According to Google, it's 145.83 dollars. Why did you divide by 12?
Google also shows the minimum wage is 2100, and the average is 4000 CUP. I guess the cost of living is also a lot lower than most countries.

Google shows official data that is basically useless, a clear example of this was Venezuela and lately, Iran, when everyone stopped using government data and used black market rates their wages went down the drain in foreign currency.

HAVANA, Aug 2 (Reuters) - The Cuban peso was trading on the informal market at an all-time low of 230 to the dollar on Wednesday, slumping to half its value a year ago as consumers struggle with surging inflation and scarce goods, a widely watched tracker showed.

so the minimum wage is around ~$10 and the average is lower than $20.

If eggs would be that expensive, I'd eat something else. I still don't get it though: hatching chickens is no rocket science. If someone has a a few hens and a rooster, they'll basically multiply themselves and eat whatever they can find.

I knew I heard that somewhere else:
