ASA, Cuban Agribusiness Group Sign MOU
USAgNet - 05/27/2016

With a signing ceremony Thursday, the U.S. Agriculture Coalition for Cuba and Cuba's Grupo Empresarial Agricola formalized an agreement between the two nation's farm and food industries to re-establish the Cuban marketplace for U.S. food and agricultural products.

As part of the agreement, both USACC and GEA will meet regularly to ensure that the relationship between both industries is mutually productive and beneficial. All this week, American Soybean Association (ASA) Vice President and Roseville, Ill., farmer Ron Moore is in Havana with USACC to interact with Cuban farmers.

"Our Cuban partners represent a great deal of promise for the American soybean industry," said Moore. "The agreement that USACC is signing on to this morning is something that will help to ensure both American producers and Cuban buyers have what they need as our relationship continues to grow together."

ASA supports policy to normalize relations with Cuba, including the full removal of the embargo.
