Catfish Diplomacy with Cuba.
.
On May 28, five members of Congress arrived unannounced in Havana, joining 114 companies from 22 states to negotiate new sales of agricultural products to communist Cuba, which has faced a U.S. trade embargo since 1962. Despite the blockade, Cuba is expected to sign new food deals with the U.S. worth about $150 million. Congress is weighing several proposals to lift or ease U.S. trade sanctions with Cuba.
.
CATFISH Mississippi began negotiations with Cuba to export catfish, a Cuban favorite. The Mississippi delegation in Havana treated Cuban officials to a May 27 catfish fry.
.
RICE Each year, the country needs 700,000 tons of rice, a Cuban diet staple, to feed its people. Vietnam supplies 400,000 tons, but states like Arkansas want to export more to Cuba.
.
POULTRY Alabama, from which Cuba bought almost a third of all its U.S. purchases last year, is looking to increase its exports of poultry--as well as utility poles, cotton and snack foods.
.
POTATOES This summer Cuba will send experts to North Dakota to close a deal to import an initial load of 100 tons of American seed potatoes in the hopes of jump-starting the island's potato harvest.
