Cuba visit marks historic opportunities for US agriculture
On the heels of President Obama’s historic trip to Cuba this week—marking nearly 90 years since a sitting president visited the island nation—USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack announced several measures that will foster further collaboration between the US and Cuban agriculture sectors.
“Recognizing the importance of agriculture in the United States and Cuba, USDA is advancing a new partnership for the 21st century between our two countries,” Vilsack says. "US producers are eager to help meet Cuba’s need for healthy, safe, nutritious food.”
