00:00Agricultores de Estados Unidos y Cuba apuestan por crear y ampliar sus intercambios y además reconocen que sin importar la administración que esté y sus políticas, el comercio agrícola puede y debe continuar.
00:13AlmaPlus TV habló con algunos de los asistentes a la sexta ronda de intercambio anual entre productores de los dos países y esto nos contaron.
00:30Para resolver los problemas comunes.
00:34No importa dónde vas en el mundo, regardless de su edad, religión, religión o la política, la comida es la única cosa que nos condena.
00:43La gente y la gente, no hay cultura sin agricultor y ahora mismo, estamos en el mundo de la vida de la vida.
00:49Porque Cuba es en la lista de sponsorsos de terrorismo, es muy difícil para los bancos de intercambios,
00:56so it makes our transactions less transparente, and nobody wants that.
01:01We want to have transparent banking relations so that money can flow in both directions.
01:06A joint agreement, a three-way agreement between the Louisiana State University Agricultural Center
01:13and the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and then the Ministry of Agriculture for the Republic of Cuba.
01:20It was sort of a first step in formalizing a relationship.
01:26So that's the purpose of our visit, is to continue this collaboration that was outlined in that memorandum from late last year.
01:36Over the last four years since Cuba expanded their private sector to allow the private sector to import more goods,
01:45we've seen the variety of goods increase.
01:48So regardless of their administration, regardless of change, we all got to eat.
01:53I think right now people are frozen.
01:55I think a lot of people are, they don't know what to do.
01:58We need a more clear direction from the administration, specifically around agriculture.
02:04But the message that we're receiving is while there are increased restrictions to certain parts of the Cuban government,
02:12they're more targeted.
02:13The message to us is that our agricultural trade can continue and needs to continue.
02:20The Coalición de Agricultores Estadounidenses, reunida esta semana en La Habana,
02:24se mantiene confiada en el avance de los negocios con Cuba
02:27y esperan que en el futuro puedan abrirse las posibilidades para hacer exportaciones de forma bilateral.
02:34federal.
