1999 with a total approaching $400 M,
- The wide range of products Cuba buys is extremely
encouraging for Canadian's exporters,
- Key sectors: Food industry, building materials, environment,
marine hardware, new and reconditioned machinery and parts,
electrical distribution equipment and products relating
to the tourism industry.
===> Advantages <===
- Present your products and/or services directly to the buyers,
- Save time and money by meeting privately with the buyers,
- Assess the demand for your products and/or services,
- Develop a network of international contacts,
