A Tampa company is trying to win approval from the Cuban government to open a warehouse distribution facility in Cuba that could potentially supply the island’s budding private sector and would stock U.S. products allowed to be exported to Cuba under exceptions to the embargo.
Florida Produce, a veteran of exporting food to Cuba, first presented the plan to Cuban officials in October and plans to head to Havana in late January in hopes of winning approval to establish the warehouse operation in a free zone on the outskirts of Havana. Initially the company was interested in the Mariel Special Economic Zone, the centerpiece of Cuban government efforts to attract foreign investment, but was told that it was reserved for manufacturing only.
