Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amid over a half a century of antagonistic political relations between the United States and Cuba during which commercial ties were largely severed, U.S. exports of agricultural products to the island nation currently stand out as one of the few points of engagement between the two countries, if to a limited degree. U.S. exports of medicine and medical products is the other product category for which the U.S. government has eased its long-standing embargo on trade with Cuba. In a major diplomatic initiative, President Obama announced in December 2014 a significant shift in relations with Cuba with the goal of transitioning from a decades-long policy of sanctions that were designed to isolate Cuba toward a more normal bilateral relationship. This book reviews the current state of agricultural trade between the United States and Cuba, identifies key impediments to expanding bilateral trade in agricultural products, identifies key provisions in the law to which these obstacles are anchored, and considers the potential consequences for trade in agricultural goods in the event that the current thaw in diplomatic relations was to be extended more broadly so that bilateral trade was returned to a more normal footing. It also summarises several of the bills introduced in the 114th Congress that propose to remove specific restrictions that impede trade in agricultural goods or that seek to lift the embargo on Cuba entirely. This book also discusses the past, present, and possible future of the U.S.- Cuba agricultural trade; and provides information on Cuba's regulatory environment as it relates to U.S. agricultural exports.

Book excerpt: This report provides an overview of the Cuban economy. Recent congressional interest in Cuba has centered on the partial lifting of trade sanctions on agricultural products and medicine. The 107th Congress may consider further easing of sanctions or other alterations to the trade embargo in effect since 1962. The paper first presents a brief historical overview of the Cuban economy. This history is characterized by dependence on major powers: first Spain, then the United States, and then the Soviet Union. The report then charts the different, and often conflicting, economic policy courses that Fidel Castro has pursued since his rise to power in 1959. The loss of Soviet support led the Cuban economy to the brink of collapse in the period from 1989-93. The economy contracted by about one-third and there were widespread shortages of food, medicine, and electricity. In desperate straits, Castro turned to market-based reforms to resuscitate the economy. Since 1994, economic growth has been generally positive, yet dependent on the world price of its principal exports, sugar and nickel, and on the price of oil, its principal import. Government spending represents about 60% of GDP, a huge level that the Castro regime is now attempting to reduce. Subsidies to state-run enterprises are being decreased and social services cut back. Taxes on the emergent dollar economy have replaced state sector revenues as the prime source of income. Principal sources of dollars in the economy are the tourist industry and remittances from the United States. Dollar inflows partially finance the chronic trade deficits that have characterized the economy since the Revolution. Market driven reforms have occurred in five principal areas: state enterprise, foreign investment, banking, entrepreneurship and agriculture. State enterprises are being grouped into various holding companies. While these enterprises are not being privatized, western accounting and business practices are being adopted, and subsidies are being reduced. Joint ventures are permitted as long as they are consistent with state policy. The banking system is being expanded and modernized to facilitate investment, yet significant structural obstacles continue to cloud the investment climate. The labor force is skilled and highly educated. The government employs approximately 75% of the workforce, yet widespread unemployment is apparent. The nation's infrastructure continues to operate, yet at reduced capacity due to aging facilities. Sugar is the major agricultural crop, though production has been hurt by underinvestment. Tobacco, coffee and citrus are also grown and exported. Cuba is endowed with the world's third largest reserves of nickel and cobalt. Cuba's manufacturing base was largely built during the Soviet era and is perceived to be obsolete. The bright spot for the Cuban economy is tourism. The inherent tension between the regime's commitment to Marxism and economic liberalization may prove an obstacle to further market-based, reforms.

Book excerpt: "This is a story of resistance against all odds, of Cuba's remarkable recovery from a food crisis brought on by the collapse of trade relations with the former socialist bloc and the tightening of the U.S. embargo. Unable to import either food or the farm chemicals and machines needed to grow it via conventional agriculture, Cuba turned inward toward self-reliance. Sustainable agriculture, organic farming, urban gardens, smaller farms, animal traction and biological pest control are part of the successful paradigm shift underway in the Cuban countryside. In this book Cuban authors offer details-for the first time in English-of these remarkable achievements, which may serve as guideposts toward healthier, more environmentally friendly and self-reliant farming in countries both North and South."--Publisher's description
