We are still waiting on some finalized agreements between Texas seller and Cuba's importers. In the meantime, some of the delegates who accompanied me to Cuba returned with renewed optimism about trade between Texas and Cuba.
Patrick Wallesen with WestStar Food Co. in Corpus Christi says he considers the trip a success because Alimport is now aware that many Texas companies are eager to do business with them.
"I had productive conversations with some of the new buyers at Alimport and the buyers for the grocery stores. I am glad they are willing to let us offer packaged products like beans, peas, lentils and chick peas to them on a monthly basis," he says.
"This is really the type of business I seek, rather then the large shipments to Alimport we've done in the past, which have been months or even years apart."
Frank Walker with Walker Ltd. says he is also looking forward to making trade agreements with Cuban importers.
