Its surely going to be interesting. They used to be a major exporter of cane sugar, so will see how this flows once again to the fat fetish American shores.
The other is in organic food production. Cuban's are experts in it, but only out of necessity. They lack modern farm equipment and instead use lots of manual labor. I'm not buying into the exploited termonolgy of organic foods, but its a hot 'buzz' word and something thats a growing trend in the US. Whole Foods marketing is all about organic.
Lastly, med's. I think there's going to be some major transformation in how many from the US will be going to Cuba for low cost medical care and med's. The way US pharmaceutical industry conducts itself is a major crime against humanity and Americans. I'm hoping this changes it and opens everyones eyes. Its time to put corporate execs in the hot seat.
A little tidbit and recalling this from the documentary Sicko-
Interviews disclose that 9/11 rescue workers who volunteered after the September 11, 2001 attacks were denied government funds to care for physical and psychological maladies they subsequently developed, including respiratory disease and PTSD-induced bruxism. Unable to receive and afford medical care in the U.S., the 9/11 rescue workers, as well as all of Moore's friends in the film needing medical attention, appear to sail from Miami to Cuba on three speedboats in order to obtain free medical care provided for the enemy combatants detained at the U.S. Guantanamo Bay detainment camp. The group arrives at the entrance channel to "Gitmo" and Moore uses a megaphone to request access, pleading for the 9/11 victims to receive treatment that is on par with the medical attention the "evildoers" are receiving. The attempt ceases when a siren is blown from the base, and the group moves on to Havana, where they purchase inexpensive medicine and receive free medical treatment at the elite Hermanos Ameijeiras Hospital. Providing only their names and birth dates, the volunteers are hospitalized and receive medical attention. Before they leave, the 9/11 rescue workers are honored by a local Havana fire station.
