Merchant members of the USA Rice Federation are in Havana, Cuba this week to assess the rice market potential in Cuba.
The group will hold talks with trade officials from Cuba's import agency ALIMPORT, the ministries of agriculture, foreign trade and foreign affairs, and meet with other rice industry businesses.
The group includes members of the U.S. rice industry from Arkansas and a Louisiana-based journalist.
USA Rice has been the leading advocate supporting legislation in Congress to remove the cash payment in advance requirement and allow expanded U.S. agricultural trade and travel with Cuba.
THV's Mike Duncan is headed to Stuttgart for more on this story and will have more on "Today's THV at 6:00" and todaysthv.com.
