Ending Cuba Embargo urged by new agriculture industry coalition

2015-01-08 22:00:19| Agriculture - Topix.net

A new agribusiness coalition is seeking an immediate end of the U.S. economic embargo on Cuba, prodding Congress to act as the Obama administration eases some restrictions in place for more than 50 years. The U.S. Agriculture Coalition for Cuba, with more than 25 companies and farm trade associations, is being created today in Washington to urge repeal of a 1996 law that made permanent sanctions on Cuba after Fidel Castro seized power in a communist revolution.
