Johnson, president of USACC, mentioned in the press release that \u201cThis meeting provides an opportunity to meet Cuba\u2019s new president and also demonstrates the importance agriculture holds in advancing trade relations.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Johnson explained that in last year\u2019s Presidential Memorandum on Cuba agricultural trade had explicitly identified agriculture trade \u2013 permitted by law in TSRA (Trade Sanctions Reform and Export Enhancement Act) \u2013 as in the U.S. national interest.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThe Trump Administration has continued dialogue with Cuba including USDA\u2019s meetings with Cuba\u2019s agriculture ministry. Any action on Cuba sanctions would have to re-start a policy process that many in the Administration prefer to keep in the rear view mirror,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/oncubamagazine.com\/economia-negocios\/secretario-de-agricultura-por-mas-comercio-con-cuba\/<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">He added that in the near term they expect the Trump Administration to perhaps make a political statement about Cuba in the context of GOP campaigns in Florida this fall.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cFor our purposes\u2026it is as important as ever to speak up to protect agriculture\u2019s place in the Cuba policy and to remind the Administration that Cuba is an opportunity for expanded U.S. exports,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The USACC also sponsors the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uscuba-agricultureconference.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">U.S.-Cuba Agriculture Conference<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> that will take place in Havana next November 8-10. Several top-level U.S. representatives are expected to attend, like Senator Moran and Congressman Crawford, among others, as well as Cuban ministers, cooperative members and farmers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/oncubamagazine.com\/noticia\/cuba-eeuu-reunion-tecnica-sobe-agricultura\/<\/p>\n<p><strong>An amendment would save 690 million dollars<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The organization\u2019s other actions include the support of an amendment allowing the unblocking of Market Access Program and Foreign Market Development Program funds for Cuba. If passed it would be the first legislation approved regarding the Cuban market since 2001, according to the USACC press release.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cit is important for us to be consistent in our trade policy,\u201d Johnson said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Meanwhile, the bipartisan group Engage Cuba sent a statement to the press signed by more than 60 agricultural associations, businesses and politicians who support the amendment in 17 of the country\u2019s states.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The group specifically urges through a letter to the leadership of the U.S. House and Senate Committees on Agriculture to \u201cinclude a provision in the 2018 farm bill that the Congressional Budget Office determined would save $690 million over 10 years,\u201d the press <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagecuba.org\/press-releases\/2018\/9\/5\/agriculture-groups-support-farm-bill-cuba-provision-that-would-save-690-million\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">release<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> explains. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The amendment is an adaptation of the so-called Cuba Agricultural Exports Act and would expand agricultural trade with Cuba by removing restrictions on private financing for U.S. food exports. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/static1.squarespace.com\/static\/55806c54e4b0651373f7968a\/t\/5b8fe35a70a6ad4209cc964f\/1536156506447\/2018+Farm+Bill+Letter.pdf?mc_cid=2aa2ae0388&amp;mc_eid=c7537374fd\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">letter<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> also urges lawmakers to preserve a Senate provision that allows farmers to use federal market promotion funds in Cuba.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/oncubamagazine.com\/noticia\/sector-agricola-eeuu-embargo-cuba\/<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Currently, U.S. sales of agricultural products to Cuba are limited to cash transactions, causing Cuba to primarily turn to Europe, Latin America and Asia for nearly $2 billion per year in agricultural imports, Engage Cuba pointed out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Senator Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND) said that the bipartisan amendment \u201cwould give the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) the ability to build reliable trade partnerships between U.S. producers and Cuban buyers, strengthening our ag economy and finally removing outdated barriers to selling our products to consumers in a nation that sits just off our coastline. It would also help boost North Dakota\u2019s farmers during a time of serious uncertainty from the administration\u2019s trade policies.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For several years, U.S. farmers have tried to overcome the embargo obstacles and bring about trade rapprochement with Cuba. In 2015, the U.S. secretary of agriculture visited the island, during the Obama administration, which created opposition from several Florida politicians, including the governor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/oncubamagazine.com\/economia-negocios\/thomas-vilsack-que-el-contenedor-que-se-traiga-a-la-isla-no-vuelva-vacio-a-ee-uu\/<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To become law, both provisions must be approved by the bicameral conference committee, which convened officially for the first time today Wednesday.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">These are the principal undersigned organizations and persons.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hon.
