ST. PAUL, MN – This week, Lt. Governor Tina Smith is leading a bipartisan trade mission in Cuba. The Minnesota delegation is cultivating ties between the state’s agricultural industry and new markets in Cuba. Stronger ties will allow Minnesota farmers to tap demand in Cuba for poultry, meat, dairy, soy, corn and dry bean products. To view photos from the trade mission so far, click here.
