State Agriculture Commissioner Roger Johnson says he has been invited to bring a delegation of North Dakota food exporters and processors to Cuba in May.
"The Cubans are very interested in the commodities and products that North Dakota has to offer," Johnson said Tuesday in a statement.
He is organizing a trip to Havana May 21-25, to finish signing contracts for a $20 million purchase agreement.
So far, $10 million worth of products has been contracted and delivered by North Dakota producers, Johnson said.
"We hope to finish contracting the remaining $10 million and act on any future sales contracts," Johnson said.
Interested food exporting and processing companies should contact his department by Feb. 21 if they want to be part of the trade trip, Johnson said.
