Havana’s international fair (FIHAV) is a great unknown for the vast majority of American businesses. But not all.
American businesses do attend the fair. They are not listed anywhere in the exhibitors catalog, nor are they shown anywhere on the exhibitors map. Tucked away in a quiet, remote pavilion, they mainly include a variety of agricultural producers, ports and shippers, quietly attending the fair under the shelter of licenses granted by OFAC.
Some snapshots from FIHAV 2014:
Cuba is much more than just rum and tobacco but those stands are the evident showstoppers.
And now, the American exhibits, on opening day. (Most American visitors did not arrive until the second or third day.) Compare and contrast.
