Representatives from the US and Cuban agriculture sectors are sitting down in the hope of working out new business deals.
A group of 95 US representatives are in Cuba for a three-day meeting.
John Block, a former US Agriculture Secretary, is among them.
"We have a farmer-to-farmer program where our farmers come to the countries and share ideas and learn from each other. I'm just saying, we're very sincere about this opportunity and I'm happy we're this far. We've got a long ways to go. I don't want to kid ourselves. But we need to hang together and keep working to strengthen the relationship and in the final analysis, bring us all together."
