Cuba lifts ban on U.S. long-grain rice
Cuba has lifted a ban on imports of U.S. long-grain rice that it put in place last year because of fears about genetic contamination. Raul Sanchez, director of the U.S. division of the island’s food import company Alimport, said Friday the ban was lifted earlier this month and that in recent weeks Cuba has imported 30,000 tons of long-grain U.S. rice and expects to import 10,000 more soon.
