North Dakota seeks potato sales in Cuba

North Dakota seeks potato sales in Cuba North Dakota officials met with representatives from the Cuban import agency Alimport in Havana Tuesday, seeking ways to get North Dakota potatoes to Cuba without spoiling, the Associated Press reported.
   “If we can begin sales of North Dakota potatoes and do it in a way that gets them down here in good shape, that would be a very successful trade mission, because we’ve been talking about it for five years and so far it hasn’t happened,” said Roger Johnson, North Dakota's agriculture commissioner.
   Johnson was part of a trade mission that also included representatives from two potato producing companies and state experts on plant diseases, the report said.
