Visitors to Cuba's pavilion can explore more about the economic, social, and environmental transformations taking place in Cuba by touring the pavilion, which reviews the investment opportunities available in the agricultural field in Cuba and invites business owners to invest in those opportunities.
The pavilion points out that Cuba has many fertile arable lands, abundant irrigation water, and advanced agricultural infrastructure. It also has great experience in producing sugar cane, coffee, vegetables, fruits, poultry, meat, and fodder, in addition to developing agricultural production as one of its most important priorities.
Cuba is an example of a country that over the past two decades has made great strides toward developing more sustainable food systems. This reputation is based on Cuba's agroecology revolution, which began in earnest in the early 1990s.
Cuba is participating in the Expo 2023 Doha to provide support for the entry of smart agriculture exporting companies into the Middle East markets. Through its participation in the Expo, Cuba aims to strengthen its economic relations with the State of Qatar and increase opportunities to enter new markets in the Middle East region, promoting its competitive industrial capabilities and distinctive cultural characteristics, and enhancing Cuba's global competitiveness, by highlighting its vibrant culture and smart experience that connects the past and present with the future.
