Havana, January 6 (RHC)-- As Cuban fields are being cleared of Marabu, U.S. citizens will now be able to purchase this quality variety of charcoal. An agreement was signed Thursday in Havana between CubaExport and U.S. Coabana Trading LLC company, following a lengthy negotiation process.
On January 18th, two days before U.S. President-elect Donald Trump is sworn into office, the first 40 ton shipment will arrive to the U.S. from Cuba, representing a historic occasion - the first export of Cuban goods to the U.S. in more than five decades.
In addition to CubaExport, Cuban charcoal is also marketed by companies such as Cimex, Cítricos Caribes and Alcona, which all together export a maximum of 80,000 tons a year to between five and six countries. Meanwhile, efforts are currently underway to branch out to the UK and German markets.
Marabu charcoal has a high calorific power, making it one of the best in the world. It is produced in natural wood burning stoves and does not contribute to deforestation.
