The North sets its sights on Cuban laboratories

The production in Cuba of exclusive and last generation biopharmaceuticals is attracting the attention of the United States and the European Union.

New doors can open shortly for the Cuban pharmaceutical and biotechnological industry in very disputed as well as restrictive markets. The European Union is modifying political and commercial positions toward Cuba precisely when high-ranking officials from Washington are ratifying a special regulation for an understanding with Havana in the field of research and the production of medicines.


Cuba invests in quest for sugar

The Azcuba Business Group says it has sufficient sugarcane and more modern machinery to recover the growth line it lost a year before.

The Cuban sugar industry started grinding sugarcane a month ago with the declared aim of recovering the path to growth it had lost in the previous harvest. After taking off in early November with the Harlem sugar factory, in the western province of Artemisa, the 2016-2017 harvest has gradually spread to other territories and in the first week of December, 27 sugar factories were already working.


Air bridge between the U.S. and Havana

U.S. airlines resumed this week regular flights to Havana to increasingly strengthen the connections between the United States and Cuba, while visits by U.S. citizens to the neighbour to the south continue increasing.

With a Boeing 737 flight from Miami to the Cuban capital on Monday the 28th, American Airlines took the lead over the other airlines from that country that have been creating this year steady routes to several points of the Cuban geography, after 55 years of suspension.


Cuban television and MLB

One step forward, two steps back.

Cuban television’s behaviour regarding the broadcasting of the games of that professional circuit that is the Major League Baseball (MLB), the one with the highest level in the world for that sport, can be interpreted as an out of tune parody of that slogan of the Cuban Sugar Kings to get a franchise in the MLB, “one more step and we’re there.”
