Thai entrepreneurs are encouraged to turn to Cuba for trade and investment opportunities, DITP General-Director Malee Choklumlerd said on March 2.

According to the Thai Trade Centre in Miami, Cuba is seeking to import various types of agricultural and industrial products to meet the needs of its expanding economy. It also requires capital and technology worth approximately US$3.5 billion from foreign investors to support the country’s development.

“There are investment opportunities for Thai entrepreneurs such as tourism-related products and services, hospitals and rehabilitation centres,” Thai Trade Centre, Miami Director Nithima Siriphokakij said. “Products such as construction and agricultural machinery, construction materials and automobile parts are all much sought after in Cuba.”

Siriphokakij advised Thai entrepreneurs to join major trade fairs in Cuba such as the Feria Internacional De La Habana (FIHAV) to promote Thai products and search for business partners. This year, FIHAV will be held from October 30 to November 2 in Havana.
