From November 24 to 26, the 42nd edition of the Havana International Fair (FIHAV, in Spanish) will take place; it’s an unusual, virtual edition, chosen by the organizers due to the country’s complex economic situation.
The Pinar de Río province will have a booth, reported Idalmis Díaz Mederos, director of Foreign Trade in the territory.
Promoting tradable local goods and services as well as a portfolio of opportunities for foreign investment is the essential purpose, and responds to the implementation of economic and social transformations.
Some of the companies will compete independently or through their respective ministries, but they will also have a presence in the area of the province that will emphasize showcasing the local potential as a destination for nature tourism, especially with the recent approval by UNESCO of Viñales’ candidacy for inclusion in the global network of geoparks.
They will promote the possibilities for agricultural development, in agro-ecological farms and the portfolio of products already inserted in the international market, among which those of companies subordinated to the Ministry of Food Industry (Minal, in Spanish) like La Conchita and Bebidas y Refrescos.
For the first time, the state-owned SME NovaXaaS SURL will participate, specializing in information technology, which has highly qualified staff and experience in software development and data management.
