Cuban potato deal continues to languish

North Dakota Agriculture Commissioner Roger Johnson says a deal to ship seed potatoes to Cuba has stalled, in part over a language barrier. “There is zero chance North Dakota seed potatoes will be going to Cuba this fall — the calendar just got away,” Johnson said. Johnson said one question yet to be answered is where the potato shipments will be inspected, either in North Dakota or a sea port. The Cuban proposal, when translated to English, says potato shipments would be inspected at a “loading port” but Johnson believes it should be “loading point.”
