The 21st Havana International Exposition opened in Havana on Sunday, attracting about 1,300 enterprises from over 50 countries and regions throughout the world.

At the opening ceremony at the Cuban exposition center, the secretary of the executive committee of the Cuban Council of Ministers, Carlos Lage Davila, said the participation of so many foreign companies in the exposition showed that the economic and trade blockade the United States has imposed on Cuba for the past 40 years is "unreasonable."

About 71 companies from 17 US states participated in the exposition, bringing forth agricultural and livestock products such as rice, fruit juices and meat.

A businessman from California said that all US merchants hope to take the opportunity to have a good display of their products so that more US products could be exported to Cuba.

The Havana international exposition, since its inauguration in 1983, has become one of the most important trade fairs in Latin American and Caribbean region.
