HAVANA (Reuters) - The United States ranked among communist Cuba's top five
trading partners for the first time in 2007 despite the decades-old U.S.
trade embargo, as U.S. agriculture sales increased by $100 million.

Trade data for 2007 posted on the Web site of Cuba's National Statistics
Office (www.one.cu) placed the United States fifth at $582 million, compared
with $484 million in 2006, including shipping costs.
