With limited exposure to American products, Cubans are excited to see more selection and quality on supermarket shelves.

Expect income growth
Cuba is known for providing its citizens with a world class education. As access to the global market grows, Cubans whose job opportunities have been limited will be able compete internationally for top paying jobs.
Manufacturing growth
Increased disposable income
New investment will bring a surge in manufacturing jobs and consumers' disposable income. Many American companies are looking to take advantage of Cuba's well trained workforce by establishing new manufacturing operations in the country.
Strict government control
Be prepared to navigate regulations
