Abstract

For the past years, the international trade of goods and services has been characterized by a series of elements, which can be considered to be trends of the commercial flows on an international level. The trends that are observed nowadays constitute in some cases the continuity and in others the strengthening of those trends that emerged in the past decades and even in times before the Second World War. It is a challenge for the Cuban economy to be inserted in this commerce. The current domestic capabilities are difficult to be satisfactorily exploited due to scarce financial resources and instruments, no access to technology and economic obstacles imposed to the island by the American government. For this reason, all achievement will translate into a step forward towards the inclusion of Cuban products in the global value chains under the current conditions of the world market.
