Cuba currently trades with almost every nation in the world, albeit with restrictions from the U.S. embargo. Trade with the USA is restricted to cash-only transactions for food and medicine. Historically, sugar, tobacco and nickel were the main sources of foreign trade income for Cuba, but in the 1990s tourism saw an explosive growth. (Credit Image: © Ruaridh Stewart/ZUMA Press)
