This is what it has to do with...

China’s exports of dry beans to Cuba peaked at 99,031 tons in 1997, stopped in 1998 and were only 987 tons in 1999. The average price for China’s exports of dry beans to Cuba rose from $350 per ton in 1995 to $408 per ton in 1997. As Cuba found it difficult to obtain dry beans from other sources at reasonable prices, a return to China for kidney beans occurred in 2000. For all of 2000, it is likely that the quantity of kidney beans exported by China to Cuba will be back up near the 1997 peak. Shipments during the first nine months of 2000 had rebounded to 68,483 tons.

ok, weird, you've got me stumped. What's the catch? Do you realize that you just posted a report from the bean growers assoc. dated Aug, 2001 about beans going to Cuba? Or did you mistype?
