Mexican firms set to gain from Cuba saga

Mexico City

US CRUISE lines and hoteliers aren't the only potential beneficiaries from a thaw in relations with Cuba. Onboard sodas and materials to build resorts could come from Mexican providers.

Coca-Cola Femsa and Cemex are among the Mexican companies poised to capture a slice of the expansion of the Cuba market, according to ING Groep. Herzfeld Caribbean Basin Fund says that after the US, Mexico has the most businesses that would get a boost from the end of the Cold War freeze.
