How much sugar do they bring to the US?

Now surely you aren't trying to argue that Cuba's economy and sugar industry is a total failure because of the evil United States... I hope.

No, in fact they have the fourth biggest sugar industry in the world; it accounts for 52% of their exports. Some dropping sugar prices and constant hurricanes are threatening that. Cuba's never been a threat, even as inefficient as they are. They simply lack the human and natural resources to be a threat.

BUT THEY DON'T CONTROL THE US MARKET.

And that's the only one I'm concerned about.
