In the late 1960s, when tensions between Cuba and the United States had reached the point of eruption, President Lyndon B. Johnson arranged for hundreds of thousands of Cuban citizens to escape Fidel Castro’s tyrannical rule by proposing chartered airplane rides to Miami, which would later become known as Freedom Flights. Jorge Lostal’s family came in 1968, one year after his arrival at the age of 13 with a dream and the passion to make it come true. Now a partner and manager of the international grain exporting and manufacturing company Agri Commodity Trade, LLC, Mr. Lostal has enjoyed a career that spans nearly four decades, which allows him to utilize his expertise in sales and logistics on a daily basis.
