Dominican agro-industrial and tourism company
Central Romana Corporation, Ltd. is an agro-industrial and tourism company based in the Dominican Republic.[1]
Central Romana Corporation was established in 1912 as a subsidiary of South Puerto Rico Sugar Company.[2] In 1967, South Puerto Rico Sugar was acquired by Gulf and Western Industries, becoming part of its Gulf and Western Americas Corporation division.[3] In 1984, Gulf and Western Americas Corporation was sold to a group of investors including Carlos Morales Troncoso and the Fanjul brothers.[4]
In 2022, the government of the United States sanctioned Central Romana Corporation after investigating the company and concluding that it had been using forced labor on its sugarcane fields.[5] The company denied the allegations.[6]
In 2025, the Trump administration lifted the ban on Central Romana. The New York Times noted that, the Fanjul Corporation gave a million dollars to a PAC supporting Trump, as well as $413,000 to the RNC.[7][8]
