The Central Romana Sugar Factory in La Romana has just finished its sugar production for the period 2010-2011, closing with a record production on 181,516 tonnes of refined sugar produced.

The news of a record production of refined sugar means continuing prosperity for the La Romana area as well as the entire Dominican Republic, as this ensures a continuous sugar supply which creates not only stable markets but also employment.

Central Romana also announced that its refined sugar manufacture has been awarded the ISO-9001 certification for Quality Control by the International Organization for Standardization., becoming the first mill in the Dominican Republic to achieve this important goal, ensuring compliance with international standards in developing refined sugar.

Central Romana is very pleased to have obtained this important certification, issued by the British firm Lloyd’s – which is the result of an ongoing effort to maintain a high index of quality in their manufacturing department.

This year the Central Romana Corporation ground 3,418,423 tonnes of cut sugar cane, which produced 430,000 tonnes of raw sugar.
