The International Labor Organization recognized CAC’s social work, as the first company in the southern region to eradicate child labor. Likewise, it was also recognized for its good practice in managing labor migration.

In 2018, the Central Sugar Consortium (CAC) launched its Caña Linda brand, in its 1 pound family presentation, as well as in the now traditional 125 pound bags. This launch is the result of the company’s effort to bring sugar from our fields to the table of each Dominican family with the hygiene, quality and price it deserves.
Caña Linda is made from cane juice, planted in our cane fields, a solid product, crystallized, amber in color and totally soluble in water. It is used as a natural sweetener, in pastry shops, bakeries, in industrial processes and in the homes of Dominicans who prefer it.
Our product is distributed through a strategic commercial partner in all parts of the country, so you can find it in grocery stores, warehouses, and supermarkets.
