Agriculture and rail transport
The basis of the agricultural division is the cultivation and processing of sugar cane . For the transport from the fields to the sugar mill in La Romana , the company operates a 354-kilometer rail network in standard gauge , on which 17 of its own diesel locomotives (mostly of the GE 70-ton switcher type , built before 1959) and 900 freight wagons are on the move. The company's sugar factory produces 400,000 tons of cane sugar annually , which is 70% of the country's total production. The chemical furfural is also produced from the remains of sugar processing , with the plant in La Romana being the world's largest factory for this.
