Description
The Tuinucú Sugar Company was already set up in 1891 when Cuba was still controlled by Spain. It operated the Tuinucú mill (active from 1850) which in the 1930s was above average size. It also in the 1920s acquired a railway line to connect the mill to a port. The company belonged to the Rionda family. The mill was nationalized after the Cuban revolution and may still be operating today.
