The latest reporting lays bare what conservative readers already suspected: when America puts its producers first, longtime domestic players like the Fanjul family reap the rewards. Forbes’ profile — picked up widely across the web — shows the Fanjuls, a Cuban‑American sugar dynasty, are poised to benefit from White House policies that tilt the playing field back toward American cane sugar and away from cheap foreign imports.
These are not small‑time farmers; the Fanjuls run Florida Crystals and the ASR Group, control a huge slice of U.S. cane sugar refining, and the family’s holdings and revenues run into the billions — the sort of scale that makes them a real force in the industry. Their story is classic entrepreneurial grit turned into a national strategic asset: acres, mills, refineries and even resorts tied into a vertically integrated American business.
Make no mistake, the Fanjuls also know how to play Washington — political donations, high‑stakes lobbying, and access to power have been part of their toolkit for decades. Forbes noted millions funneled into both parties over time and concentrated giving to Trump committees since 2016, which is exactly how you protect American jobs and influence policy in a democracy.
Policy changes have followed. The One Big Beautiful Bill raised the sugar loan rate — a concrete boost to domestic cane producers — and the administration has imposed steep tariffs on major foreign exporters, moves that blunt competition from subsidized global producers and help keep sugar supply chains American. That’s not social engineering; it’s economic patriotism: protecting American producers from unfair competition and ensuring food security.
When the President nudged Coca‑Cola to offer a U.S. cane sugar version of its flagship product, the company answered, announcing a cane‑sugar option for U.S. shelves this fall — a win for American supply chains and for consumers who prefer the real thing. Big private contracts and product shifts like this don’t happen in a vacuum; they follow policy incentives and plain‑spoken leadership that prioritize American ingredients and American labor.
Some on the left will howl about “crony capitalism” and call every successful industrialist a villain, but conservatives should be proud when government policies reward production over dependency. If tariffs and targeted loan‑rate adjustments mean higher wages in Florida fields and more stable rural economies, that’s a price worth paying compared with the slow hollowing‑out of American industry under globalist complacency.
Yes, keep an eye on influence and make sure subsidies aren’t abused — transparency and competition matter — but don’t let Washington’s critics gaslight you into thinking patriotism and industry are corrupt by default. Real sovereignty means standing with the people who feed our families and sustain our towns.
At the end of the day, this is about American priorities: buy from American workers, seed American prosperity, and stop bowing to foreign producers who undercut our standards and our livelihoods. President Trump moved the needle, American companies followed, and the result is a sweeter deal for workers and consumers who believe in putting America first.
