Polledo, Rionda & Co. First of Exchange for $6,000, 1876, I/C Sugar Baron Polledo, Rionda & Co. was a prominent Cuban firm deeply involved in the sugar industry during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, playing a central role in Cuba’s sugar economy. Linked to the influential Rionda family, particularly Manuel Rionda, the company controlled plantations and mills that exported vast quantities of sugar, primarily to the United States. Manuel Rionda later expanded the family’s influence through the Czarnikow-Rionda Company in New York, solidifying their role as sugar barons. These barons amassed great wealth by leveraging industrialized sugar production and labor-intensive practices, often exploiting workers under harsh conditions. Their influence declined with the Cuban Revolution in 1959, which nationalized the sugar industry, dismantling their empire. ��������������������������� Est. $50-100
