Thanks to the high quality and originality of its products, the Puerto Rican company Dulzura Borincana has been making headway among American consumers. The American market finds their snacks and sweets to be healthy alternatives that offer great taste and high nutritional value.

The company was founded in 1996 by Carlos Rivera, a young entrepreneur who had the vision of offering a distinctive selection of snacks made with tropical fruit preserves, pulp and seeds.

Flavor options for the snacks and sweets include: pineapple, coconut, guava, mango, orange, sesame, sunflower seeds and flax, and others.

The Beginning of Dulzura Borincana

Although Dulzura Borincana enjoys great brand recognition today, like any business, it faced various difficulties at first.

“Starting and growing a business requires many hours of work, a lot of imagination and great sacrifices,” said Rivera. He runs the company together with his wife, Carmen Rios.

“Starting and growing a business requires many hours of work, a lot of imagination and great sacrifices,” said Rivera.

The entrepreneur recalled how he did not have the resources to hire employees at first. As a result, he had to perform any task necessary in order to move forward with his dream.

Rivera’s company grew as time passed. The business gradually incorporated the machinery and technologies needed to increase production and meet the high consumer demand on the island.

Today, the two young entrepreneurs remain true to their vision. They are dedicated to their vision of turning that small company into an industry leader in its category.
