Lobo has already made profits enough this year to satisfy most men. A severe drought in Puerto Rico and a 126-day strike that paralyzed Hawaii's sugar industry prevented both from meeting sugar quotas to the U.S. To make up the shortage, Cuba's sugar quota was boosted three times in five weeks, all of which was money in the bank for Lobo.
