Agro-Business
For long sugar cane cultivation has been the main agricultural
activity in Mauritius. As the era of guaranteed price and quota free access for
Mauritian produced sugar on the EU market comes to an end, the traditional
sugar industry is set to transform itself into a sugar cane cluster producing
altogether several types of sugar, electricity and ethanol.
Other agricultural products, namely fruits and vegetables are
grown locally, though on a much smaller scale. Mauritius remains by far a net
importer of food, in times when growing importance is laid on food security.
Investment opportunities therefore exist in agri-business,
ranging from the cultivation of a wider range of produce to value-added
processing, from dairy products to livestock, for local consumption as well as
for exports.
