Challenges of the Mauritian Sugar Industry
 Sugar Industry’s Main Challenges

• Open market - Direct competition with other sugar

producing countries

• Growing scarcity of resources (Sugarcane, Labour)

• Increasing Client/Customer need for sustainable products

MAAS – A Roadmap for our Sugar Industry

1. Reducing cost:
• Centralisation of milling operations
• Voluntary/ early retirement
