Following the drastic price reduction of sugar on the EU market, the Mauritian sugar cane sector is re-adapting its strategy for the sector.
Recognised for its know-how but with relatively high production costs, the Mauritian sugar industry is re-engineering to adapt to new market conditions, namely upgrading the competitiveness of the sugar cane sector and developing alternative economic activities.
CIEL Agro-Industry is engaged in the EU Sugar Reform with:

	A profound re-thinking of its growing and milling operations.
	The identification and production of value added products, especially in the energy and direct consumption sugar fields.
	A regional expansion in countries, such as Tanzania, having lower production costs.
	Much impetus to property development in Mauritius.
