Although it is no longer the largest contributor to national production and wealth generation, the sector still makes a significant contribution to GDP (4.9%), export earnings, foreign exchange earnings, and employment. Over the years, the sector has evolved substantially; for instance, the sugar industry has expanded into the cane industry, which now includes the production of refined and specialty sugars, alcohol, rum and biomass (bagasse) for renewable energy production. Additionally, high-value horticulture, fruits, vegetables, and a variety of processed foods are now produced locally.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2d1a8be text read-more-text elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2d1a8be\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; font-size: 0.9375rem; text-align: justify;\">The agriculture sector in Mauritius is facing several challenges, which have been exacerbated by recent global events. Despite significant strides toward self-sufficiency in some crops, the country still relies heavily on imports for processed foods. In response to these challenges, the government has introduced several measures aimed at promoting import substitution, enhancing food security by increasing local production, supporting sustainable and resilient farming practices, and developing the agro-processing industry.<\/p><p>The government&#8217;s strategy is focused on modernising the sector through the adoption of new technologies, improving food quality and safety, implementing good agricultural practices, embracing green agriculture concepts, and promoting controlled environment agriculture. By targeting these areas, the government is committed to strengthening the agricultural sector and ensuring long-term food security for Mauritius.<\/p><p><strong style=\"color: #000000;\">The

to the impacts of climate change, which can negatively affect crop yields. To mitigate these risks and decrease our dependency on imports, the adoption of modern farming techniques is essential. Controlled environment agriculture methods, such as greenhouses, container farming, hydroponics, aquaponics, and vertical farming, offer promising solutions to enhance food production and resilience in the face of these challenges.<\/p>\n\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                <\/ul>\n                        <\/li>\n                        <li>\n                            <ul uk-accordion=\"\" class=\"uk-accordion\">\n                <li class=\"uk-open\">\n                    <a class=\"uk-accordion-title\" href=\"\">Bio-Farming<\/a>\n                    <div class=\"uk-accordion-content\">\n                    <p>The rising concerns of consumers on the negative impact of agrochemicals has led to an increase in demand for safe fruits and vegetables.

To assist both existing and aspiring operators in this field, the EDB has created a user-friendly database containing comprehensive information on over a hundred plants with nutraceutical potential. This database can be accessed at: <a href=\"http:\/\/app-edb-nutra.azurewebsites.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/app-edb-nutra.azurewebsites.net\/<\/a>. Additionally, the government has introduced various incentives to attract investment in the nutraceutical sector and establish a supportive ecosystem for transforming crops with high nutraceutical potential into value-added products.<\/p>\n\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                <\/ul>\n                        <\/li>\n                        <li>\n                            <ul uk-accordion=\"\" class=\"uk-accordion\">\n                <li class=\"uk-open\">\n                    <a class=\"uk-accordion-title\" href=\"\">Food Processing<\/a>\n                    <div class=\"uk-accordion-content\">\n                    <p>Food processing presents opportunities to minimise post-harvest losses; increase shelf life of farm produce; and reduce imports.
