ENL Land Ltd, formerly known as The Savannah Sugar Estates Company Ltd, is ENL's executive arm in the agricultural sector. Following its amalgamation with sister company Mon Désert Alma Ltd in December 2009, it now manages some 16,000 acres of land situated in the southern and central parts of Mauritius.
Most of the land under ENL Land's supervision is dedicated to sugar cane cultivation. The company currently produces an average of 385,000 tons of sugar cane which are sent to integrated sugar and electricity producing facilities in the South and in the East for the production of sugar.
Cattle, deer, chicken, food crops, ornamental shrubs, trees and tropical flowers are also part of ENL Land's production mix. The company is a major exporter of cut flowers, mainly anthuriums. In recent years, it has ventured into property development, carving out small portions of its estates for the construction of malls, high end residential estates, integrated resorts and office facilities. The company is thus serving ENL's global business strategy which is to promote property development as one of its main drivers of growth over the foreseeable future.
ENL Land is listed on the Stock Exchange of Mauritius. It has recently rationalised its structures with a view to enhance the efficiency of both its agricultural and property development segments. It is currently gearing up to implement its new strategic plan which aims at making agriculture more economically sustainable in a future which no longer holds the safety net of preferential trade agreements. |
