With a strong focus on integrating energies, we harness the power of sugarcane and renewable sources to create a brighter future for all. Through our commitment to excellence, we are dedicated to delivering exceptional results across our diversified business portfolio.
Our journey spans back to the 1850s and is deeply rooted in Mauritius' sugarcane heritage. Our transition, in 2009, from Mon Trésor Mon Désert to Omnicane marked a pivotal moment for the Group, reflecting our engagement to progress and diversify. Over the decades, we have successfully navigated through changing economic landscapes, embracing sustainability and innovation along the way. With our transformation into a high-value-added diversified group, we are now leading players in the agro-industry and energy segments.
The Group has also some exceptional land sites for high-end property development. Committed to operational excellence, we continuously adapt to the evolving world while contributing to a better tomorrow.

With Sustainability strongly embedded in Omnicane’s DNA, in line with its purpose of improving life for future generations and its vision is to be a leader in sustainable developments in the region. Cultivating a culture that embraces change has allowed the Company to stay ahead of the curve, make strategic decision and drive innovation. Omnicane’s strategy going forward is to consolidate and capitalise on our century-old savoir-faire and operational excellence in the cane industry and transition further towards renewable energy in Mauritius and in the region. This strategy is backed by two Strategic Business Units: Agro-Industry & Energy and Properties, Retail & Brands.
The Agro-Industry and Energy Strategic Business Unit is divided into two main sections: Agro-Industry & Energy. The Agro-Industry’s strategic objectives are to promote the increase in land under sugarcane cultivation, further develop markets for refined sugar, strengthen the positioning of the refinery as the sugar hub for the region and further diversify the range of products manufactured by the distillery. The Energy segment’s strategic objective is to replace coal with biomass within our existing power plants, hence providing the country with a reliable and competitive base load renewable energy supply and to implement renewable energy projects in Mauritius and abroad.
The Property, Retail & Brands Strategic Business Unit consists of two segments. The Property segment’s strategic objective is to re-zone and re-strategize the land holding of Omnicane and add value to its landmark sites. The Retail & Brands segment has a strategic objective to maximise return on all products available from the Agro-Industry & Energy SBU through value-added processing, packaging, branding and marketing. In line with the IHG’s brand standards, it also seeks to position Holiday Inn Mon Tresor’s (reputation) as a trustworthy hotel service provider, complementing the Airport & Transit hotel with full-scale MICE, banqueting facilities and be a reliable business meeting venue.
