Harvesting Unity, Nurturing Prosperity
Who We Are
Main Activities
The estate cultivates sugarcane over 700 hectares, using mechanized techniques. Harvested canes are processed at Omnicane Milling Ltd’s La Baraque factory, achieving an annual sugar production of approximately 5,345 tons, among the island's highest yields.
Since 2003, the company diversifies into sustainable agriculture, growing various vegetables in greenhouses spanning 2.37 hectares and open fields, notably potatoes. Its produce is primarily supplied to Mauritian hotels and local wholesalers for distribution in the domestic market.
Several varieties of fruits are harvested on the estate, including papaya, passion fruit, banana, and macadamia nuts. These fruits are mainly to some Mauritian hotels and various sold wholesalers.
The company produces ornamental and garden plants in its nursery in Terracine.
Our History

The Union Sugar Estates Co. Ltd. is formed by the merging of three plots of land totaling 69.98 hectares. A sugar factory is built on site, and the company owns a steam mill, producing 321 tons of sugar and 250 barrels of cane syrup. It is likely that the name UNION was given for the first time at this point.

The miller planter aspect of Union begins as it co-owns a mill with its two immediate neighbors, Saint Aubin Limitée and Bel Air Sugar Estate Limited. The joint venture, known as Société Union Saint Aubin, operates on the site of Union’s old mill. In its prime, SUSA crushed up to 490,000 tons of cane. SUSA also operated a power plant and exported power to the grid during the milling season.
