Activities<br />

Situated on <strong>the</strong> very fertile soils of <strong>the</strong><br />

sou<strong>the</strong>rn region, Savannah has sugar cane as<br />

one of its main agricultural activities: 2,600<br />

hectares of land are under cane cultivation<br />

in <strong>the</strong> south of <strong>the</strong> <strong>is</strong>land. Field operations<br />

have been substantially mechan<strong>is</strong>ed and a<br />

harvest of approximately 200,000 tonnes of<br />

sugar cane <strong>is</strong> reaped annually.<br />

In addition, Savannah has branched into<br />

cattle farming, <strong>the</strong> cultivation of food crops<br />

as well as tropical flowers and roses for local<br />

and foreign markets.<br />

Mon Desért-Alma has been officially<br />

amalgamated to Savannah on <strong>the</strong> 30th of<br />

December 2009. Th<strong>is</strong> merger has increased<br />

<strong>the</strong> company’s land under cultivation to<br />

5,600 hectares.<br />

Th<strong>is</strong> company <strong>is</strong> l<strong>is</strong>ted on <strong>the</strong> Stock Exchange<br />

of Mauritius.<br />

The location of <strong>the</strong> lands of <strong>the</strong> amalgamated<br />

company are complementary for future<br />

developments. Most of <strong>the</strong> lands in <strong>the</strong><br />

sou<strong>the</strong>rn region are suitable for agriculture<br />

while a large part of <strong>the</strong> ones situated in <strong>the</strong><br />

centre are prone to property development.<br />

The company will now produce<br />

approximately 380,000 tonnes of sugar<br />

cane, 1.300 tonnes of potatoes, 2,200<br />

tonnes of chicken, and a substantial amount<br />

of vegetables.<br />

Two main nurseries will soon reach <strong>the</strong>ir full<br />

potential.<br />

The amalgamated company makes<br />

an optimum use of a common pool of<br />

employees & equipment, has a broader<br />

shareholder base and a stronger balance<br />

sheet.

Activities<br />

Agrex Ltd has been created in 1986<br />

in order to endorse <strong>the</strong> promotion and<br />

sales of <strong>the</strong> horticultural products of <strong>ENL</strong><br />

agribusiness.<br />

One of <strong>the</strong> first m<strong>is</strong>sions assigned to <strong>the</strong><br />

company was to put in place a marketing<br />

and d<strong>is</strong>tribution strategy for Anthurium<br />

& Orchids Ltd and Soled Ltd, two<br />

companies <strong>which</strong> were already engaged<br />

in <strong>the</strong> production of Anthurium flowers and<br />

Orchids for <strong>the</strong> last 25 years.<br />

The experience has been very successful<br />

and Agrex has acquired over <strong>the</strong> years a<br />

worldwide reputation in <strong>the</strong> Anthurium<br />

fresh cut flower business as a result of<br />

its well thought marketing approach, its<br />

quality and its reliability.<br />

The company owns today an extended<br />

portfolio of customers on both local<br />

and foreign markets. About 300,000<br />

Anthurium stems are sold every year on<br />

<strong>the</strong> local market and around 1,000,000 are<br />

exported to wholesale d<strong>is</strong>tributors based<br />

in 8 different countries (Italy, Japan, Hong<br />

Kong, France, USA, Canada, Dubai and<br />

Reunion Island).<br />

Thanks to its v<strong>is</strong>ion and w<strong>is</strong>e investments<br />

in <strong>the</strong> most exclusive varieties, <strong>the</strong> team<br />

has been able to develop a competitive<br />

edge and <strong>is</strong> proud to offer one of <strong>the</strong> world’s<br />

widest choice of Hybrid Anthuriums’ colors<br />

and shapes with more than 40 different<br />

varieties.<br />

Due to its rich experience in <strong>the</strong> floriculture<br />

business Agrex <strong>is</strong> now also promoting on<br />

<strong>the</strong> local market <strong>the</strong> roses produced by<br />

Savannah under <strong>the</strong> brand “Les Roseraies<br />

de Savannah”.<br />

In <strong>the</strong> same v<strong>is</strong>ion of expanding its<br />

offer, Agrex has also adv<strong>is</strong>ed <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r<br />

companies of <strong>the</strong> <strong>Agribusiness</strong> cluster<br />

to make additional investments in <strong>the</strong><br />

production of o<strong>the</strong>r species of exotic<br />

flowers as well as in foliages.<br />

indoor and Outdoor plants<br />

Savannah has put in place plants<br />

nurseries in order to respond mainly to<br />

<strong>the</strong> requirements of esp landscapers, <strong>the</strong><br />

<strong>ENL</strong> <strong>Agribusiness</strong> landscaping arm.<br />

Agrex <strong>is</strong> presently exploring <strong>the</strong> local<br />

market potential for indoor and outdoor<br />

plants and thus, opportunities for export in<br />

<strong>the</strong> gulf region will be studied.<br />

Palm tree heart<br />

The management of <strong>ENL</strong> <strong>Agribusiness</strong><br />

strongly believes in <strong>the</strong> business potential<br />

for fresh palm tree heart.<br />

Also know has “palmito” in some countries,<br />

<strong>the</strong> fresh palm tree heart <strong>is</strong> a vegetable<br />

harvested from <strong>the</strong> inner core and growing<br />

bud of certain palm trees. Th<strong>is</strong> <strong>is</strong> a very<br />

exclusive product because harvesting<br />

<strong>the</strong> palm heart kills <strong>the</strong> tree. It <strong>is</strong> a main<br />

ingredient often used in fine cu<strong>is</strong>ine<br />

restaurants. The most simple d<strong>is</strong>h made<br />

from palmito <strong>is</strong> a fresh salad also known<br />

as <strong>the</strong> Millionaires’ salad.<br />

Savannah has already grown 50,000 palm<br />

trees on its land and <strong>the</strong>se trees will arrive<br />

at maturity in a few months. Agrex <strong>is</strong> getting<br />

prepared and will soon start to market th<strong>is</strong><br />

delicacy in <strong>the</strong> restaurants and hotels<br />

around <strong>the</strong> Island.
