Sugar Syndicate Unhappy World Not Frozen

See, its Chief Executive is not happy that the rupee did not stay at the levels of a few years ago. Maybe it's because that's near to the weakest our currency has been. Who wants to accommodate a sector which has been dead for long and which accounts for about 1% of our economy? And which is now importing sugar from world-beater Brazil?

L'artik-la coumans par "... usiniers de l’industrie mère"...

Pierre ti pé dire dan l'express mem 4 banané de-cela: "Quand on dit que l’industrie sucrière ne rapporte que 3 % du produit intérieur brut (PIB), c’est vrai, mais qu’en est-t-il de ce qu’elle rapporte indirectement ?"

Si Jean Noël pa kwar dan sif CSO, li ti bizin lirr ti interviu ki Pierre Dinan ti donné fek-la: "Le sucre ne représente plus qu’environ 1 % du produit intérieur brut. Sans doute un peu plus, si l’on tient compte des effets indirects comme le transport ou l’effet revenu des coupeurs de cannes lors des bonnes campagnes"

Dans l'espace 4-an, contribution dan PIB inn 'progressé' dépi minoritaire pou vinn insignifiant. Mé zournalis ki'nn ponn sa "usiniers de l’industrie mère"-la pétett penkor compran ki zeu shougueur-inndeusstri méritt bien so sirnon "sunset industry". Malgré l'insistans Pierre lor bann leffé indirek - li tousel kwar la-dan.

Not only Sugar Syndicate is unhappy: one of the usual suspects is at it again - MEXA wants a 'benchmark'.

The process of hiring foreign labour should be tightened. We simply cannot encourage outsiders who can live on way less than us in their own countries to get into Mauritius to allow some entrepreneurs to avoid paying decent salaries to locals.

You have noticed that people who ask for depreciation are also asking for making it easier to let more foreign workers in.

The country that gave us our official language is probably creating the last nail in the coffin of our sunset indutry: a sugar tax.
