Mauritius targets China's market after signing a Free Trade Agreement, raising sugar exports.
Mauritius, nicknamed "Sweet Island" for its sugar cane cultivation, aims to revitalize its struggling sugar industry by targeting China's market after a Free Trade Agreement was signed in January 2021. Cooperation between the two countries led to a specific tariff-rate quota for Mauritian sugar, resulting in a significant increase in exports to China. To differentiate itself from global suppliers, Mauritius focuses on the quality of its sugar and aims to establish a long-term position in niche markets in China.
