Mauritius - Feasibility Studies –Mauritius Special Agro-Industrial Processing Zone Project

The Feasibility Studies - Special Agro Industrial Processing Zone Project aims to support the development of inclusive and sustainable Agro Industrial development in Mauritius. The proposed study will also assess the feasibility of integrating producers from neighboring African countries to provide raw materials for the agro industrial park as well as upgrade local production towards high tech and climate proof agriculture to improve productivity and national food self-sufficiency. The feasibility study will analyze and make recommendations on critical issues identified along the priority value chains as well as provide information on the strategy for the full integration of private sector investments (including SMEs, farmers, processing, logistics, etc.) in the upstream and downstream of the agricultural sector. The proposal has three objective components which will be implemented simultaneously: (i) Undertake Full Feasibility Study and Master Plans for the Mauritius Regional Agro Industrial Processing Zone (ii) Present Full Feasibility Reports and Master Plans to Government and Stakeholders and (iii) Project coordination and management.
