Abstract (AB)This review covers the performance of the fourteen sugar factories which operated in Mauritius during the 2000 crop season. Length of the season, cane quality, milling and boiling house performance, sugar production, sugar quality, and energy production are examined and compared with values for the 1999 season. All data have been calculated from figures supplied by the sugar factories. The 2000 crushing season was marked by the recovery from a most severe drought in 1999 when cane and sugar production represented only 67.1 per cent and 59.4 percent respectively of 1998 values.
