Abstract (AB)This review covers the performance of the fourteen sugar factories which operated in Mauritius during the 2001 season. Length of season, cane quality, milling work, boiling house performance, sugar production, sugar quality and energy production are examined and compared with values for the 2000 season (bracketed). All parameters were calculated from data supplied by the sugar factories. The 2001 crop was the best of the last decade as both cane and sugar production were the highest since 1987. This was due to favourable weather, with an absence of cyclones and droughts. The island average overall recovery (87.8) was the second highest in Mauritian history, slightly lower than that in 2000 (88.2). [FRENCH: La performance des quatorze sucreries en opération pendant la campagne 2001 est analysée. Plusieurs aspects, telles la durée de la campagne, la qualité de la canne et du sucre, l'efficience des usines et la production d'énergie électrique ont été pris en considération. La campagne 2001 a été la meilleure de la dernière décennie avec la production de canne et de sucre la plus élevée depuis 1987. Cette performance est attribuée aux conditions climatiques favorables qui ont prévalu cette année, qui de plus n'a subi ni cyclone, ni sécheresse. La moyenne de recouvrement total de l'île (87.8) est la deuxième plus élevée de l'histoire de Maurice, légèrement inférieure à celle obtenue en 2000 (88.2).]
