This Act amends the Sugar Industry Efficiency Act 2001 in various sections so as to, among other things, to: (a) extend incentives presently applicable; (b) extend the definition of “métayer” to include a person who, at the commencement of this Act, has been cultivating cane on land leased from the planter for a consecutive period of three crop cycles; (c) make better provision to prevent speculation on agricultural land by including agricultural morcellements in the definition of “agricultural land” and reviewing the minimum plot size for subdivision of land for agricultural purposes; (d) provide that land has to be developed within five years of the issue of a Land Conversion Permit. It also deletes the words “Mauritius Sugar Authority” wherever they appear and replaces them by the words “Mauritius Cane Industry Authority” and makes a consequential amendment to the Sugar Insurance Fund Act 1974.
