Answer 3

The main crop of Mauritius is Sugarcane. Sugarcane is grown on about 90% of the cultivated land area of Mauritus and accounts for roughly 15% of its export earnings.

Answer 4

Sugar is the main crop and constitutes the principal agricultural commodity, with an annual production in 2003 of 5.2 million tonnes. Many planters with access to irrigation have diversified from sugar cane to food crops and vegetables, due to the expanded demand from tourism. Basic foodstuffs such as rice, flour and cereals are imported as the cultivation of such commodities is not economically viable in Mauritius.
