Who we are
Terra is a conglomerate established in Mauritius and operating locally and regionally. Formerly known as Harel Frères, it started as a small sugar factory in 1838. Today, Terra is one of the major players in the sugar cane sector in Mauritius, managing 6,600 hectares of land in the northern part of the island, out of which some 6,000 are under agricultural use, the remaining area being the real estate portfolio. The Group has diversified its activities from an essentially sugar-based company to one with interests in energy production, alcohol production and commercial distribution, property development, and investments in construction and financial services.

During this process, they reviewed the business model and operating context for Terra’s four clusters: Cane, Brands, Power, and Property and Leisure.
