Rogers and Company Limited has been an innovative contributor to the development of the Mauritian economy since 1899. Over more than a century, its pioneering spirit has been key in exploring new opportunities for the country, especially through its active participation in founding the national carrier, Air Mauritius, and via the setting up of the leading hotel group on the island, Beachcomber Hotels.

Following the world wide rebranding strategy of the group, Courts revolutionised the retailing business in the country with the introduction of hire purchase facilities on a mass scale. The length of the repayment period was longer than that offered by any other companies then and consequently the amount of the monthly instalments was much lower and more affordable. Such payment options offered by Courts created a wave of dynamism in the economy and enabled many Mauritian household (especially low income earners) to acquire goods which they could not afford to pay cash.

Founded more than four decades ago, the Food & Allied Group of Companies has become a major player in the Mauritian economy over the years. The group now counts about thirty companies in Mauritius and the region and employs more than 3,000 people.

A pioneer in the poultry industry in the sixties, the group has since then diversified into food distribution and marketing, flour milling, dairy processing, fruit and vegetable canning, KFC franchises, hotels and IT services among others.

The main activities of this Ministry revolve around formulating policies in the energy, water and waste water sectors and the establishment of a responsive legal framework to govern the development of these sectors.

The Ministry also ensures that the necessary dynamism is created for services offered by the various organisations falling under its purview to be delivered in the best interests of the public.
