Fidèle à ses valeurs mais soucieux de cultiver une approche novatrice , le groupe diversifie ses activités . Ses champs accueillent des cultures variées – du macadamia à l ’ eucalyptus – tandis que certaines terres sont converties dans une toute autre optique : l ’ émergence de projets fonciers d ’ envergure , avec l ’ envie de faire grandir des vies … à commencer par celles de la région : à travers Terra Foundation , le groupe concentre aujourd ’ hui ses missions CSR autour de Pamplemousses . Près de Rs 41 millions ont été investis en dix années d ’ existence pour soutenir des projets variés dans la région , encourageant le partage d ’ expériences , l ’ acquisition de nouvelles connaissances et la prise d ’ autonomie .
“ We are here to last .” With these words , Nicolas Maigrot , CEO of the group since 2015 , sums up his desire for Terra . A wise yet ambitious approach . A major player in the North , Terra is essentially known for its sugar cane expanses on the northern edge of the island ... even if , today , its highest added value land projects and the creative bias deployed at Beau Plan are gaining ground in the Mauritian people ' s minds . As a multidisciplinary group driven by high standards as much as by passion , Terra has in recent decades begun a transition towards a sustainable model , driven by innovation and in respect of the commitments that have taken it through nearly two centuries of history .
First of all , the exploitation of sugar cane remains at the heart of its know-how . Some say this industry is over — an opinion that Terra is far from sharing . The world ' s leading producer of special sugars , this key player goes so far as to maximise the use of sugar cane , from juice to bagasse , so as not to lose anything . From this idea , combined with cutting-edge expertise , the internationally recognised New Grove rum was born ; or the Terragen thermal power plant , which has been supplying the country with energy for 20 years , part of which is green , via a solid partnership with the Central Electricity Board .
Faithful to its values , yet always looking to cultivate an innovative approach , the group is diversifying its activities . Its fields are home to a variety of crops — from macadamia to eucalyptus — while some land is being converted to a completely different approach : the emergence of large-scale land projects , with the desire to grow lives ... starting with those of the region : through Terra Foundation , the group is now concentrating its CSR missions around Pamplemousses . In ten years of existence , nearly Rs 41 million has been invested to support various projects in the region , encouraging the sharing of experiences , the acquisition of new knowledge and the empowerment of people .
At the heart of this region undergoing metamorphosis , Beau Plan . In addition to its real estate offer , the future Smart City makes no secret of its cultural ambitions — and their economic benefits for the region . Its Creative Park is already starting to make a name for itself : this hybrid cultural space adjoining l ’ Aventure du Sucre musem has hosted a series of events over the last few months , arousing a real craze — which only strengthens Terra ' s motivation to expand its vision . And confirms our belief that tomorrow is written today ...
Au cœur de cette région en pleine métamorphose , Beau Plan . Outre son offre immobilière , la future Smart City ne cache pas ses ambitions culturelles – ni leurs retombées économiques pour la région . Son Creative Park commence déjà à faire parler de lui : cet espace culturel hybride accolé au musée de l ’ Aventure du Sucre a accueilli ces derniers mois une série d ’ événements , éveillant un véritable engouement – lequel ne fait que renforcer la motivation de Terra à déployer sa vision . Et confirme notre pensée : demain s ’ écrit aujourd ’ hui …
