In the January 2010 Agriculture News Update it was asserted in the comment that ‘Illovo’s strategic alliance with British Sugar (via Associated British Foods) and the strategic partnership established between the Mauritian sugar sector and Nordzucker need to be seen in this light’. This should have read, within its fuller context: ‘It is clear … that the marketing arrangements for ACP sugar are becoming increasingly complex. How the producers from individual ACP sugar-exporting countries position themselves in the coming years, in response to the changing routes to market that are opening up in the EU, will be a critical factor in determining the long-term future of individual ACP sugar sectors. Illovo’s strategic alliance with British Sugar (via Associated British Foods) and the strategic partnership established between the Mauritian sugar sector and Suedzucker need to be seen in this light’.
