Unit 4: Primary Product Dependency: Mauritius

Morning all!

Thank you to Riz for finding this interesting article on Mauritius and the issue with relying on one main agricultural crop - sugar.

Lots in the article for application marks for Unit 4 essays. Fluctuating prices, decreasing terms of trade, primary product dependence, low value added product, poor savings ratio and small inefficient farms all contribute to difficult development conditions.

Question for discussion: Is the tourism industry big enough for them to develop based on this alone?
