Omnicane was launched in July 2009 through a strategic re-branding of Mon-Trésor-Mon-Désert Ltd, a long established sugar cane group in Mauritius which origins can be traced back to the 1850s. Its agricultural activities are centered in the South of Mauritius although Omnicane owns lands in the Central part also. MTMD was owned by various companies in time including Lonrho, Illovo Sugar Limited (1997-2001) and the holding BBHM as from 2002 to 2009. Omnicane was among the first entities to be listed on the Stock Exchange of Mauritius. Omnicane is now considered a new generation enterprise, born out the country's century old sugarcane industry. Among its new activities, Bio Ethanol, Thermal Energy, Electricity and Property Development.
