Sugar Insurance Fund Board

Violent cyclones in 1945 precipitated events. Action at governmental level in London and in Mauritius, and at the Chamber of Agriculture led to Ordinance no. 53 of 1946 with the formal establishment in October of that year of a Cyclone and Drought Insurance Fund. Sugar Insurance became compulsory, covering all cane planters and millers
