History

Isis Sugar Central Mill was founded in 1896 as an alternative to other sugar mills in the region operated by CSR Limited. Isis was founded as a company limited by guarantee and remains wholly owned by its shareholders, which is limited to farmers who supply sugar cane to the mill.

In 2012 the mill had its largest ever season, with 1,505,400 tonnes of cane crushed in a single season for the production of 223,874 tonnes of raw sugar.

In 2019 the mill owners had approve a proposal from a Pakistani group called Almoiz, in which Almoiz was to hold a majority of the shares in the mill and was to invest $35 million for upgrades of the mill. By 3 August 2020 Almoiz group had been unable to get the backing of the Bank of Pakistan, so the deal did not proceed. [2]

The Colonial Sugar Refining Company (CSR) began operations in Fiji in 1880 and until it ceased operations in 1973, had a considerable influence on the political and economic life of Fiji. Prior to its expansion to Fiji, the CSR was operating Sugar Refineries in Melbourne and Auckland. The decision to enter into the production of raw sugar and sugar cane plantation was due to the Company's desire to shield itself from fluctuations in the price of raw sugar needed to run its refining operations. In May 1880 Fiji's Colonial Secretary John Bates Thurston persuaded the Colonial Sugar Refining Company to extend their operations into Fiji by making available 2,000 acres (8 km²) of land to establish plantations.
