(Ecofin Agency) - Yesterday, the Moroccan sugar company Cosumar announced that it acquired a 55% stake in Compagnie maroco-guinéenne de sucre (COMAGUIS).

The transaction whose amount has not been revealed, makes the Moroccan company, the major stakeholder of COMAGUIS along with the Guinean company SOGECILE which will now own 45% stake in the company.
