Earlier Report Observations

The production of coconut oilcake in Mauritius showed considerable volatility from 2018 to 2023. Output fell sharply to 3 690 kg in 2019, a drop closely tied to an 18.5% surge in global raw material prices and the State Trading Corporation's temporary suspension of edible oil imports, which strained the supply chain for oil extraction. After a partial recovery in 2020, production dipped again in 2021 to 3 140 kg despite reported imports of coconuts to secure raw materials for the local oil industry.

The market entered a recovery phase from 2022 onward, with output climbing to 4 280 kg by 2023. This growth was significantly driven by agro-industrial firms like Agriterra developing circular economy models that repurpose oilcake and other agricultural residues into renewable energy and natural fertilizers, creating new demand for the by-product. Broader market developments, including the government's 2022 authorization of an industrial cannabis sector and evolving consumer preferences for more refined edible oils, provided additional context for the oilseed processing environment.
