Earlier Report Observations

The market for coconuts, Brazil nuts and cashews in Mauritius showed notable fluctuations between 2018 and 2023. After reaching 2 677 t in 2019, the total market volume declined to 2 097 t in 2021, partially recovered to 2 455 t in 2022, then fell sharply to 1 777 t in 2023. Domestic production remained steady at 1 200 t through 2022 before dipping to 1 128 t, while import volumes varied significantly, being the primary driver of market size changes.

In 2023, the local market relied on imports of coconuts from Rodrigues, outer islands, and India to secure supply for cultural events like Maha Shivratree, helping to avoid shortages. Mauritius also depended on imports of cashew nuts and related products from sources like Brazil and India. By 2024, the global raw cashew market entered a period of under-supply, putting pressure on prices and potentially affecting import availability for the country.
