Earlier Report Observations

The market for fresh or chilled duck meat in Mauritius is heavily reliant on imports, as domestic production has remained stable at around 38–39 t annually. Local production is centered at facilities like the Souillac plant, where duck products including foie gras are processed under the Terracine Foie Gras brand through a strategic partnership between Inicia and Union groups. Duck farming is favored during winter due to climatic conditions, with equipped facilities maintaining constant temperatures for animal health.

Market volume fluctuated significantly from 2018 to 2023, driven primarily by changes in import levels. After reaching 203.8 t in 2019, the market contracted sharply to 92 t in 2020, then recovered to 124.4 t by 2022 before dropping again to 86.7 t in 2023. Domestic production showed no major shifts throughout this period.

Consumer preferences in Mauritius include traditional preservation methods such as confit, with duck products marketed fresh, frozen, or salted for confit, and advice on preparation circulated in local media. These factors support steady local consumption patterns alongside import volatility.
