Earlier Report Observations

The frozen potatoes market in Mauritius showed considerable volatility in volume between 2018 and 2023. Following a stable period around 840 tons, consumption fell markedly to 733 tons in 2020. A recovery began in 2021, culminating in a sharp expansion to over 1,036 tons in 2022. This peak was short-lived, as the market contracted dramatically to just 502 tons in the following year.

Market movements were closely tied to import volumes, which formed the bulk of supply. Imports swung from a high of 541 tons in 2022 down to 125 tons in 2023, directly driving the overall market trend. Domestic production also contributed to the volatility, rising to 495 tons in 2022 before falling back to 377 tons, with minimal export activity leaving total market size dependent on these two components.
