Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2020, the linseed oil market in Mauritius was influenced by the resilience of local producers who adapted to international standards despite market opening, supporting domestic output. A temporary surge in demand for edible oils during cultural events like Diwali in 2020 contributed to market growth, with volume reaching 29 032 kg.

In 2021, the market experienced a sharp expansion to 46 536 kg, primarily due to government-induced factors. The State Trading Corporation launched the subsidized Smatch oil brand for low-income consumers, while the imposition of rationing in March triggered panic buying and supply shortages, driving up overall consumption and imports.

The market contracted to 18 724 kg in 2022 as a spike in global raw material prices raised local oil costs by 18.5%, dampening demand. Consumer preferences also shifted toward more refined oils. By 2023, a decline in international feedstock prices allowed for retail price reductions, facilitating a market recovery to 26 415 kg.
