Earlier Report Observations

The potato market in Mauritius exhibited considerable volatility from 2018 to 2023. Starting at 28 483 tonnes, the market volume fell by 16% in 2019 to 23 785 tonnes, then entered a phase of gradual recovery, growing to 29 789 tonnes by 2022—the highest point in the period—before contracting sharply by 23% to 23 070 tonnes in 2023.

Overall, the market ended the six-year period 19% smaller than it began. The recovery from 2020 to 2022 added 21% to the market size, but the severe drop in 2023 erased most of those gains, resulting in a net decline over the full timeframe.
