Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for prepared or preserved beef and offal in Mauritius stood at 1 286.7 t in 2018, then contracted over the next two years to 1 076.9 t by 2020. A modest rebound occurred in 2021, lifting the market to 1 097.9 t, supported by an increase in local beef production which provided more raw material for processing.

Market volume expanded again in 2022, reaching 1 138.8 t. However, a sharp decline followed in 2023, with the market falling to 851.3 t. This drop was driven by a significant decrease in local beef output, which limited the supply for preserved meat, and a concurrent rise in chicken consumption as consumers shifted to more affordable protein options.

In 2024, early data indicated a continued rise in local beef production and a substantial increase in overall food imports, highlighting Mauritius's ongoing reliance on foreign supply and evolving consumer preferences for fresh and organic products.
