The industry is currently focusing on transformation and high value addition and is engaged in developing a regional supply chain to serve the African Continent.<\/p><p><br \/>Mauritius is taking full advantage of its <strong>preferential market access<\/strong> to nearly <strong>70%<\/strong> of the world to export a wide range of products. We export mainly to EU, USA and South Africa. A number of incentives have been devised to attract potential investors and position Mauritius as a Focal Point in the region and countries where Mauritius enjoys preferential market access. These incentives include a low tax regime, duty-free import and export of raw materials and 8-year tax holiday under the High-tech Scheme.<\/p><p><br \/>To discover Mauritian products<strong>

class=\"uk-accordion-content\">\n                    <p>With over 50 years of sustained growth and recognised as the driving force of Mauritius\u2019 industrialisation, the Textile &amp; Apparel (T&amp;A) industry remains a pillar of the Mauritian economy. In 2024, total T&amp;A exports reached MUR 20.0 billion, reaffirming the sector\u2019s central role in national manufacturing and export performance.<\/p>\n<p>Mauritius is today a key exporter of textile and apparel in Sub-Saharan Africa, backed by a unique combination of technical expertise, product innovation and ethical manufacturing.<\/p>\n<p>With an extensive network of trade agreements, Mauritius enjoys over 70% preferential market access, offering Mauritian T&amp;A products a significant preferential margin ranging from 25% to 44.1% in major export destinations. A highly competitive fiscal regime of 3% corporate tax on profits derived from exports, coupled with investment rebates and incentives, further strengthens the country\u2019s attractiveness as a preferred destination for textile and apparel investment.<\/p>\n<p>Mauritian manufacturers have built a reputation as reliable suppliers of premium-quality apparel to world-renowned fashion retailers and brands such as Armani, Tommy Hilfiger, Guess, Calvin Klein, Woolworths, Truworths, Cape Union Mart, Levi\u2019s and Fabiani, among many others. The industry\u2019s product portfolio is broad and sophisticated, spanning T-shirts, denim, shirts, trousers, high-end suits, sportswear, childrenswear, pullovers, uniforms, beachwear, and lingerie.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past five decades, the sector has moved from basic Cut-Make (CM) operations to Full Package Production, supported by vertically integrated supply chains. Mauritian manufacturers are deeply committed to responsible and sustainable production, complying with internationally recognised certifications and standards including GOTS, OEKO-TEX, Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals (ZDHC), REACH, SMETA, the Sustainable Apparel Coalition (SAC) and the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).<\/p>\n\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                <li class=\"\">\n                    <a class=\"uk-accordion-title\" href=\"\">Investment Opportunities<\/a>\n                    <div class=\"uk-accordion-content\">\n                    <ul>\n<li>Spinning and weaving<\/li>\n<li>High-end sustainable garment production<\/li>\n<li>Seamless garments<\/li>\n<li>Fabric production (weaving and knitting)<\/li>\n<li>Technical &amp; Medical textiles<\/li>\n<li>Non-woven such as sanitary towels and baby diapers<\/li>\n<li>Other garments and non-garments (Medtech, Geotech, etc)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                <\/ul>\n                        <\/li>\n                        <li>\n                            <ul uk-accordion=\"\" class=\"uk-accordion\">\n                <li class=\"uk-open\">\n                    <a class=\"uk-accordion-title\" href=\"\">Alcoholic Beverages <\/a>\n                    <div class=\"uk-accordion-content\">\n                    <p>Mauritius stands out as a strong global player in beverages segment. The Island natural uniqueness results into exotic beverages and alcoholic drinks. Producers\u2019 inspirations and recipes have transformed into novel drinks flavors such as moringa juice, non-alcoholic cocktails and herbal tea infusions.<\/p>\n<p>Mauritius produces both Agricultural Rums (distilled from fresh-cut sugar cane juice) &amp; Traditional Rums (molasses-based rums). With such a rich seam of history and heritage to draw on, Mauritian spirits are well placed to capitalize on this trend, offering a broad range of styles and flavours. Mauritius makes some truly exceptional rums, but where it stands out from its competitors, is in its infusions. The island distillers and bottlers have innovated to bring a large spirits segment, ranging from Cane-Vodka, tropical fruits Lychee and Victoria Pineapple wines to Beer.<\/p>\n<p>In line with the vision of graduating the offering of the classic Mauritian Rums to a new level of sophistication, a large variety of infused rums has been introduced, which uses the island\u2019s local fruits and spices, such as Queen Victoria pineapples, vanilla beans, coffee, ginger, chillies, coconut and passion fruits. As opposed to tasting like a sweet syrup, the outcome is a flavoursome, palatable spirit with hints of coffee, roasted vanilla, spicy chilli and tart passion fruit.<\/p>\n<p>Rum being part of Mauritius\u2019 cultural heritage has been to reach out among global drink lovers. Today, we have a range of over 35 rums performing exceptionally in international tasting competitions such as London Spirits Competition, China Wine &amp; Spirit Awards, The Spirits Business, World Rum Awards, World Spirits Awards, German Rum Awards, Ultimate Spirits Challenge and International Wine &amp; Spirit Competition amongst others. Mauritian rums are distributed throughout Europe, Africa, US and Asia.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This sector main attributes are:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Companies: 21 companies: 6 Distillers<\/li>\n<li>Brands: +30<\/li>\n<li>Export Destinations: +20<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                <li class=\"\">\n                    <a class=\"uk-accordion-title\" href=\"\">Investment Opportunities<\/a>\n                    <div class=\"uk-accordion-content\">\n                    <ul>\n<li>Low\/Zero alcoholic drinks<\/li>\n<li>Ready-to-Drink (RTD) cocktails<\/li>\n<li>Distillery and Bottling plant<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                <\/ul>\n                        <\/li>\n                        <li>\n                            <ul uk-accordion=\"\" class=\"uk-accordion\">\n                <li class=\"uk-open\">\n                    <a class=\"uk-accordion-title\" href=\"\">Jewellery<\/a>\n                    <div class=\"uk-accordion-content\">\n                    <p>Mauritius has a long history of skilled craftsmanship in jewellery that contributed to the production of high-end jewellery for both local and international brands. Today, the Jewellery Sector represents an important segment of the country&#8217;s economy, with total exports amounting to MUR 6 billion (2023). We currently export cut and polished diamond, high-quality jewellery, as well as costume jewellery to Vietnam, France, Belgium, Switzerland, USA and Germany.<\/p>\n<p>Besides traditional gold and gemstone jewellery, local manufacturers have expanded and diversified their offerings into other types of jewellery such as silver and costume jewellery to cater for different market segments.<\/p>\n<p>Mauritius is engaged in positioning itself as a hub for manufacturing and trading of diamond and high-end jewellery products. The country has historically been a popular destination for jewellery investors mainly due to its favourable business environment, access to skilled artisans and craftsmen, duty exemption, policies on import and export of precious metals and precious stones and duty-free access to around 50% of the world\u2019s population.<\/p>\n\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                <li class=\"\">\n                    <a class=\"uk-accordion-title\" href=\"\">Business Climate<\/a>\n                    <div class=\"uk-accordion-content\">\n                    <ul>\n<li>Precious metals (gold, silver and platinum) are exempted from duties and taxes (Excise Duty, Import Duty, VAT)<\/li>\n<li>Export duties are not applicable in Mauritius<\/li>\n<li>Duty free access to around 50% of the world population<\/li>\n<li>Gold importation has been liberalized<\/li>\n<li>Regional value chain integration<\/li>\n<li>Mauritius is a member of the Kimberley Process Certification since 2003<\/li>\n<li>Regulated Assay Office equipped with gemmological and gold purity testing lab<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                <li class=\"\">\n                    <a class=\"uk-accordion-title\" href=\"\">Investment Opportunities<\/a>\n                    <div class=\"uk-accordion-content\">\n                    <ul>\n<li>Manufacturing of high-end and luxury jewellery products<\/li>\n<li>Cutting and polishing of precious and semi-precious stones<\/li>\n<li>Manufacturing of costume jewellery<\/li>\n<li>Precious metal refining<\/li>\n<li>Vaulting services<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                <\/ul>\n                        <\/li>\n                        <li>\n                            <ul uk-accordion=\"\" class=\"uk-accordion\">\n                <li class=\"uk-open\">\n                    <a class=\"uk-accordion-title\" href=\"\">Light Engineering<\/a>\n                    <div class=\"uk-accordion-content\">\n                    <p>With an employment of around <strong>13,500 <\/strong>persons, that represents\u00a0<strong>22%<\/strong>\u00a0of total jobs generated in the manufacturing industry, the Light Engineering cluster exported to the tune of\u00a0<strong>MUR 17 Bn in 2023<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>This cluster remains the engine of the industrial sector as it generates both primary and secondary supplies for the local and regional markets.
