HoReCa & Foodservice Market - Mauritius

Introdução

Mauritius has a resident population of about 1.26 million and a diversified economy spanning tourism, financial services, manufacturing and agriculture. Foodservice demand is anchored by tourism: roughly 1.44 million tourist arrivals in 2025, up 3.9% on the 1.38 million of 2024, with tourism receipts expected to exceed MUR 100 billion, about US$2.15 billion. Visitors outnumber residents, which is the single most important fact about this market. That visitor base is served by a mature hotel and restaurant sector operating to international standards, which expects imported range as a matter of course since the island produces very little of what those kitchens use. For a foreign supplier the market is small in absolute volume but unusually accessible in specification terms, and the decision concentrates on a limited number of importers. This study covers market size and structure, profiles those importers and distributors, explains the access requirements and documentation for foreign suppliers, identifies the categories with the strongest prospects, and provides a directory of Mauritian importers and foodservice distribution partners.
