Why Mauritius?
Over the last decade, it has engaged in an ambitious program to develop sea-related economic activities through its Ocean Economy Programme. The launching of the Seafood Hub in 2006 saw the development of facilities for trading, transshipment, storage and warehousing, processing, distribution and re-export of fresh, chilled and frozen raw as well as value-added seafood products.
Fish products exported from Mauritius include canned tuna, pre-cooked vacuum packed tuna loins, frozen tuna loins and steaks, frozen fish fillets, fresh chilled whole fish or fish fillets, salted fish, fish oil and fish meal. Mauritian seafood companies have a yearly processing and canning capacity of 100,000 tons. Mauritius offers high value-added seafood processing that complies with European Union (EU) Regulations, Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) and British Retail Consortium (BRC) standards.
