Mauritius has been an important apparel exporter for a couple of decades specially the times when the tiny country had a few denim mills including those of Arvind , Novel etc and a large number of garment manufacturers and exporters who took the advantage of duty free access to EU . However, over a period of time, as labour costs rose and as it became more difficult to meet environmental norms in the island, many of the exporters moved away or closed. However, some large ones still remain and continue to make decent quantities of apparel including jeans for the Europe and other markets. We analyse in this report on what has happened over the last 3 years in terms of jeans exports to EU from this beautiful country.
