Fibre crop production refers to the annual agricultural production output of crops primarily cultivated for obtaining natural fibres used in textiles, ropes, paper, and other industrial applications.
Mauritius Fibre Crop Production was 0.0879 Thousand Tonnes in 2024, down 0.2% on 2023. Mauritius’s fibre crop production indicator represents the annual agricultural production output of crops cultivated for obtaining natural fibres used in industrial, commercial, and traditional applications. The indicator measures the quantity of fibre crops produced within Mauritius during the selected period and provides insights into the country’s agricultural contribution to natural fibre supply.
Mauritius Fibre Crop Production moved from 0.0916 Thousand Tonnes in 2015 to 0.0879 Thousand Tonnes in 2024 (−4.1%), an average of −0.5% a year. The series high was 0.0916 Thousand Tonnes in 2015 and the low 0.0242 Thousand Tonnes in 2021.
The gap between the series high (2015) and low (2021) is 0.0674 Thousand Tonnes. The sharpest single-year move was +265.3% in 2022.
Among the 17 countries in this dataset, Mauritius ranks 17 for 2024, behind Brazil (102.6 Thousand Tonnes) and Vietnam (96.42 Thousand Tonnes). It accounts for 0% of the global total in 2024.

Data definition
Fibre Crop Production — Fibre crop production refers to the annual agricultural production output of crops primarily cultivated for obtaining natural fibres used in textiles, ropes, paper, and other industrial applications. The indicator measures the quantity of fibre crops produced within a country or region over a specified period, reported in tonnes or metric tons. It includes major fibre-producing crops such as cotton, jute, flax, hemp, sisal, and other plant-based fibres, with production statistics reflecting agricultural cultivation, harvesting, and output levels. The data represents country-level production trends and is compiled from international agricultural databases, including FAO and national agricultural reporting systems where available.
The indicator includes the production volume of agricultural fibre crops grown for commercial, industrial, and domestic fibre extraction purposes. It covers harvested quantities of natural fibre crops such as cotton, jute, flax, hemp, sisal, kenaf, and other similar crops classified under fibre crop production. The data includes production from both large-scale commercial farming and smallholder agricultural systems, capturing annual output changes, cultivation patterns, and regional variations in fibre crop supply.
The indicator excludes synthetic fibres derived from petrochemical or industrial processes, processed textile products, yarns, fabrics, and other manufactured fibre-based goods. It does not include fibre crops grown solely for non-fibre purposes, agricultural residues, waste materials, or secondary fibre recovery from recycled sources. The data also excludes downstream processing activities such as spinning, weaving, textile manufacturing, and trade activities, focusing only on primary agricultural production of fibre crops.

The data represents country-level production trends and is compiled from international agricultural databases, including FAO and national agricultural reporting systems where available.
Fibre crop production reflects cultivation activities, harvesting practices, and the availability of raw fibre materials generated through agricultural systems.
The indicator includes natural fibre crops such as sugar-related fibre materials, cotton, sisal, hemp, flax, and other plant-based fibres where applicable. It covers harvested production from agricultural activities undertaken for commercial, industrial, or domestic fibre utilization. The data captures annual changes in production volumes, farming patterns, cultivation conditions, and the overall performance of the fibre crop sector.
The indicator excludes synthetic fibres produced through industrial chemical processes and does not include downstream products such as textiles, fabrics, yarns, clothing materials, or other manufactured fibre-based goods. It also excludes fibre processing, textile manufacturing, recycling activities, and trade-related transactions. Agricultural by-products, waste materials, and crops cultivated solely for non-fibre purposes are not included in this measurement.
Mauritius’s fibre crop production trends provide an understanding of the country’s agricultural output and changes in natural fibre availability over time. Production fluctuations may be influenced by factors including land availability, climatic conditions, agricultural practices, technological improvements, and market demand. This macro indicator focuses on the primary agricultural stage of fibre production, helping assess the country’s role in natural fibre cultivation and providing a foundation for evaluating trends in agricultural resource utilization and fibre crop supply capacity.
