DIGEST OF AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS ? 2018

F O R E W O R D

This is the thirty fifth issue of a regular publication of Statistics Mauritius on agricultural statistics. It contains metadata on agricultural statistics and an overview of the main indicators of the sector. The digest is published annually and is designed to bring together in a single report as many series as possible on agricultural statistics. It contains information on the sugar, tea, food crop, livestock and fisheries sectors. Data showing the pattern of food consumption of the population are given in the yearly "Food Balance Sheets". Agricultural price statistics are shown in the section "Producer Price Index - Agriculture (PPI-A)". All data relate to the Island of Mauritius, unless otherwise specified. The data published cover in general the five-year period from 2014 to 2018 and are the latest available as at end of September 2019. Some of the figures are provisional and subject to revision in later issues. Figures in this issue supersede those appearing in previous ones. Historical series of main agricultural statistics can also be accessed from Statistics Mauritius website (). It is hoped that the data assembled in this digest will meet the needs of users, in particular agricultural policy makers, planners and scientists. The preparation of this report has necessitated the mobilisation of resources and the cooperation of numerous organisations, both public and private. Their assistance is gratefully acknowledged.
