attested production, closed FAOSTAT seriesDocumentary reference pointDocumentary reference point: production attested by a source, with a closed FAOSTAT series and no ICO membership. Region: Africa.
Mauritius produces coffee without appearing in the recent FAOSTAT green coffee series or among the ICO members. This page puts it on the map with the source that attests to it, without inventing an industry for it.
Production is reported only by the press or by a single actor: this reference point says that something exists, not how much.

History
This reference point has no series: it exists only through the source cited below.
Today
FAOSTAT green coffee: 40 t in 1987 and 50 t in 1989 (official figures, flag A), no value afterwards. Today, only one estate is attested: a travel article (La Gazette, not opened, research summary) gives the Chamarel plantation as 12 ha for 3 to 5 t a year; the agro-industrial production tables of the Mauritius Chamber of Agriculture (2021, 2022) do not count coffee. Mauritius appears only among the observers invited to the 2007 ICO session.

- No annual series: impossible to say whether production is rising or falling.
- The source often describes a single farm or association, not a whole territory.
