Imports Of Jeans Into EU From Mauritius For The Period From 2014 To 2017

Mauritius used to be a great supplier of jeans to Europe not long ago. However, over a period of time, the country has lost much of its charm as an exporter even though it enjoys duty free status to EU. This was mainly because of increased labor costs and also the tough environment regulations of the govt. The country seems to have lost the game where the apparel exports are concerned. However, there might be a ray of hope for the country with new sustainable technologies coming up in denim washing. It remains to be seen how the country can take them up.
