Mauritius must start goods exports for a sustained economic recovery, according to Prime Minister Pravind Kumar Jugnauth, who recently said the COVID-19 pandemic has badly affected several sectors, including textiles, tourism, financial services and technology. He said this while visiting a textile factory of Denim de L’Ile Ltd (DDI) in Rivière du Rempart.

He was satisfied that DDI uses sustainable fibres as raw materials and sustainable washing techniques, and optimises its resources by recycling its production waste, according to an official release.

In July 2004, DDI Ltd was set up by World Knits Ltd in collaboration with two Italian investors. The company is an export-oriented enterprise specialising in the manufacture of denim fabrics and garments like trousers, dresses, jackets and blazers. Its main export markets are the United Kingdom, South Africa, the United States and Europe.
