Mauritius and FAO

Mauritius joined FAO in 1968. In response to the Government’s request to reorganize and strengthen the governance

framework for agricultural services, the first FAO intervention was carried out in 2011, with follow up in 2014. The aim of such

institutional changes is to improve the agriculture industry’s regulatory environment so that oversight functions are streamlined

and new technical realities reflected. An FAO National Correspondent currently oversees FAO operations in Mauritius, in

collaboration with FAO’s country representation in Madagascar.
