Mauritius has a high level of specialization in Other Animals (293), Non-Retail Carded Wool Yarn (282), Processed Fish (114), Other Clocks and Watches (102), and Vanilla (83.9). Specialization is measured using RCA, an index that takes the ratio between Mauritius observed and expected exports in each product.
The highest complexity exports of Mauritius according to the product complexity index (PCI) are Esters of other inorganic acids of non-metals (other than of hydrogen halides) and their salts, their halogenated, sulphonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives (1.92), Glass; drawn glass and blown glass, in sheets, whether or not having an absorbent, reflecting or non-reflecting layer, but not otherwise worked (1.81), Textile machinery; spinning, doubling, twisting machines, textile reeling or winding machines and machines for preparing textile yarns for use on machines of heading no. 8446 and 8447 (1.52), Clock or watch parts; n.e.c. in chapter 91 (1.3), and Insulating fittings; for electrical machines, appliances, equipment, excluding insulators of heading no. 8546, electrical conduit tubing and joints therefore (1.15). PCI measures the knowledge intensity of a product by considering the knowledge intensity of its exporters.
The top export opportunities for Mauritius according to the relatedness index, were Jute Woven Fabric (0.25), Knit Men's Coats (0.24), Crustaceans (0.24), Cassava (0.24), and Packing Bags (0.24). Relatedness measures the distance between a country's current exports and each product. The barchart show only products that Mauritius is not specialized in.
The product space is a network connecting products that are likely to be co-exported. The product space can be used to predict future exports, since countries are more likely to start exporting products that are related to current exports. Relatedness measures the distance between a product, and all of the products a country currently specializes in.
The Complexity-Relatedness diagram compares the risk vs strategic value of a country's potential export oppotunities. Relatedness is predictive of the probability that a country increases its exports in a product. Complexity, is associated with higher levels of income, economic growth, less income inequality, and lower greenhouse emissions.
