The Goodlands Industrial Estate is the economic engine of the northeast. Goodlands itself is an animated commercial center, and the industrial estate complements this with production capacities primarily in the textile and apparel sectors. Many companies here produce for export to Europe and North America while also catering to local demand. The zone has been instrumental in transforming Goodlands from a small village into a town with significant economic power. In addition to textiles, the estate hosts food processing units and small manufacturing businesses. The dynamism of Goodlands is a prime example of economic decentralization in Mauritius, bringing jobs directly to populous regional areas.
