Madagascar’s export landscape is evolving rapidly, powered by world-class agricultural products and rising investor confidence in the island’s agribusiness potential. Long recognised as the world’s top vanilla producer, supplying around 80% of global volumes in 2022, the country continues to build on its expertise in high-value, globally sought-after crops.
The island is also a dominant player in international spice markets. In 2023, Madagascar accounted for nearly half of global unground clove exports. Meanwhile, coconut products from firms such as Soavoanio are expanding the country’s footprint in food, cosmetics, and wellness industries. Premium cacao and specialty coffee from Madagascar’s rich terroirs are increasingly demanded by chocolate makers and roasters seeking rare, traceable origins.
Madagascar is also venturing into luxury gastronomy with remarkable success. Acipenser Farm, the first sturgeon operation in Africa and producer of Rova and Kasnodar caviar has redefined expectations. This farm proves what’s possible in Madagascar, where vision, innovation, and nature come together to produce excellence.
With growing private-sector leadership, diversified value chains, and a reputation for authenticity, Madagascar is poised to scale its agribusiness exports and strengthen its position as a unique, premium supplier to international markets.
