About Madagascar

Madagascar is an island nation located over 500 km away from the coast of East Africa. The country is home to over 25 million people, in addition to unique landscapes and countless endemic species. It is the most biodiverse country on earth, with over 12 thousand unique plants, and animals like lemurs or fossas. However, due to the countries’ isolation, its population has suffered incredibly and remains one of the poorest countries in the world. Majority of the population still lives under the poverty line. Furthermore, corruption and political instability have further hurt the country. 

Why conduct market research

Several sectors are poised for significant growth in the future, such as textile production and manufacturing, thanks to skilled workers and competitive wages. Your business would also benefit from low startup costs and good infrastructure in major cities of the country. 

However, Madagascar remains an attractive location for investment. It is at the forefront of some very globally demanded products. For example, it is the leading producer of vanilla. It is also an important exporter of sugar, coffee, and minerals such as gemstones. It is also home to unique industries: it is the only country that produces caviar in Africa.

However, painting an accurate picture of its consumer base, can prove difficult due to evident differences in habits and trends between coastal and highland populations.
