The Malagasy Story
The word “Malagasy” means of, or from Madagascar and is the name chosen to represent our company. We think it captures the spirit of what we are about perfectly, we think you'll like it too.
Madagascar is an island in the Indian Ocean. Widely known as “The Red Island”, Madagascar is now sometimes referred to as “The Island Continent”, because, despite having a population less than that of London, it is about eight times the size of England. Madagascar is mainly mountain plateau, with temperate micro-climates ideally suited to preserving gourmet flavours, like rich Criollo, rare Arabica, unique Honeys, unusual Herbs, exotic Spices and the much sought after Sahambavy Tea.

Malagasy™ flavours feed a mouthwatering melting pot of French, Chinese, Indian, African and Arabian cuisines. This enables us to bring you fresh culinary delights, from a lush and largely undiscovered country. All our Malagasy™ produce is equitably-traded. Equitably-traded means that we share equitably the added value we generate. We earn international currency and use it to equip Malagasy producers with knowhow and equipment with which to harvest, select and package exciting new flavours, to suit your customers’ tastes and to meet your hygiene requirements and standards.

Members of the Academy of Culinary Arts have confirmed the novelty of the produce we offer. But your customers are interested not only in novelty. They are interested in Malagasy™ products because they are grown naturally, in clean air, on clean soils, using pure water.

Over the next 10 years, by equipping Malagasy producers with the latest technology, we will raise the incomes of the rural families of Madagascar. Not only will this free them from poverty, it will enable them to preserve for us the unique ecosystems, habitat and wildlife of “The Red Island”.

Malagasy Ltd is the world’s first Equitrade™ company. That means that Malagasy Ltd will not sell cash crops from Madagascar at pence per kilogram, so that other companies can sell them at pounds per kilogram, in international markets. We do not think that is equitable.

Because Malagasy grow things naturally, then, naturally, we are growing too! We are seeking partners who not only share our passion for good food and rare flavours, but who also want a fair deal for the irrepressible people of Madagascar.
