Last Updated: 2026/04/27, Madagascar, an African island country in the southwestern Indian Ocean, is the fourth largest island in the world. The peculiar baobab here has long been known to the world. Because Madagascar is made up entirely of volcanic rocks, it has also become a paradise for coffee trees. Since 1970, the planting area of Malagasy coffee has been maintained at about 200000 hectares, with an average yield of 80, 000 tons.

Madagascar, an African island country in the southwestern Indian Ocean, is the fourth largest island in the world. The peculiar baobab here has long been known to the world. Because Madagascar is made up entirely of volcanic rocks, it has also become a paradise for coffee trees.

Since 1970, the planting area of coffee in Madagascar has been maintained at about 200000 hectares, with an average yield of 80, 000 tons. In order to increase coffee production, the Malaysian government has taken the following measures: renew coffee trees, expand the area of small-grain coffee, and improve the infrastructure of coffee-producing areas.

However, due to the continuous decline in coffee prices in the international market in recent years, the planting area of Malagasy coffee has continued to decrease. According to statistics from the Malaysian Ministry of Agriculture, the planting area of Malagasy coffee is 190000 hectares, nearly 30, 000 hectares less than 20 years ago.

At present, coffee is still an important export product for horses. Malaysia produces an average of 67000 tons of coffee a year, with nearly 40000 tons for export. The important exporters of Malaysian coffee are France, Belgium and Italy, of which Malaysia's exports to France account for 17.76 percent of its total exports.

Malaysian coffee producing areas are mainly distributed in the southeast Fatufawe-Fetuvenani region and Anaranaranjiluo region, of which the former coffee production accounts for 40-45% of Malaysia's total output.

Coffee was first brought to Madagascar by the Reunion people in the 19th century. The two main types of coffee produced in Malaysia are Robusta and Arabica. Today, with the increasing globalization, the worldwide planting industry is like a whole, which is always affected by a variety of factors. Remote Madagascar is no exception.
