Since 2006 Cinagra produces fine chocolate in a factory located in the outskirts of Tana, about 15 kilometres from the city centre. 20 employees work in the factory, where its production facilities meet European standards. All processed cocoa beans originate from organic cocoa plantations in the northwest of Madagascar.
Cinagra differentiates between superior cocoa beans used for export and standard cocoa beans used for the local market. All cocoa beans undergo a quality check at the factory. Thereafter the cocoa beans are roasted. After cooling down the beans are crushed in a grinding maschine.
Cinagra produces various brands of chocolate bars, such as ''Pallissandre'' with 38% cocoa, ''Eben'' with 55% cacao and ''Tsar'' which contains 63% cocoa.
