Revision as of 14:10, 3 December 2012
Madanga is a chocolade brand with 39% cocoa from Madagascar and is one of several chocolates in the Plantagen series made by the Rausch chocolate company in Germany.
While the marketing of the Madanga chocolate is or has been used in a context of advertising chocolate made from a single source plantation in Madagascar named Madanga, this is simply fictional marketing. Madanga is the name of a project that supports, together with Rausch and the Malagasy Government, a farmers cooperative made up of serveral individual farmers, i.e. not one single plantation named Madanga.
However, Rausch confirmed to German media in November 2012 that the cocoa produced as part of the Madanga project does not fully meet the demand for the Madanga production (see Chclt.net blog 30 Nov 2012). Therefore, not all cocoa used in the Madanga product is likely to even come from Madagascar.
