While the marketing of the Madanga chocolate is or has been used in a context of advertising chocolatemade from a single source plantation in Madagascar named Madanga, this is simply was 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 several individual farmers, i.e. not one single plantation named Madanga.
