While the marketing of the Madanga chocolate has been used in a context of advertising chocolatemade from a single source plantation in Madagascar named Madanga, this 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 several individual farmers, i.e. not one single plantation named Madanga. 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 [http://de.chclt.net/rausch-schokoladen-falsch-deklariert Chclt.net blog] 30 Nov 2012). However, all cocoa used in Rausch's Madanga product line has been confirmed by Rausch to originate from Madagascar. Additional information about the Madanga project in Madagascar on Rausch's homepage can be found at [http://www.rausch-schokolade.com/plantagenschokolade/madanga.html rausch-schokolade.com/plantagenschokolade/madanga.html].
