Maevatanana, Diana

Maevatanana is a rural municipality in northern Madagascar, 24km from Ambanja. It lies in the valley of the Sambirano River that is the main cocoa producing area of Madagascar. 60% or 7,500 to 10,000 ton yearly is provided by this area. There is an unpaved road from Ambanja to Marovato, via Benavony, Ambodimanga Ramena, Bemaneviky Ouest, Maevatanana that is hardly navigable.[1] Most of the exported cocoa is therefore transported with boats on the Sambirano River.
