Want to taste the real chocolate? Madagascar is the right place to see how cocoa is growing, being harvested and turned into chocolate. The crops are gathered twice a year: at the beginning of the rainy season from October through November and also at the beginning of the dry season from May through June.

Madagascar produces less than 0,5% of the international cocoa. Although it is not much, the cocoa is praised for its exceptional quality.
