At both ports there are two shipping line companies: CMA-CGM and MSC.
Coffee is one of the important export goods in the country, beside vanilla and cocoa.
Robusta, being the most produced variety, grows in tropical areas at altitudes between 100m-300m along the east coast in the Vatovavy-Fitovinany region, around Tamatave, Antalaha, Andapa and the whole SAVA region as well as in the northwest, on Nosy Be, around Ambanja and along the Sambirano river.
Arabica grows at higher altitudes in the central highlands, mostly in the Antananarivo province and around Lake Alaotra on the northern central plateau.From  small farmers  without artificial fertilizers the plants are cherished and cultivated, until the mature coffee cherries are harvested singly. It has a distinct acidity and a light body.
Current Madagascar coffee production is 85% robusta and 15% arabica. Almost all crops in Madagascar are produced organically.
Coffee production in Madagascar is dominated by small, family-run farms. Arabica coffee is produced primarily in central highlands, typically in the Antananarivo province and around Lake Alaotra on the northern plateau. Coffee production in Madagascar is mostly dominated by small family-run farms, where workers pick coffee cherries with their hands to be then washed and sun-dried. Arabica coffee trees thrive at high altitudes in the central plateau and are grown mostly by small family-run farms, where coffee cheries are picked by hand, washed and sun-dried.

The Arabica cultivated is of the Red Bourbon type, this high-quality Red Bourbon Arabica coffee is produced in the highlands of central Madagascar at an altitude of over 1200 meters above sea level . This naturally processed, fully sun-dried coffee has the complex acidity and tremendous balance which is to be expected from the famous Bourbon coffee bean.The coffee is harvested in May/June of each year. 

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has been working hard to provide help for the farmers of robusta and arabica beans in Madagascar, as well as promote their successes.
