Central Highlands: Perfect for Alfalfa — Les Hautes Terres centrales : parfaites pour la luzerne
Madagascar's Central Highlands, stretching from Antsirabe to Fianarantsoa at elevations of 1,200-1,800 meters, offer ideal conditions for alfalfa cultivation. The region's moderate temperatures (15-25°C year-round), reliable rainfall, and fertile laterite soils support excellent alfalfa growth. Kohenoor's Sardi and KN92 varieties thrive in these highland conditions, delivering 5-7 cuts per year with crude protein levels exceeding 20%. The Central Highlands' existing agricultural infrastructure and proximity to Antananarivo's growing dairy market make alfalfa a high-value crop for Malagasy farmers.
Zebu Cattle & Livestock Nutrition — Zébus et nutrition du bétail
Madagascar is home to an estimated 10 million zebu cattle, deeply embedded in the island's culture and economy. While zebu are traditionally raised on natural pastures, supplementing their diet with high-protein alfalfa fodder dramatically improves milk production, growth rates, and overall animal health. Modern dairy operations around Antsirabe — Madagascar's dairy capital — increasingly incorporate alfalfa into feed rations. Kohenoor's seeds provide the nutritional foundation for improving zebu productivity, supporting both commercial dairy farms and smallholder livestock improvement programs across the island.
Toamasina Port & Import Logistics — Port de Toamasina et logistique d'importation
Toamasina (Tamatave) port, Madagascar's largest commercial port on the east coast, handles the majority of the island's imports. Kohenoor International ships directly to Toamasina with complete CIF pricing and all required phytosanitary certificates and customs documentation. From Toamasina, seeds are transported to the Central Highlands and distributed to agricultural zones nationwide via the RN2 highway to Antananarivo. We coordinate with experienced Malagasy freight forwarders to ensure reliable delivery and proper seed storage in tropical conditions.
