Location

[edit]

Bemaneviky Ouest lies on the banks of the Sambirano River, between Manongarivo Reserve and Ankarana Reserve. The valley of the Sambirano is the main cocoa producing area of Madagascar. 60% or 7500 to 10 000 ton yearly provide from this area.

There is an unpaved piste from Ambanja to Marovato, via Benavony, Ambodimanga Ramena, Bemaneviky Ouest, Maevatanana that is hardly practicable.[2] Most of the exported cocoa is therefore transported with boats on the Sambirano River.
