The official visit to Madagascar by Michel Arrion, executive director of the International Cocoa Organization (ICCO), comes at a critical moment for the cocoa sector. Beyond the diplomatic significance of this presence, it reflects the determination to take Malagasy cocoa to the next level: moving from international recognition of its quality to genuine value creation, benefiting the entire chain, and first and foremost the producers. This visit will notably be marked by the signing of the International Cocoa Agreement 2026. For Madagascar, the stakes are particularly high as Annex C of the agreement recognizes the country as the only African nation where 100% of cocoa bean exports are classified as "fine or flavor cocoa." A distinction that represents a considerable commercial advantage in a global market where origin, quality, and traceability are increasingly important. Being recognized as a fine cocoa producer is not, however, a guarantee of prosperity for the sector on its own. The real question now is how this Malagasy singularity can translate into additional economic value. Madagascar's cocoa benefits from a reputation linked to its organoleptic characteristics and its origin. But this reputation must be convertible into better remuneration for the exported product and, above all, into an increase in the share of value going to producers. This is likely where one of the main challenges of the new cooperation between Madagascar and the ICCO lies. International recognition must not remain an institutional distinction or a mention in an agreement. It must become a lever for commercial differentiation. In other words, "fine cocoa from Madagascar" must be better identified, sought after, and paid for as such on international markets. A sector that truly feeds the economy.
