Madagascar company search, check & credit report

Madagascar is a substantial exporter of vanilla, lychees, textiles, cocoa, cobalt and nickel, and a unique island economy with a distinctive corporate framework. Companies are registered with the Registre du Commerce et des Sociétés (RCS) administered by the EDBM (Economic Development Board of Madagascar), and the tax authority issues the NIF. Vanilla-sector counterparties (Madagascar produces around 80% of the world's vanilla) warrant particular attention given the sector's specific dynamics.

What our Madagascar company report includes

Why verify a Malagasy company?

Madagascar's economic profile combines a substantial vanilla sector (with its specific regulatory framework and exporter agrément regime), an apparel export sector whose AGOA preferences are now precarious (AGOA lapsed in September 2025, reauthorised only through end-2026, with US tariffs applying regardless), and emerging mining activity. The RCS register confirms incorporation; the value of an investigated report concentrates on sector-specific licensing (particularly for vanilla and mining), beneficial-ownership confirmation, and on-the-ground verification of trading premises.
