The western Indian Ocean islands of Madagascar, the Comoros and Réunion (see Figure 11.1) in many ways formed an exception amongst world cocoa producers. Not only were they marginal in terms of world output, but cocoa was never more than a minor local cash crop. In 1923, for example, cocoa was only the sixteenth most important agricultural product in Madagascar in terms of area of cultivation. Its 1238 hectares compared unfavourably with 30 045 hectares for coffee and 22 723 hectares for vanilla (Julien, 1926, 109)
