From a lake high in Madagascar, Africa's own caviar

MANTASOA - Madagascar, renowned for its unique wildlife and vanilla production, has a new claim to fame - the island nation is Africa's first and only source of caviar.

"But we took the time to prove that this is serious. Madagascar caviar is now the only caviar produced in Africa and the Indian Ocean." The sturgeon that produce unfertilised caviar roe are kept in Lake Mantasoa, perched at an altitude of 1,400 metres east of the capital Antananarivo."Caviar professionals have come from abroad," said Ianja Rajaobelina, now assistant director of the production plant, which employs 300 people. "I had to learn everything on the job."
