==> picture [135 x 50] intentionally omitted <==
Madagascar has produced benchmark quality graphite for over 100 years due to a high proportion of high purity, large flake, premium quality crystalline graphite, low operating costs and well developed export infrastructure.
Madagascar is an island country in the Indian Ocean, off the coast of Southeast Africa, and has been a democracy since 1960. It is governed under a French legal system with Hery Rajaonarimampianina as President. It has a population of approximately 24 million and an estimated 2016 GDP of $9.2 billion USD.
