Tananarive is located in the north east of the island and experiences strong periods of typhoons and rain. Rice is grown there, thanks to the island's emblematic animal, the zebu.
Raffia
Raffia grows in the marshy regions of Madagascar, it is a palm known for having the longest leaves of the flora. Fibers are extracted from its leaves, which will then be dried and dyed.
Satrana: other plants, other possibilities
It is another type of palm typical of Madagascar, which can be used to make a multitude of objects. The result is smoother and shinier than raffia. The natural color is between light gray and off-white. It may have some green undertones. This fiber dyes a little less than raffia, due to its smooth appearance which absorbs less color.
