Deal #1454

Failed jatropha cultivation was replaced with maize for animal feed and geranium for essential oil production. In the areas of Satrokala, Andiolava, and Ambatolahy, Tozzi Green cultivates a mix of food and industrial crops. These include maize, sorghum, cassava, peanut, bambara groundnut, and soybean for local consumption, as well as geranium for essential oil production and jatropha for biofuel. The company also implements agroforestry plots with species like moringa and mulberry, intercropped with food crops, as part of its land restoration and carbon offset strategies. In 2019, Tozzi Green was primarily cultivating maize (4,085 ha), followed by cover crops such as legumes (2,039 ha), geranium for essential oil (93.6 ha), soybeans (68 ha), jatropha (33 ha), eucalyptus and reforestation (18.31 ha), and aromatic herbs (1.03 ha)​.

The industrial distillery is active every 4 months and can extract up to 10 tonnes of plants to essential oil per day.
