Notes
Madagascar has started to produce spiruline from the alga Spirulina, which is rich in plant proteins and is used as a food additive. Initial production levels are modest, but by the end of 2000 are expected to reach 50 tonnes of powdered spiruline. It is produced industrially at a plant in Tulear, in the south-west of the island. All reports are of a very high quality product, able to command a price twice that charged for Chinese spiruline, the best known product on the market to date. Marchés tropicaux, 2029
