Arabica from Ethiopia arrived in Madagascar in the beginning of the 19th century and is grown at higher altitudes in the central highlands, such as the [[Antananarivo]] Province and on the northern central plateau around [[Lake Alaotra]] in the Toamasina Province.
Only about 2% Arabica are cultivated (http://www.priori.ch/das_Buch/39.htm) but is expected to increase. Additionally, there are about 50 wild coffee varieties with less caffeine contents which have not been widely commercialised{{cite web|url=[http://www.priori.ch/das_Buch/39.htm|publisher=Priory.ch|year=2009}}].
