Innumerable zebu carts can be seen in and around the town Ambanja, the region, and across Madagascar.
One typical workshop, run by Mr Theodore, <!-- 032 49 341 77)--> can be found in the town centre. His workshop employs six skilled woood workers and welders assembling about 50 carts per year, all in the same design and model. Everything is done manually without electricity. A cart takes about a week to produce and costs 1,800,000 (about USD 400).
These humble two-wheeled vehicles are as relevant today as they were hundreds of years ago providing an indispensable transport for farmers distributing their agricultural crops. The tradition of these eco-friendly vehicles, keeps cars and air-pollution to a minimum.
