'''The Vohitrarivo farmland farm is a 40ha land area next to the village of Vohitrarivo in the SAVA region of north east in the northeast of Madagascar. Located in perhaps one of the cleanest areas of the worldregions on earth, the land has been sparsely used for small-scale farming, always without use of unatural artificial fertilisers, pesticides or fossil-fueled farming methods machinery throughout historyits existence. With a natural river running through the middle of the landproperty, the soil land is especially rich in alluvial and soil which receives seasonal deposits of fertile sediment providing ideal conditions for many types farming countless species of low-altitude tropical crops.'''

The land, which is in its third generation of Malagasy ownership, has only been used utilised for farming purposes for two generations. With and with the exception of some small-scale agricultural cultivation for personal the needs of current land caretakers from living in Vohitrarivo villageand looking after the area, regular farming has been inactive remained largely undeveloped since about year 2000, which has left the vegetation in most areas grow wild together pretty much as nature designs it.
The river Farariana runs through site is located about 25km from the land. There are no inhabited villages further upstream between the land area and the source coast of the river, making the water water perfectly safe to drink. Downstream, Farariana joins the Tananbao river and leads into the Indian Oceanand 18km inland about half-way between [[Antalaha]] and [[Sambava]].

The river Farariana runs through the land. There are no inhabited villages further upstream between the land area and the source of the river, making the water perfectly safe to drink. Downstream, Farariana joins the Tanambao river and leads into the Indian Ocean. [[File:Vohitrarivo 108.jpg|600px]] The land is family-owned by Pierre Ndrevelo (pictured above) who is a lecturer at the University of Antalaha. As he did not continue the family tradition of farming, the land is for sale. He hopes to find a buyer who will manage to property in a sustainable way that can contribute to the local community of Vohitrarivo where he grew up. <div style="max-width:600px;">{{#display_map:-14.592236, 50.049311~'''[[Vohitrarivo]]''' village~~;-14.603767, 50.055333~'''[[Lanjarivo]]'''~~;-14.611450, 50.076500~'''[[Ambodilalona]]'''~~;-14.613950, 50.119767~'''[[Ambinanifaho]]'''~~;-14.62179, 50.144556~'''[[Tananabaovao]]'''~~;-14.617717, 50.181233 ~'''[[Ambodipont Isahana]]'''~~;|centre=-14.58710526749022,50.050516772753774|type=satellite|service=google|width=auto|height=750|zoom=16|controls=pan, zoom, type, scale|copycoords=yes|icon=https://www.madacamp.com/images/madagascar/Green_marker.png|lines=-14.5885414,50.0522567:-14.5885068,50.0522544:-14.588535,50.0523356:-14.588557,50.0524374:-14.5885722,50.0525314:-14.5885836,50.0526298:-14.5885953,50.0527214:-14.5885726,50.0526609:-14.588465,50.0526801:-14.5882904,50.0526929:-14.588206,50.0527372:-14.5875402,50.0530633:-14.587502,50.0532514:-14.5874418,50.0533788:-14.587377,50.0535662:-14.5872653,50.0537311:-14.5871484,50.0539189:-14.5869859,50.0541131:-14.5863824,50.0544218:-14.5861529,50.0544763:-14.5860079,50.0544862:-14.5859007,50.0544668:-14.5857264,50.0544524:-14.5856019,50.0543946:-14.5854998,50.0543465:-14.5853836,50.0543053:-14.5852317,50.0542923:-14.5850588,50.054287:-14.5849178,50.0542576:-14.584768,50.0542555:-14.5845474,50.0541342:-14.5847533,50.053613:-14.5843127,50.0518119:-14.584296,50.052409:-14.5836993,50.0525219:-14.5835754,50.0525292:-14.5834522,50.0525514:-14.5833225,50.0525607:-14.5824003,50.0522714:-14.5823441,50.0521175:-14.5820934,50.0516701:-14.5822233,50.051503:-14.5822085,50.0514966:-14.5823884,50.0512356:-14.582768,50.0514333:-14.5823884,50.0512356:-14.5825347,50.0513065:-14.5827485,50.0514205:-14.5828186,50.0515109:-14.5829074,50.0515752:-14.583028,50.0516262:-14.5831334,50.0516303:-14.5833716,50.0515513:-14.5833091,50.0514681:-14.5832698,50.051376:-14.5832427,50.0512317:-14.5831841,50.0511583:-14.5830491,50.0509007:-14.5828375,50.0507089:-14.5827274,50.0506853:-14.5823024,50.0503941:-14.5820396,50.0501094:-14.5818599,50.0500175:-14.5825087,50.0495536:-14.582445,50.0494627:-14.5828188,50.0496122:-14.5829407,50.0495756:-14.5829383,50.0495087:-14.5829185,50.0493121:-14.5830133,50.049112:-14.5829718,50.0489151:-14.5828756,50.0488055:-14.5828438,50.0487034:-14.5828424,50.0486469:-14.5829734,50.0485508:-14.5830192,50.0484563:-14.583003,50.0481488:-14.5830898,50.0479222:-14.5830966,50.0478071:-14.5830622,50.0476009:-14.5833418,50.0472994:-14.5840416,50.0468868:-14.5839792,50.0468472:-14.5838982,50.0465836:-14.5838654,50.0464386:-14.5839258,50.0463052:-14.5840233,50.0463101:-14.5840939,50.046336:-14.5841063,50.0462638:-14.5841354,50.0461734:-14.5842484,50.0461013:-14.5843544,50.0459721:-14.5845669,50.0457092:-14.5845628,50.0456078:-14.5846474,50.0454849:-14.5847807,50.0454563:-14.5848475,50.0454014:-14.5848916,50.0453039:-14.5849397,50.0452101:-14.585014,50.045237:-14.5849522,50.0448394:-14.5850596,50.0452014:-14.5851504,50.0454861:-14.5851725,50.0455774:-14.5852168,50.0456962:-14.5852775,50.0460295:-14.5854116,50.0465159:-14.5854854,50.0470596:-14.5855446,50.0473279:-14.5855288,50.047368:-14.5859309,50.0483641:-14.5859987,50.0486012:-14.5860584,50.0487926:-14.5859492,50.0489914:-14.5859254,50.0489822:-14.5860138,50.0490348:-14.5861051,50.0490826:-14.5862036,50.0491282:-14.5862001,50.0491372:-14.5861472,50.049113:-14.5861264,50.0490783:-14.5861845,50.0491265:-14.5862594,50.0492406:-14.5863015,50.0494186:-14.5866399,50.0497702:-14.58673,50.0498171:-14.5869653,50.0499729:-14.5871834,50.0501397:-14.587266,50.0501785:-14.5873609,50.050162:-14.5874714,50.0501721:-14.5875896,50.0502215:-14.5877496,50.0502531:-14.5878688,50.0502639:-14.587977,50.0503133:-14.5880457,50.0503509:-14.5890776,50.0509706:-14.5892347,50.0507334:-14.5893014,50.0506279:-14.5894213,50.0506215:-14.589515,50.0506715:-14.5896309,50.0507343:-14.589727,50.0507461:-14.5898028,50.0508142:-14.5899472,50.0508473:-14.5900536,50.0508525:-14.5902167,50.0509591:-14.5902095,50.0510516:-14.5902074,50.051148:-14.5902054,50.0512473:-14.5902164,50.0513487:-14.5902146,50.051487:-14.5901964,50.0515935:-14.5901796,50.0516962:-14.5901526,50.0517891:-14.5901152,50.0518712:-14.5900646,50.0519527:-14.5900566,50.052044:-14.5900695,50.0520284:-14.5899904,50.0520269:-14.5899165,50.0520724:-14.5898269,50.0521061:-14.5897224,50.0521162:-14.589626,50.0521216:-14.589521,50.0521299:-14.5894144,50.0521291:-14.5892993,50.052146:-14.5891916,50.0521647:-14.5890327,50.0522748:-14.5889446,50.0523455:-14.588824,50.0523048:-14.588747,50.0522395:-14.5886824,50.0521808:-14.5885414,50.0522567}}</div> The above map shows the approximately 4.3km boundary around the 40ha property.
