      @@iddy2122 the problem is the weight being 50 kg a sack and transporting it from the mainland to here but probably cost a lot.
      I believe there is a cement factory in Madagascar now most of the cement comes by ship from India to good business to buy in India maybe 15 or ₮20,000 worth and load it onto a ship to send to Madagascar obviously the government will tax it probably at 20% but there’s still plenty of profit for the owner of the cement.

    Is not better to build a swimming pool or something under the level of ground (canteen, for exemple) on that pit instead trying to fill it?
    Looking forward for your trip to another side of island...

      A swimming pool would work well the thing is that a swimming pool will cost ₮10,000 and the land and house with the washroom will cost ₮20,000 so it’s like 50% on this property costs to add a pool. I would look to have a ₮20,000 swimming pool on a 2000 square metre plot with a ₮50,000 house build or 8 apartments worth ₮200,000, you could build a house on stilts over the hole to save filling it in the thing is the plot is still big enough to build everything he wants on the hard ground.

      @@passivenomads In south seems no big varieties of vegetables and usually they consume as they produce. Without electricity for most of Malagasy that could help keep products for longer. You as vasah must break this rule ("fady") and could organize a storage for fresh products. I saw by the end of the day at the local market in Toliara people in difficulty to sell green vegetables. I think they would consume them as unique option in families to avoid damage/whiter.

    What about the visa?
    If I always have to leave the country after 90 days, it will be expensive.
    What options are there to get permanent residence? Found a company?

      It’s not so easy but it’s possible to build a basic 3 bed house for $25,000 a well should cost about $250 a washroom like we are building should cost $1000, $50,000 can go a long way to build a 4 bed 3 bathroom house finished to a western standard if you use local guys and pay them by the day. This guy will likely spend $20,000 to $25,000 to buy the land build the walls the well and a small 2 bed house
