Comoros

Comoros is a compact volcanic archipelago in the Indian Ocean, and its capital Moroni on Grande Comore island serves as the commercial and cultural heart of the nation. The economy relies heavily on ylang-ylang and clove cultivation, vanilla farming, and fishing, making these fragrant agricultural products central to any business conversation. Visitors enjoy hiking the slopes of Mount Karthala, exploring the old stone town of Medina in Moroni, and snorkelling the coral reefs around Mohéli. The lively Volo Volo market in Moroni is the place to find locally woven textiles, hand-carved wooden objects, and aromatic spices and essential oils.
