An additional 15% of Manambaro's population receives their livelihood from raising livestock and another 20% from fishing. Industry and services provide employment for 5% and 10% of the population, respectively. [3]
A new slaughter house for cows is under construction 5 km from the village centre. It is called BOVIMA or "Bonne Vianne Malgache".
