Madagascar agricultural fertilizer quality initiative

Overview

The Madagascar Ministry of Agriculture and Food Sovereignty (MiASA) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) signed a memorandum of understanding to launch a technical project to improve fertilizer quality control.

Scheduled to run until July 31, 2028, the initiative aims to address declining soil fertility and the risks of non-compliant fertilizers. The project focuses on modernizing the legal and strategic framework and strengthening operational control capacities through the Direction de la Protection des Végétaux (DPV). Key actions include updating the National Fertilizer Strategy to align with SADC guidelines, upgrading the DPV laboratory, and providing specialized training for inspectors.
