Madagascar agricultural sector development

Overview

Madagascar is pursuing strategic development and restructuring across several key agricultural sectors.

In the coffee and cocoa industries, the government is working to implement the National Program for the Recovery and Strengthening of the Coffee Sector (2026–2036), which targets an annual production of 100,000 tonnes by 2036. Additionally, Madagascar has secured the presidency of the International Cocoa Organization for the 2026-2027 cocoa year, a move intended to increase the international visibility of Malagasy cocoa.

Parallel to these efforts, the government is seeking approximately 400 million USD to restructure the livestock sector. Officials noted that the sector currently accounts for 13% of the national GDP but relies on external donors for 78% of its funding. The proposed investment aims to address structural issues such as low yields, poor feed quality, and limited veterinary care through a finalized Master Plan for Livestock.
