Descripción
Agriculture is considered one of the key drivers of the Malagasy economy, accounting for 26.4 percent of the country’s GDP and employing over 75 percent of the workforce. Despite this, Madagascar’s agricultural production cannot meet the food needs of its population, a large proportion of whom are severely affected by food insecurity. In addition, Madagascar’s potential in terms of availability of agricultural land and natural pastures, water resources, insularity, biodiversity and a young workforce in rural areas remains largely under-exploited.Given China’s expertise in the above areas, the Malagasy Government applied to benefit from the South–South Cooperation (SSC) programme.
