Abstract

This present article addresses the optimization of agricultural productivity in Madagascar. In accordance and in line with the government's policy for Madagascar Development, the Ministry of Agriculture (GSP: General State Policy) has adopted development project plans focused on improving the standard of living of the rural world and, above all, the economic situation. At present, the rate of agricultural production is steadily declining over time and space, but according to INSTAT (Malagasy Institute of Statistical), 85% of the Malagasy population are farmers. Therefore, in the context of improving Malagasy agriculture, what are the main factors behind this decline? Since Malagasy citizens contribute to the development of the nation, we have chosen as the theme of our research project: The improvement of agricultural products in Madagascar. According to our field results, the structure of the soil's organic elements has been destroyed (soil infertility, favoring and dominance of various defective insects). What are the causes of this destruction? In addition, we found that the overuse of chemical fertilizers and chemical products applied to treat insects is one of the main factors. This research project is divided into three main parts: firstly, a feasibility study. Next, the scientific presentation of the project, and finally, the results and cost estimates.
