AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Agriculture: Chinese-backed hybrid rice now covers about 90,000 hectares in Madagascar, yielding an average 7.5 tonnes per hectare — two to three times traditional varieties, according to Xinhua. Political Transition: A year after protests ousted Andry Rajoelina, a report says many promised changes remain unmet and Russia has quickly expanded its engagement with Madagascar’s new leadership. Food Security: About 3.7 million people face acute food insecurity, including 426,000 in critical conditions, as drought and low harvests push up food prices. Digital Access: GSMA says policy changes on smartphone affordability, rural networks, mobile-sector taxes and digital services could connect 1.13 million more people to mobile internet and add MGA 4.1 trillion to GDP by 2031. Public Health: Madagascar has confirmed four plague cases, according to reports this week.
