AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoDigital Connectivity: GSMA says targeted reforms could bring mobile internet to 1.13 million more people in Madagascar and add MGA 4.1 trillion to GDP by 2031. Priorities include cheaper smartphones, rural network expansion, mobile-sector tax reform and stronger digital skills; 66% of people live under mobile broadband coverage but do not use it. Rice Production: Chinese hybrid rice has spread across 90,000 hectares, averaging 7.5 tonnes per hectare—two to three times yields from traditional varieties. Madagascar now has Africa’s largest area under hybrid rice cultivation. Food Security: Around 3.7 million people face acute food insecurity, with drought and El Niño reducing rice, cassava and maize harvests. Lower output is pushing up prices and increasing reliance on imports.
