AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Wildlife and Forests: Madagascar’s prized Voatsiperifery pepper is threatened by shrinking forests and destructive harvesting. Forest cover fell 27% from 1990 to 2025, and harvesters may tear down vines and supporting trees to reach the spice. Innovation: Madagascar climbed seven places to 113th in the 2026 Global Innovation Index, though the ranking highlights progress rather than measuring whether innovation benefits people widely. Agriculture: Chinese hybrid rice has spread across 90,000 hectares in Madagascar, averaging about 7.5 tonnes per hectare—two to three times the yield of traditional varieties. Digital Access: GSMA says policy changes on smartphone affordability, rural networks, mobile taxes and digital services could bring 1.13 million more people online and add MGA 4.1 trillion to GDP by 2031. Weather Data: Technicians from Madagascar and three Indian Ocean nations trained to use free, open-source software to organize weather and water records for forecasting and early warnings.
