Overall progress
55 %
📰 The challenge
Most of Madagascar’s workforce depends on agriculture, yet productivity and youth retention in rural farming remain low. Young people leave farming without access to modern techniques, markets, or fair income.
- Low yields compared with regional benchmarks
- Limited access to export markets and stable prices
- Weak digital tools for weather, prices, and agronomy
✅ Our approach
Agrotech Youth combines agronomy, digital tools, and guaranteed market linkages. Every module ties to measurable outcomes.
- Pillar 1 — Agronomy training: sustainable techniques, certified seed, input management
- Pillar 2 — Digital tools: mobile app for weather, market prices, and advice; tablets for cooperatives
- Pillar 3 — Market access: direct buyer matching, contracts, floor-price guarantee fund
