Context
Cap Malagasy est une OP malgache spécialisée dans le conseil agricole de proximité et membre du groupe Fifata. Ce dispositif de conseil a été initié par Fert en 2004 dans 3 régions du centre-sud, en réponse au constat que les pratiques agricoles ne pouvaient s’améliorer que par un accompagnement dans la proximité et la durée par des techniciens formés à l’approche de conseil (posture d’écoute, conseil progressif…). Cap Malagasy a été institutionnalisée en 2016 et le dispositif s’est étendue progressivement à 5 puis 9 régions.
Partnership Objectives
- Professionalize the role of agricultural advisors and strengthen the governance of Cap Malagasy
- Structure services to improve the living conditions of Fifata member farmers
- Support the organization of farmers within agricultural value chains

“I am a mother, and in the past I devoted myself entirely to household tasks. Thanks to the support provided by Cap Malagasy, particularly the training on onion and leafy vegetable cultivation, my household’s economic situation has improved significantly. The income generated from these activities now allows me to make a meaningful contribution to household expenses. I have been able to buy school supplies and clothes for my children so that they no longer feel disadvantaged compared with other pupils.”
