Fifata: 30 years of commitment serving malagasy family farming
Fifata (Fikambanana fampivoarana ny tantsaha or association for the progress of farmers) is a Malagasy professional farmers’ organization of national scope. Since its creation in 1989, Fifata defends a family, professional and competitive farming.
With the support of Fert, Fifata has developed useful services for its members: access to credit, training, agricultural advice, etc. These services are provided by specialized professional farmers’ organizations. Today, the 14 regional farmers’ organizations (RFOs), members of Fifata, and the specialized FOs constitute the Fifata Group.
