Context of the service
The "Integrated Growth Poles and Corridors" (PIC2) project is funded by the World Bank and supports the Ministries in charge of agriculture and trade. It aims to stimulate economic growth and private investment in agribusiness sectors, particularly in the south of the country, in the Anosy region.
In previous years, the PIC2 had supported the development of the pink pepper sector in the Anosy Region and identified new intervention sectors such as vanilla, cloves, honey, moringa and lychee.
In order to broaden its support, the PIC2 project wanted to have reliable qualitative and quantitative information on the main target cash value chains in the Anosy and Atsimo Atsinanana Regions: cloves, vanilla, coffee, lychee, melliferous plants, pink peppercorn and pepper. A study of the production potential of these value chains has therefore been launched.
