Earlier Report Observations

Cereal germ production in Madagascar expanded from 11 231 tons in 2018 to 16 324 tons in 2023, marking an increase of over 45% across the period. This upward trend gained momentum from 2020 onward, starting with the adoption of the Organic Agriculture Law, which established a clear legal framework for certification and boosted market incentives for production.

Further growth was driven by tangible investments in modern processing equipment during 2021, which improved operational efficiency. The following year, the implementation of the Agricultural Aggregation Law helped structure the sector and strengthen local supply chains, contributing to a production peak of 16 456 tons in 2022.

Output stabilized near this high level in 2023 at 16 324 tons. This period also saw the entry of new players, with young companies emerging to specialize in cereal production using innovative agroforestry systems, reflecting continued sector development.
