Earlier Report Observations

Madagascar's copra market volume fell from 8 470 tons in 2018 to 7 496 tons in 2023. The decline accelerated in 2020 after adverse weather conditions early in the year reduced agricultural production, directly lowering copra output, with this weather-driven contraction persisting into 2021.

In 2022, government measures to control price increases likely affected producer incentives, contributing to further market shrinkage. During the same period, the expansion of agricultural cooperatives strengthened farmers' direct access to markets, though it did not reverse the overall production downturn, and the market continued to contract in 2023.
