MICROFINANCE FACE OF AGRICULTURAL CRISES IN MADAGASCAR

SCIENCES OF MANAGEMENT

Since its existence, the Malagasy populations are fascinated by agriculture. And currently, 80% of the active population are farmers and the agricultural sector represents 29.1% of the country's GDP. Farmers have a problem of financing to improve their yields and their productions. In this sense, it is important to pose at our level the following problem: "What are the roles of microfinance for Malagasy farmers? Based on a hypothesis assuming the possibility of revitalization of the microfinance sector in the face of agricultural crises, the objective of this work is to identify the problems of microfinance in the face of agricultural crises in order to have a better understanding of this sector, and to contribute to the increase of farmers' production. The results show that despite the problems encountered, strategies should be adopted to enable them to achieve their objectives. We propose that MFIs consider the specific needs of farmers, as 80% of the population is engaged in this occupation. And therefore, MFIs should consider reducing their rates and guarantees. At the same time, the agricultural sector in Madagascar should comply with international standards.
