Promote products Made in Madagascar by Hôtel★★★ Gourmet restaurant Mahajanga.
Before looking at the State of the agri-food sector, We have to ask a question : What is agri-food ? Agriculture is a sector of activity, which includes all the enterprises of the primary and secondary sector and involved in the production of finished food products.
The agri-food sector can thus be set into two subsets :
the agri-food industry, that transforms high live products, plants and fruits grown in finished food products, consumer loans. Very heterogeneous, This sector covers several families of activities, themselves subdivided into many areas. Three activities are called crafts : the deli, baking and pastry. There are also much more concentrated and automated channels such as candy, the brewery, the oil mill, the dairy industry, milling and beverages.
agriculture student live products, cultivated plants and fruits, and supplies them to the agri-food industry.
Agricultural production and incomes of farmers are highly dependent on requirements and the needs of the agri-food industry, who generally want materials cheap raw. Farms are thus subject to binding price for the margins of the agri-food industries. In addition, they tend to exclude small farms, promoting intensive agriculture. The consequence of this phenomenon is the growing gap between the prices of materials first for agri-food industries and the price paid by households.
