APPROACH AND METHODS

For the Methodology I used some contents from the FAO .

Within the framework of the implementation of the International Conference on

"Agriculture in Madagascar: How to achieve the revolution in the

Agricultural sector? "

And to support the process of formulating new policies

In Madagascar, La Friedrich Ebert Stiftung (FES) conducted a preliminary study which will constitute a preliminary stakeholder working paper that will constitute a working paper for the stakeholders of the Conference .The proposed theme is" State of the development of agriculture in Madagascar », And is intended primarily as a basis for discussion for the Experts. The study is based on documentation and databases on the Agricultural sector.

I personally use some references as a main idea of my work.M y methodology including Some hypothesis as well and statistics.

PROBLEM

There is not just positive side. Madagascar face a lot of problem in the term of agricultural Export.

What are the problems face by the exporter? Madagascar is a country which based on the primary sector but still it’s not growing up enough. Most of Malagasy Farmers don’t have that opportunity to get any formation or education. So, it is hard to develop it in the International market. Why Madagascar have different variety of product such as vanilla , as the statistic mentioned above that Madagascar is one of the largest exporter of vanilla but also rich in natural resources , but still a developing country ? the illegal exportation of precious wood also growing up.

In the Chapter VII some solution is already given. My research will not stop here but I will do some update to my framework and  I will focus on Articles and journal in order to justify my work and to give some clear an specific point.

CHAPTER II: THE ROLE OF THE AGRICULTURAL SECTOR IN THE NATIONAL ECONOMY

1. Share in the GDP

GDP is commonly used as an indicator of the economic health of a country, as well as a gauge of a country's standard of living. Since the mode of measuring GDP is uniform from country to country, GDP can be used to compare the productivity of various countries with a high degree of accuracy. Adjusting for inflation from year to year allows for the seamless comparison of current GDP measurements with measurements from previous years or quarters. In this way, a nation’s GDP from any period can be measured as a percentage relative to previous periods. An important statistic that indicates whether an economy is expanding or contracting, GDP can be tracked over long spans of time and used in measuring a nation’s economic growth or decline, as well as in determining if an economy is in recession (generally defined as two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth).

GDP’s popularity as an economic indicator in part stems from its measuring of value added through economic processes. For example, when a ship is built, GDP does not reflect the total value of the completed ship, but rather the difference in values of the completed ship and of the materials used in its construction. Measuring total value instead of value added would greatly reduce GDP’s functionality as an indicator of progress or decline, specifically within inpidual industries and sectors. Proponents of the use of GDP as an economic measure tout its ability to be broken down in this way and thereby serve as an indicator of the failure or success of economic policy as well. Providing a quantitative figure for GDP helps a government make decisions such as whether to stimulate a stagnant economy by pumping money into it or, conversely, to slow down an economy that's getting over-heated. Businesses can also use GDP as a guide to decide how best to expand or contract their production and other business activities. And investors also watch GDP since it provides a framework for investment decision-making. The "corporate profits" and "inventory" data in the GDP report are a great resource for equity investors, as both categories show total growth during the period; corporate profits data also displays pre-tax profits, operating cash flows and breakdowns for all major sectors of the economy.
