 afrol News - Rural development in Madagascar financed
Toamasina, which hosts Madagascar's second city and the island's principal port, is predominantly a rural province.
Most Toamasina residents are farmers with small parcels of land, but, according to the Malagasy government, smallholders here struggle with declining crop yields, poor product quality, falling international prices for some crops and the inability to demand their fair share in the marketplace.
In addition to the programme's aim of improving Toamasina smallholders' crop yields, it is also set to "work to restore links between rural producers and markets by building partnerships between organised smallholders and larger private sector operators," the IFAD statement reads.

As in other provinces, the Fianarantsoa public had responded with amused disinterest to a declaration of independence from the secessionist governor, and now it held the street.
