Plan directeur du secteur élevage de Madagascar (PDSEM): Note de synthèse de la filière porcine

Pig production is an important contributor to rural livelihoods, food security and income generation in Madagascar, with a national herd of approximately 2.8 million pigs in 2024. Despite its economic significance, the sector is constrained by low genetic potential, poor animal health, high feed costs, weak market organization and recurring outbreaks of African swine fever. This report assesses the performance of the pig value chain and evaluates a 2026–2030 investment roadmap to improve its productivity and resilience. The analysis shows that integrated interventions in animal health, feed production, genetic improvement, biosecurity, market infrastructure and value chain governance could substantially reduce mortality, shorten the time to market and increase slaughter weights. Under the proposed intervention scenario, the national pig population could reach 4.4 million head by 2040, while pork production would increase by 26% compared with the baseline scenario. The findings demonstrate that coordinated investments and stronger institutional support can transform the pig sector into a more productive, resilient and competitive value chain, contributing to improved food security, rural incomes and sustainable economic development in Madagascar.
