The proposed project aims to contribute to the achievement of an ambitious goal of the Government of Madagascar; launching rice export in 2027 in partnership with the private sector while improving rural livelihood. More precisely, the proposed project will establish a model rice processing centre to improve the quality of milled rice for adding value to and strengthening the international market competitiveness of Malagasy rice. Moreover, the centre will serve as a wholesale rice market, thereby reducing distribution costs. Simultaneously, it is expected that the proposed project will contribute to slowing down deforestation by effectively utilizing the agro-residual (rice husks) for producing carbon-neutral fuels and income generating opportunities for the unemployed youth
