Rice for the Pigs ? The Problems of a Rice Society through the Example of the Central Highlands of Malagasy.
The rice economy in Malagasy is characterized by: Rice to feed pigs but a poor marketing of rice, a lack of interest from peasants. Peasants do not carry out state- sponsored projects but cover the landscape with a patchwork of fields no longer producing enough rice to serve as the backbone of the economy. These are the Malagasy rice economy characteristics. Why has the situation occurred, particularly in the Central Highlands? For rural people, who are very sensitive to work productivity (i.e. money) and hindrances of marketing activities, time is becoming important: they would rather plant cash crops than rice and thus earn money to buy food to bridge the gap.
