Résumé A Semi-Indus trial Crop in Madagascar : sweet-smelling Plants. This first study of sweet-smelling plant crops in Madagascar and their treatment stresses the basic importance of three plants : palmarosa, basilic and especially ylang-ylang. The growing methods are described as well as the treatments that furnish the main oils, semi-finished products destined for export (France). Production, favored by ideal conditions, is in slight progress and procurs for the government considerable revenue. There is a danger, however, that it will be compromised by inevitable social problems resulting from the very low salaries offered to the agricultural workers while, on the other hand, the large private or nationalized companies derive handsome profits from the crops.
