Sustainable Asset Valuation (SAVi) of Aquaculture in Madagascar

This report by the International Institute for Sustainable Development analyzes the costs and benefits of various aquaculture systems in Madagascar, specifically evaluating the impact of the Projet d'Aquaculture Durable à Madagascar (PADM) on nutrition and the environment.

• The Projet d'Aquaculture Durable à Madagascar (PADM), funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and implemented by GIZ, supported 15,815 fish farms across 590 hectares in six target regions, promoting rice-fish and pond culture to improve nutrition and livelihoods.
• Sustainable Asset Valuation analysis indicates that extensive aquaculture systems outperform intensive systems by an average of 36% when externalities are included in the assessment, as extensive systems avoid the negative externalities associated with intensive methods.
• In Madagascar, 80% of the population resides in rural areas with limited access to protein-rich foods, and while rice-fish systems (where carp and tilapia are farmed with rice) offer symbiotic benefits, only 20% of suitable fields are currently utilized for this practice.
