The document evaluates Madagascar's cold chain infrastructure, identifying significant electricity gaps in health facilities and high post-harvest losses in agriculture. It proposes investment pathways for medical cold chain equipment and electrification, alongside a scenario-based analysis for four key agricultural value chains.

  • Medical cold chain coverage in Madagascar is hindered by severe electricity deficits; in 2023, over 2,400 out of 3,053 health facilities lacked electricity access, and 35% of those with access had less than 16 hours of power per day.
  • The medical cold chain equipment (ECF) inventory is relatively young, with 60% of PQS-compliant equipment being less than four years old, though approximately 12% are between 15 and 20 years old and require replacement.
  • The estimated total investment required to meet medical cold storage needs and provide basic reliable electrification for all health facilities in Madagascar by 2030 is approximately 28.4 million USD, comprising 14.4 million USD for equipment and 14 million USD for basic electrification.
  • Transitioning 40% of planned solar direct drive (SDD) refrigerator purchases to electric compression equipment, enabled by improved grid reliability, could save 2.9 million USD by 2030.
  • Agricultural cold chain gaps lead to significant economic losses, with the highest potential for loss prevention and fastest return on investment found in the fisheries sector.
  • For the four analyzed agricultural value chains (dairy, fisheries, potatoes, and tomatoes), a 100% cold chain penetration scenario would require a total CAPEX of 2,728,939,389 USD, while a more realistic 20% penetration target would require 545,787,878 USD.
