Income Diversification Trough Animal Husbandry for Smallholder Vanilla Farmers in Madagascar Journal of Agriculture and Rural Development in the Tropics and Subtropics Vol. 121 No. 1 (2020) 63–75 https://doi:10.17170/kobra-202004061143 ISSN: 2363-6033 (online); 1612-9830 (print) – website: www.jarts.info Income Diversification trough Animal Husbandry for Smallholder Vanilla Farmers in Madagascar Stefanie Kunz a, Hendrik Hänke b, Eva Schlecht a,∗ aAnimal Husbandry in the Tropics and Subtropics, University of Goettingen and University of Kassel, Germany bDepartment of Agricultural Economics and Rural Development, Research Unit Environmental- and Resource Economics, University of Goettingen, Germany Abstract The SAVA region in northeastern Madagascar is the largest vanilla producing area globally. Here, we investigated the role of animal husbandry (AH) for income diversification of small-scale vanilla farmers. To do this, 300 household heads were interviewed about livestock ownership, management and marketing. This information was complemented by data from 1800 households (HHs) on involvement in vanilla production (VP) and AH. Throughout the region, 83 % of HHs produced vanilla and 84 % kept livestock. Chicken-keeping (72 %) was most prominent, followed by keeping zebus (42 %), ducks (22 %) and pigs (13 %). A moderate correlation existed between VP and AH in general (r=0.356; p < 0:01) and between VP and chicken-keeping (r=0.324; p < 0.05), but none between VP and zebu or pig-keeping. Buying, fattening and reselling one zebu cattle yielded a price span of 9 % relative to the purchasing price, while a plus of 275 % was achieved for purchasing, fattening and reselling a pig. For chicken and ducks, the respective increase in monetary value amounted to 33 % and 49 %. Relating these price spans to the total annual income of a vanilla-producing HH revealed a potential income contribution of AH of up to 18.4 % in case of selling offspring from own cattle and 5 % or less for selling a pig or a chicken. Against the current high vanilla prices, small-scale AH is therefore an only moderately effective income diversification strategy for vanilla farmers in the SAVA region but might contribute to food security. However, in situations of low to intermediate vanilla prices AH most likely plays a more important role and might increase vanilla farmers´ resilience to income shocks. Keywords: livelihood diversification, gross margin, pigs, poultry, vanilla production, zebu cattle 1 Introduction and reached a first peak during 2000 to 2003 (Fig. 1). This peak was followed by a ten-year low vanilla price phase (15- For decades Madagascar has been the most important 50 $ kg−1 of black vanilla), but in 2017 black vanilla prices vanilla-exporting country worldwide, producing more than rose to ≥ 500 $ kg−1 on the world market (Fig. 1).

Likewise, there is evi- dence that earning off-farm income can be a key livelihood strategy to cope with climate-related shocks, particularly for the rural poor (Asfaw et al., 2019). However, at present the livelihood diversification of Madagascar’s vanilla farm- ers is insufficient, both regarding agricultural diversification and off-farm-income (Hänke et al., 2018, Hänke & Fairtrade International, 2019), making them vulnerable to price fluc- tuations and income shocks. To explore further alternatives for sustaining and diversi- fying agricultural incomes in the SAVA region, the present study analysed the current income contribution of animal Fig. 1: Average global prices for black vanilla during 1999 husbandry, which is largely practiced by the rural popula- to 2019.

According to Cadot et al.

  • Spiders Systematically Trap Amphibians in North-Eastern
    Spiders systematically trap amphibians in north-eastern Madagascar Thio Fulgence1, Dominic Martin2, Holger Kreft2, Fanomezana Ratsoavina3, and Aristide Andrianarimisa2 1University of Antananarivo 2Affiliation not available 3Universit´ed'Antananarivo May 11, 2020 Abstract Predation can take unexpected turns. For instance, various invertebrate species - most commonly spiders - may prey on tetrapods. Here, we report observations of spiders (Sparassidae, Olios sp.) preying on amphibians (Hyperoliidae, Heterixalus andrakata) in north-eastern Madagascar. To do so, the spiders built highly-specialized traps by weaving two leaves together. Four cases by different individuals of the same species show that spiders hide at the rear end of the trap. One case reports the feeding on a small frog caught inside the trap. Previous reports on amphibian predation by spiders describe opportunistic and indiscriminate predation behaviour by generalist ground-dwelling or aquatic spiders. The only more targeted cases concern large orb-weaver spiders building large webs that may serve as an effective trap for small vertebrates, but those only make up a small percentage of prey compared to insects. In contrast, the novel traps type reported here seems to be solely targeted at catching amphibians seeking shelter during the daytime. We thus report systematic trapping of amphibian by spiders, a newly recorded behaviour. Introduction Finding food is an important component of the animal behavior, encompassing on average more than 50% of their lifetime activity budget (Fennessy 2004). Predation is an important technique to acquire food (Kie 1999; Bertram 1979), and occurs between many different taxa, such as vertebrates preying on other vertebrates, for example a bird preying on a gecko (Koski and Mer¸con2015; Lopes et al.

II n'est qu'un guide succinct donnant uniquement l'acception géographique des mots malgaches qui figurent le plus souvent sur les cartes de Madagascar. Ainsi le mot VOID qui signifie dans le langage courant: cheveux, ne correspond sur les cartes qu'au mot bambou, accessoire. ment mousses ou lichens, et n'est donné qu'avec ces der­ niers sens. Beaucoup de noms de lieux ont une origine légendaire ou historique, tels Ampefy ou Ariuonimamo dans l'Ltasy, et ne donnent que peu d'indications géographiques. Les traductions approchées ou hypothétiques ont été écartées, ainsi que celles prêtant à controverse, par exemple Majunga, que l'on écrivait autrefois Manzangay (1), que l'on prononce dans la région Modzangà - aur la tradition sakalaua explique par le mot du roi Andrinntsouli : c Mahajanga ahy, qui me guérit» , qui vient peut- être du Swahili: Mutsanga : sable, ou encore de l'Antalaotra : Moudza-n-gayeh, lieux de choix, terre d'élection.
