OPENING REMARKS Provide any opening remarks that may assist in the review of this report. III. NARRATIVE QUESTIONS 1. What was the initial objective of this project? To assist and support FIZAMI and FIFAMA, the two local community associations in western Madagascar, in their management of local wetland and forest resources with conservation and sustainability in mind until they are self supported and independent, to conserve wetland and forest resources, and the endangered Madagascar Fish Eagle. 2. Did the objectives of your project change during implementation? If so, please explain why and how. No 3. How was your project successful in achieving the expected objectives? The two associations have a better understanding and received further training on how to manage their wetland and forest resources independently during meetings held with governmental organizations and personnel. There is more interest and appreciation by the two Associations in controlling and conserving their local natural resources independently and sustainably. The two Associations also have better working relationships with the local authorities and the national government and are seeing the benefits of managing their local resources independently by the recent attention and publicity they are getting at the national level. They have become a role model for many conservation associations within Madagascar.

E-mail: kazushi.takahashi@sophia.ac.jp Abstract This paper examines rice trade flows within and across regions in Madagascar, based on data of unique rice sales collected in 22 major markets in Madagascar in 2012 and 2013. We find that intra- regional trade accounts for a large fraction of the overall rice trade. We then focus on factors that may affect inter-regional transactions, such as market status (i.e. deficit or surplus), geographical proximity and seasonality (harvest vs. non-harvest and rainy vs. dry). We find that rice flows mainly from surplus to deficit regions and within regions that are geographically proximate. Seasonal factors have a generally negligible impact on rice flow. Key words: trade flow; origin; destination; rice; Madagascar 1. Introduction It is well recognised that the degree of commodity market integration has a significant impact on food (in)security. Well-integrated markets provide a mechanism that helps move food efficiently from surplus to deficit areas and minimises the adverse effects of region-specific shocks, such as crop failure (Zant 2012).
