| In the framework of a collaborative project between the Malagasy Government and the United Nations Development Programme and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, a new plant quarantine station has been set up at Antananarivo on a plot of 2.5 ha. The station comprises four glasshouses, two of which are designed for the introduction of sugar cane and cotton, two solar domes for micropropagation, four laboratories for mycology, bacteriology, virology and seed testing as well as associated facilities. The quarantine officers have been trained in the latest techniques, especially those of disease diagnosis, in Europe and elsewhere, including Mauritius. The 18 phytosanitary stations spread over the country have been rehabilitated and their laboratories have been equipped to handle importation and exportation of plant material. Officers attached to these stations have also been adequately trained. The phytosanitary laws have been revised and officially published, and are about to be enacted. Agricultural development is dependent on the introduction of new plants and new varieties of plant species existing in Madagascar. Introduction of germplasm will be made in the best possible conditions and with minimum hazards to the Malagasy agriculture. Exportation of plant material will also be carried out according to international standards. The new infrastructures will be useful for regional cooperation not only for plant movement but also for training purposes. | |
