The agronomy sector offers numerous vacant professional opportunities. "Madagascar's economy relies heavily on agricultural production and livestock. Given the scale of needs, graduates in agronomy remain few," said Prof. Hery Razafimahatratra, director of the School of Agronomic Sciences at the University of Antananarivo, yesterday, during the announcement of the 2026 Agronomy Fair, to be held on September 15, 16, and 17 at Ankatso. The agronomy field would still offer very broad opportunities in Madagascar. These opportunities would range from agriculture to livestock, from agri-food processing, to sciences focused on conservation, management and protection of forest environments and environmental protection, management through agromanagement, as well as sectors linked to project development and production. Graduates could work in a company or start their own business. "It is rare for students who have completed their studies at this institution not to find employment," the professor added. He estimates there is a lack of awareness among young people about the field, as well as some hesitation to work in rural areas. "This fair allows, among other things, to make the agronomy program of the University of Antananarivo known to new high school graduates," the director continued. Although young people are increasingly interested in this field, the institution's capacity remains limited. Due to insufficient infrastructure, ESSA trains only 120 to 130 graduates per year.
