* [http://www.sidi.fr/Popups%20Partenaires/adaps.htm]: The ADAPs (Association for the Development of Agriculture and the peasantry Sambirano) was founded in 2000 on the initiative of a dozen farmers in the region of Sambirano, on the north coast west of Madagascar. It currently has nearly 1,000 members.
Despite the rich agricultural potential of the region, producers were faced with many difficulties: lack of technical supervision, lack of market information, unavailability of inputs, lack of access to credit, aging plantations, etc.. They are mobilized to set up a farmers' association with the following objectives: to protect their interests in marketing their products, improve their incomes and living conditions.
Under the partnership with AFDI Picardy, ADAPs operates mainly in three sectors: cocoa, vanilla and gardening.
SIDI is related to the ADAPS since 2004. The first funding for the SIDI was established in October 2008, as a collateral for a loan granted by the BMOI, Malagasy local bank to finance cocoa farmers organized into cooperatives of cocoa during their deliveries to a local exporter, the company Ramaex. SIDI has also set up a system to enable farmers in a cooperative to buy rice during the harvest period and have them available during the lean period, critical period and difficult to Madagascar.
