Comments:
An outbreak of locusts started in the south of Madagascar in April 2012. As the situation deteriorated, the Ministry of Agriculture of Madagascar declared a national disaster on 27 Nov and requested technical and financial assistance from FAO in December. In the following months, the locust plague spread further north and was estimated to have infested half of the country by March 2013. The locusts are expected to have negatively impacted on crops and pasture land.
