ABSTRACT: The
cultivation of vanilla is one of the economic pillars of Madagascar. Yet, since
its liberalization in 1995, this sector has experienced recurrent production
instability. In an attempt to enhance the production performance in this
sector, this article will try to study the causes of this production
instability, and propose a sustainable alternative to the vanilla production in
Madagascar. Indeed, during this research, the empirical research analysis
revealed on the one hand a poor communication management of the vanilla sector
in the spread of timely information and an annual passage of tropical cyclones.
Besides, the literature review suggests that one alternative could be
introduced through the integration of new technologies such as ICT.
