      abstract = {This article compares the growth-generating power of  alternative agricultural development
strategies in  Madagascar. Projections from a semi-input-output model and  a recently
developed social accounting matrix suggest that  both paddy and export crops stimulate
strong linkages with  other sectors of the Malagasy economy. But since paddy  output can be
increased at lower cost, investment in  rehabilitating small irrigated rice perimeters  generates
40% to 100% more GOP than a comparable investment  in coffee production. Paddy also
generates greater  employment and a more equitable income distribution.},
