ADID

What ADID does

ADID (Acteurs de Développement Inclusif et Durable) is a Madagascar-based non-governmental organization founded in 2003 that promotes sustainable agriculture and food security through its proprietary Territoire Agricole Durable (TAD) framework. The organization works with 52 farmer cooperatives across all regions of Madagascar, delivering mindset-change training, technical capacity building, and cooperative organization to smallholder farmers, with a stated goal of improving the livelihoods of 28 million+ Malagasy citizens. ADID is led by President Faly RASAMIMANANA and operates with a staff of 29 employees.

The organization's core technology stack combines a digital agriculture system (remote farmer training via Avaya Space, phenological plant monitoring, hygiene practice evaluation, quality standards assessment, and daily remote agronomic support) with Black Soldier Fly (BSF) farming that converts household, market, and factory waste into biological compost. Its branded product portfolio includes Faly Hordea (biological compost from BSF larvae), AgroFertile (agricultural inputs), Sammmifaly, and the ADID Sécurité Alimentaire food security program. A November 2023 strategic partnership with Airtel Madagascar enables mobile money payments, transmitting farmer compensation directly to bank accounts to reduce cash-handling risk in rural areas.

ADID's business model blends NGO program delivery with limited commercial activity. Revenue generation centers on sales of organic fertilizer under the AgroFertile and Faly Hordea brands, supplemented by partnership-funded initiatives and likely grant/donor support typical of development NGOs. The go-to-market is community-led: cooperative networks serve as both distribution and training nodes, farmer leaders function as peer trainers, and ecosystem partnerships with telecom (Airtel), banking (Bank of Africa), and academic (ISCAM) institutions extend reach. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, reflecting the development-program orientation rather than commercial product sales.
