ANTANANARIVO, MADAGASCAR - FEBRUARY 26: An agricultural worker works in a paddy field in Antananarivo, Madagascar on February 26, 2025. In the capital city of Antananarivo, rice cultivation is one of the people's largest sources of income. In the country, which is among the important rice production centers in the world, production is widespread, especially in the Ambatondrazaka, Analamanga and Alaotra Mangoro regions within the borders of the capital. Producers who plant “hybrid rice,” which was developed to resist droughts and delayed rains caused by climate change, are working hard to produce despite temperatures exceeding 36 degrees. Farm workers who start working in the fields in the early hours of the morning, harvest the rice ears with sickles and then carry the product they have collected by hand to the separation area. In this area, the rice is bundled and the straw and product are separated, then spread out on empty land near the field and left to dry in the sun. ( Cem Genco - Anadolu Agency )
