Precision agriculture technologies (PATs) have been introduced in Madagascar to enhance agricultural productivity and sustainability. A mixed-method approach combining quantitative surveys with qualitative interviews was employed to analyse data from a sample of 150 farmers. The study identified that 60% of farmers adopted at least one type of precision technology, with GPS-guided tractors being the most widely used (35%). Farmers in Madagascar value technical support and training as key success factors for adopting PATs. Investment in farmer education programmes and improved access to technology should be prioritised to increase adoption rates.
