Recently, Mr. John Haag Leif, vice chairman of the Madagascar duty free Enterprises Association, told local media that the 5 duty-free areas in Madagascar were due to the termination of Madagascar's "Africa Growth and Opportunity Act" (AGOA) by the US government in late December 2009.

Enterprises will be forced to close down in the near future, and 35000 local employees are expected to be unemployed.

In addition, by the impact of the political crisis broke out in early 2009, duty-free enterprises' orders from the US and Europe decreased by 18% and 5% in 2009 compared with the same period in 2008.

Mr. John said that with the temporary loss of the US market, enterprises in the duty free zone are increasing their efforts to expand the European market. These enterprises hope to reduce the losses caused by the US's suspension of AGOA treatment by expanding the share of the European market.

In December 23, 2009, President Obama declared that he would continue to enjoy the provisions of AGOA in violation of the rule of law and democracy in Madagascar.
