How concentrated Madagascar's trade is across its top partner countries, computed from currently-tracked trade flows (not the historical 1997–2015 World Bank dataset). Measures country-to-country concentration only — Madagascar's trade_flows records don't carry product-level detail to break this down further.

Firm-level entry/exit/survival dynamics for Madagascar's exporting firms, whole economy (not broken down by product) so every figure below is a genuine national rate — never an average across incompatible product categories. See /exporter-dynamics to compare Madagascar against all 68 covered countries.
| Metric | Latest value | Year | Trend (2007–2012) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Number of exporting firms | 1,558 | 2012 | |
| Incumbent exporting firms | 1,025 | 2012 | |
| New entrant exporting firms | 533 | 2012 | |
| Exiting exporting firms | 585 | 2012 | |
| Firm entry rate | 34.2% | 2012 | |
| Firm exit rate | 36.3% | 2012 | |
| Exporter concentration (EDD HHI, 0–1 scale) | 0.022 | 2012 | |

| Median export value per exporting firm | $38.0K | 2012 | |
| Avg. destination countries per exporting firm | 2.3 | 2013 | |
| Median destination countries per exporting firm | 1.0 | 2013 |
The 2012 mean is 24x the median — a small number of large exporting firms account for most of the export value; the typical firm exports far less than the average figure suggests.
