Abstract: This article explores the determinants of farming households? commitment to the certification process, or lack thereof, following the 2005 Madagascan land reform. The field work, which was carried out in a rural town in the Highlands, shows that (i) the main motivation for requesting a certificate is securing one?s land tenure, independently from the prospect of future investments or land sale, and (ii) the characteristics of the plot of land influence both the decision to obtain a certificate and the choice of the plots for which a certificate is requested.
