federating theme

2. Why value chain analysis for EA livestock strategy in Kenya and Uganda

3. Challenges, risks, and opportunities in extensive livestock value chains

4. Policy and legislative environment in Kenya and Uganda

1. WHY THE EXTENSIVE LIVESTOCK VALUE CHAIN AS A FEDERATING THEME

VC approach was adopted for Eastern Africa Livestock strategy to provide for integration of all actors and functions in the Extensive livestock sub-sector

Provide a framework for analysis of farmer-to-consumer or production to consumption continuum

Stipulate provision of information on constraints, opportunities, policies and plausible strategies in the ELVCPromoting Market access, enterprise and livelihood

development in ECA

2. WHY VALUE CHAIN ANALYSIS FOR EA LIVESTOCK STRATEGY

(KENYA AND UGANDA)

Analysis of the Extensive Livestock Value Chain (ELVC) describes the full range of activities that are required to bring beef from production, through the different phases of production to delivery for final consumption (Adopted: Kaplinsky & Moris, 2002)

*Inform and trigger Market or Value-driven approach to beef production

WHY THE MARKET-DRIVEN BEEF VALUE CHAIN FOR EAFF STRATEGY

Market orientation has potential to trigger sector development through illuminating strategic stakeholder investment and participation functions along the Value Chain

Market-driven livestock value chains highlights: Actors, Functions and their Linkages at various levels along the Beef production to consumption continuum. 6

3. CHALLENGES, RISKS, AND OPPORTUNITIES IN EXTENSIVE LIVESTOCK

VALUE CHAINS

HOST CASES: UGANDA AND KENYA

8


Opportunities 1.Promoting indigenous breeds

2.Controlling diseases

3.Increasing land productivity

4.Enhancing animal nutrition and feeds

5.Promoting irrigated agriculture in agro-pastoral systems

6.Managing Indigenous Knowledge for Early warning

7.Promoting ethno veterinary services and medicine

8. Scaling-up the Index-Based Livestock Insurance

3.1: PRODUCTION: CHALLENGES, RISKS & OPPORTUNITIES

Challenges & Risks; skewed towards adverse effects of climate change and variability

1. Pasture and water stress

2. Pests and diseases

3. Limited Extension Services

4. Cattle rustling

5. Limited access to financial services

6. Lack of risk insurance mechanism

7. Loss of common property resources

8. Corroding of traditional institutions & coping mechanisms 9


Opportunities1.Establishing modern abattoirs; HACCP and phytosanitary compliance is critical

2.Promoting cottage processing in rural and urban areas

3.Growth of region’s fast-foods industry calls for investing in livestock processing

4.Investing in rural energy technologies for processing

3.2: PROCESSING: CHALLENGES, RISKS & OPPORTUNITIES

10


Challenges & Risks1. Inadequate primary

processing facilities 2. Inappropriate value-

addition practices 3. Inadequate support

from stakeholder institutions

4. Inconsistent supply of livestock

5. Limited investment capital

Opportunities (Domestic & International markets)

1.Un met market demand for red meat from cattle, small ruminants and camels

2.Proliferation of fast-foods & growth of catering industry

3.Increased portfolio of beef value-addition/value added pdt

4.Establish appropriate institutions and build capacity for actor compliance to sanitary and phytosanitary requirements

3.2: MARKETING: CHALLENGES, RISKS & OPPORTUNITIES

11


Challenges & Risks1. Poor and lack of market

infrastructures

2. Low motivation of pastoralist to participate in livestock trade

3. Seasonal price declines

4. Trade ban due to Diseases Outbreaks

5. Limited Access to Market information

6. Poor functionality of institutions

7. Inadequate Transportation facilities

8. Inappropriate policy support to improve market access

4. POLICY AND LEGISLATIVE ENVIRONMENT IN KENYA AND UGANDA

Policy-related Constraints and Opportunities 12


NATIONAL POLICY ENVIRONMENT

Kenya Livestock Development Policy1. Livestock sector is inadequately funded and suggests a

deliberate effort by the government to increase funding

2. Proposes strategic institutional reforms e.g. creation of Kenya Livestock Research Institute

3. Recognizes that existing institutions like the Kenya Meat Commission (KMC) and the Kenya Veterinary Board (KVB) should be restructured to accommodate new functions

4. Recognizes that current definition of food security excludes animal based products such as milk, beef and fish which are of high nutritional value

5. Proposes government to collaborate with stakeholders to explore means of securing adequate investment for livestock infrastructure

6. Proposes addressing Human-wildlife conflict with measures like eco-tourism and appropriate compensation scheme for the loss of both human and livestock.

13


NATIONAL POLICY ENVIRONMENT CONTINUED…..

Uganda National Livestock Policy: National Meat policy Concerned institutions are too many and may hinder

implementation; BUT creates opportunity for Innovation Systems Approach

Centralized licensing inhibits small trader participation in markets

Provides opportunity for wider stakeholder participation and widens the value chain functions

Assigns a lead role to the private sector in implementing the policy

Promotes sustainable production of quality meat to meet demand and contribute to food security

Supports and guides meat processing, value addition and enforcement of standards in the meat industry

Improves marketing of meat and meat products for domestic and targeted regional and international export markets
