Livestock and Meat Marketing in West Africa. Volume V: The World Meat Economy-Other Supplier and Consumer Countries

摘要

Volume V, the last of a five part report dealing with West African livestock and meat marketing is divided into four parts. The first examines developments in the world meat economy over the last decade, explaining the oversupply conditions which brought non-African exporters into the West African coastal market in the mid-1970s. It then looks into the implications for the West African trade of the recent changes in the world beef economy. The second part of the volume is a report on Uruguay, a major South American supplier. Part III deals with Denmark and France as exporters of meat to the coastal West African countries that are the subject of this study. Part IV explores the potential for finding new export markets for Sahelian livestock and meat. It concentrates particularly on three North African countries -- Algeria, Libya and Egypt -- but also looks at the market situation in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
