Livestock and Meat Marketing in West Africa. Volume III: Ivory Coast and Mali

摘要

Mali is the Sahel's principal meat and livestock supplier to coastal West Africa; the Ivory Coast is the latter region's main consumer of Sahelian meat products. This report studies West African livestock and meat marketing and provides sector reports for both countries. The Malian report discusses the potential for augmenting domestic production and the absorption capacity of Mali's export markets by examining livestock production systems and government sector policy; herd numbers and range production parameters (1967-77); production of feed animals (1967-77) cattle production constraints; offtake and herd growth for 1985; domestic consumption and retail prices of red meat (1977); exports of livestock and red meat (1967-77) and projected exports for 1985; export and production costs of livestock and red meat (1977-78); and policy conclusions.
