SP 6: Meat value chain

You are here: Home

SP 6 will map the agro-pastoral meat value chain and identify critical points at which losses occur.

The aim is to improve meat processing, product development and marketing, for both the informal and formal sectors, and to improve marketing access for agro-pastoral producers via marketing associations. The potential of innovative marketing systems for reducing losses and increasing value of meat products will be tested and assessed.
Chairperson: Dr Catherine Kunyanga, University of Nairobi, Kenya

RELOAD is characterized by its comprehensive approach to reducing PHL, with activities channelled through seven subprojects (SP 1–7). These address agricultural and food value chains from different angles. Commodity-based research is combined with cross-cutting themes. For the meat and dairy value chains, the policy framework that governs these sectors will be described and analyzed for its implications for different actors, and policy decision-makers and regulatory authorities will be involved in stakeholder platforms to jointly identify needs and options for change, so that losses can more effectively be reduced.
