Item The market for animal-source foods in Uganda: Looking beyond quantity: Rapid appraisal of consumer preferences for retail outlets, retail forms and safety and quality attributes(Conference Paper, 2013-08-15) Baker, Derek; Mtimet, Nadhem; Pica-Ciamarra, U.; Jagwe, J.This paper presents the results of a rapid consumer survey undertaken in Uganda. The survey aimed at identifying preferred quality and safety attributes, retail forms and retail outlets for major livestock products and by type of consumers. Results of the survey, combined with nationally representative household datasets, allows description of both the quantitative and qualitative dimensions of the developing market for animal-source foods, which is anticipated to provide major business opportunities for small-scale livestock producers in the short and medium terms.Item Valuation of traits of indigenous sheep using hedonic pricing in Central Ethiopia(Journal Article, 2013-12) Gutu, Z.; Haile, Aynalem; Baker, Derek; Kassie, Girma T.This study estimates the implicit prices of indigenous sheep traits based on revealed preferences. A hedonic pricing model is fitted to examine the determinants of observed sheep prices. Transaction data were generated from rural markets of Horro-Guduru Wollega Zone of Ethiopia. Both OLS and heteroscedasticity consistent estimations were made. The empirical results consistently indicate that phenotypic traits of traded indigenous sheep (age, color, body size, and tail condition) are major determinants of price implying the importance of trait preferences in determining the price of sheep in local markets. Season and market locations are also very important price determinants suggesting the need to target season and market place in sheep improvement programmes. Therefore, the development of a comprehensive breeding program that has marketing element is crucial to make sheep improvement sustainable and sheep keepers benefit from the intervention.Item The market for animal-sourced foods in Tanzania: Business opportunities for small-scale livestock producers?(Presentation, 2013-07-21) Baker, Derek; Pica-Ciamarra, U.; Longin, N.; Mtimet, NadhemItem Value chain performance: Transmitting trade-related benefits to smallholders(Poster, 2013-05-15) Baker, Derek; Wanyoike, Francis N.; Bahta, Sirak T.; Mtimet, Nadhem; Katjiuongua, Hikuepi B.; Marshall, Karen; Ndiwa, Nicholas N.Item Les activités de l’ILRI en appui aux politiques de développement des filières(Presentation, 2013-01-14) Cadilhon, Joseph J.Item Livestock production and marketing(Book Chapter, 2012) Negassa, Asfaw; Rashid, Shahidur; Gebremedhin, Berhanu; Kennedy, AdamItem Value chain analysis of dairy products in Wolaita Zone, Ethiopia(Conference Paper, 2012-07-30) Kuma, B.; Baker, Derek; Getnet, Kindie; Kassa, B.Item Determinants of fluid milk purchasing sources in Ethiopia(Journal Article, 2010-12) Kuma, B.; Baker, Derek; Getnet, Kindie; Kassa, B.This study investigated main determinants affecting fluid milk purchasing sources of households in Wolaita zone, Ethiopia. From the collected household survey data, a multinomial logit model was estimated to analyze households„ choices among processed, unprocessed and both processed-unprocessed fluid milk sources within the utility maximization framework. The results indicate that households with at least a child under the age of six, who rejects the statement „price of processed fluid milk is expensive compared with unprocessed fluid milk., indigenous or native resident type and no order from doctor to consume fluid milk were more likely to purchase processed-unprocessed over processed fluid milk. Household heads whose education levels are formal and higher, lower income, who accept the statement „price of processed fluid milk is expensive compared with unprocessed fluid milk., indigenous or native resident type, no order from doctor to consume fluid milk and reject the statement processed fluid milk fattens children were more likely to purchase unprocessed fluid milk over processed. Households without child under the age of six, lower income level and rejects the statement „processed fluid milk fattens their children. were more likely to purchase unprocessed fluid milk over processed-unprocessed. The implications of these results for dairy value chain actors in developing countries are discussed.Item Price co-integration analyses of food crop markets: The case of wheat and teff commodities in Northern Ethiopia(Journal Article, 2012-07-03) Jaleta, Moti; Gebremedhin, BerhanuThis paper examines the role of market price information dissemination on the co-integration of grain market prices in Northern Ethiopia. Results are based on bi-monthly retail price data on wheat and teff commodities collected from six markets in the Tigray region of Northern Ethiopia. The data has 55 observations for each of the two crops in each of the six markets ranging over a period from May, 2006 to October, 2008. Johansen’s co-integration test reveals that most markets are co-integrated in wheat and teff retail prices. However, there is an indication that retail prices at Abi-Adi, a town located relatively farther away from the main asphalt road is less integrated to other markets. This implies that, in addition to market price information dissemination, other infrastructural developments like road networks are crucial for spatial market integration through the physical transfer of goods from one market to another.Item Market access and value chain analysis of dairy industry in Ethiopia: The case of Wolaita Zone(Thesis, 2012-02-15) Kuma, B.Market access and value chain of dairy products in Wolaita zone was analyzed to identify and prioritize constraints and come up with strategic interventions, to identify determinants of participation decision and level of participation in-farm level milk value addition, to assess factors affecting milk sales decision and access to alternative milk market outlet choices, to identify determinants of fluid milk purchasing sources and to identify factors affecting unpacked and packed fluid milk consumption. Secondary data sources used include journal articles, books, CSA, internet, national policies, zonal and wereda reports. Primary data were collected using participatory, rapid market appraisal and survey from random samples of 398 farmers, 198 consumers, 79 traders and 53 hotels/restaurants. The results show that farmers produced mean milk yield of 8 liters per day, out of which 27.8% was used for home consumption, 58.2% was sold to market outlets and 26.6% was used for value addition. About 27.9%, 22.1%, and 9.4% of the milk produced per day was sold to consumers, hotels/restaurants and cooperatives, respectively. The first-stage probit model results indicate that milk yield in liter per day, distance from urban centers, age, child, poor access to livestock extension services, shelf life, social factors (holidays and fasting), and labor availability determined household‟s decision to add values to milk. Heckman second stage results show that most of the factors determining decision of participation in milk value addition also determined the level of participation. The probit model results indicate that household size, presence of a child, landholding size, distance from urban center and milk yield per day played a significant role in the probability of milk sales decision. Conditional (fixed-effect) logistic model results indicate that compared to accessing individual consumer market outlet, the probability of accessing cooperative market outlet was higher for households who had better access to livestock extension services, many years of farming experiences, large landholding size and members to cooperative. Compared to accessing individual consumer market outlet, the probability of accessing hotels/restaurants market outlet was higher for households who had better access to livestock extension services and who owned large number of cows. Multinomial logit model results indicate that age of household head, household income, presence of a child, households who disagree with the statement „packed fluid milk is fattening‟, households who disagree with the statement „advertisement influences people so they buy fluid milk‟, who agree with the statement „price of packed fluid milk is expensive compared with unpacked fluid milk‟ and who own cows impacted consumption of unpacked fluid milk. Education level of household head, young aged household heads, households with at least a member who has medical prescription, households who accept the statement „sterilized milk contains preservatives‟ consumed packed fluid milk. Shortage of feed, low cattle productivity and genetics, inadequate extension services, inadequate institutional support and veterinary services were major constraints. Fodder trees and mixed tree legume protein banks, efficient breeds selection that adapt to the environment, appropriate technical and institutional support and capacity improvement are steps to improve dairy value chain.Item African beef and sheep markets: Situation and drivers(Presentation, 2012-06-21) Baker, DerekItem La boîte à outils filières: Partager-apprendre-collaborer-créer de la valeur(Brochure, 2013-04-15) International Livestock Research InstituteItem AgriFood chain toolkit: Share- learn-collaborate-add value(Brochure, 2013-04-15) International Livestock Research InstituteItem Promoting agro-enterprises in the highlands of Ethiopia through improved institutional support services: Experiences of market-oriented dairy and fattening development(Presentation, 2012-08-18) Gebremedhin, Berhanu; Hoekstra, Dirk; Tegegne, AzageItem Determinants of participation decisions and level of participation in farm level milk value addition: The case of smallholder dairy farmers in Ethiopia(Journal Article, 2011-12-22) Kuma, B.; Getnet, Kindie; Baker, Derek; Kassa, B.On-farm value addition to farm products is recognized and highly promoted through value chain approaches for its benefit in terms of improving farm income. Growing demand and high price for value added milk products, together with the availability of ample livestock resources, would provide opportunities for smallholder farmers in Ethiopia to diversify their livelihoods. Nevertheless, their participation in milk value addition is perceived to be generally low. Apart from farm household characteristics, organizational and institutional issues influence farmers’ participation decisions and level of participation in-farm level milk value addition. By analyzing survey data using Heckman two-stage selection model, this article identified determinants of participation decisions and level of participation in-farm level milk value addition by smallholder farmers in Ethiopia. The first-stage probit model estimation results indicate that milk yield, distance from urban centers, household demography (age and child), livestock extension services, the need to extend shelf life, consideration of milk products for social factors such as holidays and fasting, and availability of labor for milk value addition determined household’s decision to add values to milk. The results also show that most of the factors determining decision of participation in milk value addition also determined the level of participation.Item Sheep market participation of rural households in Western Ethiopia(Journal Article, 2012-03-12) Gutu, Z.; Haile, Aynalem; Baker, Derek; Kassie, Girma T.Sheep production is an integral part of the subsistence crop-livestock based livelihoods of the Ethiopian highlands and plays a crucial role in economic development and poverty reduction. This study analyzed determinants of intensity of market participation of smallholder sheep keepers in Western Ethiopia. Data were generated from the rural households in their villages in Horro Guduru locality, Western Ethiopia. Poisson model was employed to examine factors determining the level of sheep keepers’ market participation. The results of the empirical analysis show that flock size, family size, educational background, experience, access to market information and access to veterinary service are decisive factors determining the household’s level of market participation. This study highlights the need to expand market information and veterinary services to sheep producers and capacity for their delivery. It also magnifies essential changes that need to happen in the management and marketing of sheep at farm level in order to generate higher and sustainable income for sheep producers in the region.
