Ethiopia has one of the largest livestock populations in Africa. Livestock production systems, and meat processing in Ethiopia are generally subsistence oriented and productivity is very low. Hence this review paper is aimed to assemble the subsisting information on Meat processing industry in Ethiopia, what where the past Ethiopia meat industry, the current issues and structure, to compile existing information on the opportunities, challenges, and the way forward of meat processing industry in Ethiopia. Accordingly, low productivity of the animals and the absence of market-oriented production systems are described as the main constraints of meat processing industry in the country. In Ethiopian, for the demand of live animal and meat processing, there are different opportunities like domestic consumption, official exports and high demand of animals by the export abattoirs. However, various internal and external factors are described under the challenges of live animal and meat processing system in Ethiopia and it includes: absence of effective grading system, absence of market data system, absence of promotional activities, supply problems, prevalence of diseases, and traditional production system, and illegal trade, inadequacy of infrastructure, competition, repeated bans and inadequate port facilities. From this review it has been recommended that the meat processing industries can play a pivotal role in shaping the market for high quality meat domestically and using advantage of international market opportunities by utilizing the country's livestock potential, major disease should be controlled, legal channels, market infrastructure and service facilities along borders and implementation of strategies with neighboring countries for legalizing trade should be developed. Livestock transportation facilities, improved slaughter house, livestock resting sites, and storage and quarantine facilities at required sites should be present. In addition, the government should be actively involved for the control of illegal trade of live animals across the borders.
Livestock marketing is a critical component of pastoralist communities, offering opportunities for economic growth and livelihood improvement. Understanding the relationships between Livestock Marketing, Marketing Intermediaries, and Pastoralist Economic Status is essential for effective policy-making and interventions. This study examines these relationships using data collected through surveys and interviews within pastoralist communities. Advanced statistical techniques, including mediation analysis, were employed to analyze the data. The findings reveal a strong and positive direct relationship between Livestock Marketing and both Marketing Intermediaries and Pastoralist Economic Status. Additionally, Marketing Intermediaries have a positive direct relationship with Pastoralist Economic Status. These results emphasize the importance of Livestock Marketing and the role of Marketing Intermediaries in supporting economic growth and empowering pastoralist communities. The implications of these findings for managers, policymakers, and practitioners are discussed, highlighting the need for interventions to enhance Livestock Marketing and support Marketing Intermediaries. Future research directions are also outlined, including longitudinal studies and investigations into contextual factors and sustainability aspects. Overall, this study contributes to the understanding of Livestock Marketing in pastoralist communities and provides insights for effective strategies to promote economic development and sustainable livelihoods.
In recent years, two main trends have been clearly observed in international agricultural trade: a significant increase in the value of trade turnover and a transformation in the composition of both exports and imports in favor of developing countries. However, the intensity of these trends varies depending on the type of agricultural products and the regions of the world. This chapter details changes in the values and compositions of exports and imports of thirteen categories of food and agricultural products (live animals, meat and meat preparations, dairy products and birds’ eggs, fish and crustaceans, cereals and cereal preparations, vegetables and fruits, sugar and honey, coffee and tea, feedstuff for animals, miscellaneous edible products and preparations, beverages and tobacco, oilseeds and oleaginous fruits, and animal and vegetable oils and fats) by eight geographic regions (East Asia and the Pacific, South Asia, Central Asia, Europe, North America, Latin America and the Caribbean, Middle East and North Africa, and Sub-Saharan Africa) and major exporters and importers (197 countries) in 2000–2019.
