Competitiveness of smallholder dairy farmers in East Africa

  1. Increase in production will thus occur mostly near where increase in demand occurs
  2. As a consequence, Developing Countries will produce 52% of global milk in 2020, up from 32% in 1993
  3. Home consumption
  4. Display of status
  5. Improving economies of scale (e.g. through collective action)
  6. Access to services and appropriate technologies

Editor's Notes

  1. Who provides most of this milk in Developing countries?
  2. Large role of informal markets globallyTypically highest in poorer countries, where disposable income lowPoints to role of demand in determining market share
  3. Questions to be asked: high margins in Rwanda- incentives to intensify?What can be done to reduce costs of producing milk and improve competitiveness? (Global range $0.14 to $0.60, with weighted average of $0.28, Southern hemisphere (developing countries): $0.0-$0.20)
