Livestock and meat are important for Ethiopia's economy, but the country faces challenges in its value chain. The chain involves many different people and steps, from farmers to consumers. Despite having a lot of livestock, Ethiopia doesn't export much meat globally. Challenges include lack of feed, diseases, and weak policies. However, there are opportunities due to demand and resources. To improve the value chain, infrastructure should be better, farmers need more market knowledge, and illegal trade should be stopped. Overall, improving the livestock and meat value chain in Ethiopia will require better infrastructure, market knowledge for farmers, and stopping illegal trade.
