Small ruminant value chain development in Shinelle, Ethiopia Our vision: “By 2020, Shinelle pastoralists will practice sustainable market-oriented sheep and goat production which

production including handling of milk and dairy products • Poor linkage of producers to the markets, no market information, poor horizontal
and vertical linkages between producers, traders and abattoirs/consumers
