NATIONAL LIVESTOCK PRODUCTION (Meat, Milk, Eggs, Organic Matter and Energy) - 2016
CONCLUSIONS In Tanzania, cattle and poultry are the major livestock activities Results show annual returns per head of cattle in the highland zone is
higher than other zones in traditional herds. For commercial livestock keeping, medium size dairy pays more than
ranches and cattle fattening. The contribution of traditional livestock to increasing income is substantial
only in medium size livestock herds (which are small in number), not small herds kept by poor households.
Thus, reducing household poverty in traditional livestock will require investments in productivity increasing technology and changes in policies to promote adoption.
Contribution of the sector to employment and national economy (GDP) is substantial, but it can only be raised greatly with appropriate investments in productivity increasing technologies.
The potential of the sector to overcome malnutrition is great through providing Animal Source Foods (ASF).
Livestock production will increase greatly from 2016 to 2031 but to see whether this increase will be enough to ensure “food security” in 2031 we will need to compare this projected production growth to the projected increase in consumption requirements (the next step in the LSA analysis)
