Africa Sustainable Livestock 2050: Business models along the cattle dairy value chain in Ethiopia.
The FAO partnered with the Ethiopian Society of Animal Production (ESAP) to understand and document the various business models along the cattle dairy value chain nodes in Ada’a and Sululta districts. Dairy businesses are highly heterogeneous in Ethiopia and, even though most are profitable, milk production, marketing, service, input, and other support are not well organized and integrated. Investments to make the dairy value chain more effective should target more institutional than the technical dimensions, which entails a novel approach to veterinary and animal production services.

Over the past ten months, 21.29 million doses of animal vaccines have been exported.
The National Institute of Animal Health of Ethiopia said it has exported 21.29 million doses of vaccines in the past ten months.
As a result, the institute earned $ 800,000 by exporting its vaccines to neighboring 26 other African countries. Compared to the same period last year, remittances were lower in 2013 and more than $ 250,000 this year. Various African countries have also applied for a $ 1 million vaccine in the next four months.
Ato Mesfin Getachew, director of procurement and sales at the National Institute of Animal Health, said that a total of 15 million doses of animal vaccines have been ordered. "Not to mention the high demand from Niger in particular, but also We have been supplying Niger for the past three years, " he said.

Mastitis reduces the milk yield of individual infected cows and the profit potential of the entire dairy operation. A study published in 2015 showed the cost per case of clinical mastitis in the first 30 days of lactation is $444.
Breakdown of costs for clinical mastitis:
Milk production loss: 31%
Veterinary fees and drug costs: 24%
Loss due to discarded milk: 18%
Cost due to excess labor demand: 4%
Loss due to premature culling: 23%
Let's take a closer look at each of these costs and consider the implications for your dairy:
Production losses
Reduced milk production is the highest cost linked to a mastitis case. However, the amount of loss depends on several factors. For example, a first-lactation cow with mastitis will have an average milk yield loss of 0–9%, while second- or later-lactation cows can experience higher yield losses. Milk production losses can also vary by breed, herd size, and region.

International milk prices rose while volumes fell in this month's first Global Dairy Trade auction held by GDT Events, reported Reuters.
The GDT Price Index rose 1.5%, with an average selling price of $4,656 per tonne, in the auction held on Tuesday.
The index fell 2.9% at the previous sale, according to GDT Events.
A total of 21,435 tonnes was sold at the latest auction, falling about 11.7% from the previous one, the auction platform said on its website.
The auctions are held twice a month, with the next one scheduled for 21 June.
The auction results can affect the New Zealand dollar NZD= as the dairy sector generates more than 7% of the nation's gross domestic product. The New Zealand milk co-operative, which is owned by about 10,500 farmers, controls nearly a third of the world dairy trade.
GDT Events is owned by New Zealand's Fonterra Co-operative Group Ltd, but operates independently from the dairy giant. US-listed CRA International Inc is the trading manager for the twice-monthly Global Dairy Trade auction.

A new study on Ethiopia’s smallholder dairy value chain suggested that solar appliances have the potential to help dairy farmers overcome major challenges such as feed scarcity, low milk quality, and inefficient butter churning methods.
According to Precise’s Consult report, Ethiopia has Africa’s largest cattle population yet still imports dairy products to meet local demand. As per FAOSTAT, the country imported 173 tons of whole fresh cow milk, 181 tons of butter, and 178 tons of cheese in 2019.
Despite the fact that the number of cattle has increased over time, the daily milk supply per cow has shown very little improvement, according to the study. In 2019, indigenous breeds accounted for 97.7 percent of the 65.3 million cattle in Ethiopia, with an average daily milk output of 1.48 L/cow, compared to hybrid breeds, which can yield 10-15 L/cow per day.

The Flexible Multi-Partner Mechanism (FMM) recently funded a new Subprogramme on Global Network of Digital Agriculture Innovation Hubs. The Subprogramme aims to accelerate the development of digital innovation in the agri-food sector. This network of in-country innovation hubs, established by FAO and country institutions, supports farmers and value chain actors. The Subprogramme focuses especially on youth and women and seeks to increase their skills and competitiveness.
The FMM Subprogramme on Global Network of Digital Agriculture Innovation Hubs (GNDAH) has started the implementation in Dominica, Grenada, Ethiopia, and Morocco. Considering national priorities on digital innovation, FAO’s country teams are scoping the state of each country’s digital development and capacity of partners, such as government institutions, academia, NGOs, and the private sector. This Subprogramme seeks to support countries in designing a national digital agriculture model that meets local needs in agriculture, forestry, and fisheries priorities and fostering public-private partnerships.
While the countries are different in size, culture, economy, and priorities, there are many synergies and lessons learnt that can be exchanged across countries and regions.
Ethiopia, with 110 million people, has around 40% of its population under the age of 15. The country has formulated a long-term strategy that includes the transformation of the agricultural sector. Since 70% of the population works in agriculture, this transformation will impact on the lives of many in the population.
Because 80% of the population in Ethiopia lives in rural areas, capacity building, partnerships, and market information dissemination are crucial elements in a digital transformation of the country. The government of Ethiopia considers accelerate digital transformation as a priority.
The Global Network Hub Subprogramme, which will run until 2023, is off to a good start and these four countries may be joined by others in the future. All the target countries mentioned their desire to link their work with existing FAO projects such as the Hand in Hand initiative, the 1 000 Digital Villages initiative, and others.

Ethiopia’s leading animal husbandry international tradeshow enjoyed more than 3000 attendees, making all exhibitors satisfied with the result (quality and quantity of visitors).
Collocating the 29th Ethiopian Society of Animal Production (ESAP) annual conference with the trade fair enabled researchers, Academia, and policymakers to meet in one platform with private sector stakeholders operating along the entire animal husbandry value-chain.
The event was officially opened by high-ranking representatives of Ethiopian government officials and different foreign ambassadors. H.E. Dr. Fikru Regassa, State Minister of the Ministry of Agriculture, said, “this trade fair creates a platform for all key stakeholders in the whole livestock value chain to meet, discuss and transact business that can improve productivity in the sector. He also mentioned that the government had set plenty of incentives for those who show interest in working and growing in the sector besides encouraging already established livestock producers to expand their production capacity and start value addition schemes to benefit themselves and the nation, in general serve the African market.
Despite having one of the largest cattle populations in Africa, Ethiopia has been struggling for years to fulfill the sector’s potential. Worldwide, five of agriculture’s top ten commodities are animal-sourced, said Dr. Daniel Temesgen, President – Ethiopian Society of Animal Production. In Africa alone, the market value for animal-sourced foods is expected to rise to USD151billion by 2050. He added that Ethiopia can unleash the huge potential to become a leader in livestock production in the World by acting now, together, and coherently.
According to Mr. Rinus Vann Klinken, Project Manager of SNV BRIDGE, the dairy processors have reached a capacity of processing 340,000 liters of milk per day from 250,000 liters of milk per day within a year. However, 340,000 liters of milk per day for a population of 117 million people is not very much, but it is a gross percentage of 20%. Thus the target is to reach a capacity of processing 1 million liters per day, which is also the ambition of the Ministry, which benefits both businesses and consumers.
The 10th Ethio Poultry Expo (Ethiopex), and 5th African Livestock Exhibition and Congress (ALEC) enabled 3000+ trade visitors from 20 countries to communicate with 50+ exhibitors from 6 countries. Their business conversations led to sales leads, knowledge sharing, and strong business relationships.
Even though the event industry faced many challenges because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the outcome was unexpectedly achieving a remarkable success! The exhibitors were very happy, as a satisfying number of targeted participants visited their booth to continue discussions on existing and new projects.
International companies that recognize the huge potential of Ethiopia – like Aviagen, BigDuthman, Lohman, Babolna Tetra, Trouw Nutrition, and AVICO has participated in the trade fair with the objective of creating a network with the industry stakeholders and promoting their modern equipment’s and products as well as building their brand in the fastest-growing market. The show gives them the perfect platform to meet customers, which they have missed for the last two years due to COVID – 19.
Most of the local participants are very happy to get back to physical shows that enable them to reconnect with industry players and explore new partnership opportunities.
Following the success of the physical event, the organizers also announced a three-month-long series of the online trade fair that is going to take place from 08 November to 29 January. With a more significant number of people realizing the benefits of Digital Trade fairs, it’s highly likely for virtual events to become a permanent fixture in future marketing strategies. Virtual events offer the opportunity for attendees to browse content at their own pace and zoom in on the topics of their choosing much faster.
