Project Description
The advisory project will work with the client in a two phased approach where:
-Phase 1 will seek to improve the current business model and support the setup of the pilot structures that would prove the model; and
-Phase 2 will seek to support the farm's establishment, and set up and roll out the out-grower program covering all target communities.
Development Results
The goal of the LUNA Livestock and Out-Grower development project is to support the establishment of the first semi-intensive goat farm in Ethiopia that meets best international practice in its production efficiency, environmental sustainability, and animal welfare. The project also aims to set a standard in developing and implementing effective out-growers program with the livestock producers that would be the first backward integration of livestock producers done by a meat exporter in Ethiopia. If successful the project will change the way goats are produced and exported in Ethiopia increasing significantly the export potential of the country and the agricultural incomes of livestock producers in the arid lowlands.
