AFRICAN LIVESTOCK CONFERENCE AND EXHIBITION (ALiCE2014)

Livestock is a very important sector in Uganda and indeed in the region as an agent of fighting poverty and undernourishment

The sector provides income for millions of household along the value chain particularly to rural population

The sector also provides all important nutrients to rural population like eggs, milk, meat among others

The sector can also be viewed as complementing crop farming as the crop residue is used as animal feed and the animals on the other hand provides manure

Thus the impact of any improvement in the livestock sector cannot be gainsaid


Why African Livestock Conference and Exhibition (ALiCE)

To seize the opportunities Demand for animals sourced food is expected to grow

exponentially in the region due to Population growth Growing incomes Urbanization

Africa is a net importer of animal sourced food and production will not keep up with consumption growth at least in the short and medium term (ready market)

Africa contribute less than 3% of the global trade of animal sourced foods and less than 10% between Africa states



To attend to the challenges in the sector. According to Impetus Strategy Paper’s (ISP) the livestock

sector in Sub-Saharan Africa is under performing due to; • Low on-farm productivity • Market access• Product quality• Poorly resourced and underperforming livestock services• Unfavorable operating environments (particularly policies,

but also investment, technical support and information)



What now? Enhance productivity and competitiveness to respond to

growing demand locally, regionally and internationally (Capacity building, technology transfer, and knowledge sharing and commercialization)

Enhance market access not only for products but also inputs and services providers (market linkage)

Address the technical barriers to (TBTs) and foster regional integration

Enhance the sector’s profile and change perception Address unfavorable business environment and policies


African Livestock Conference and Exhibition (ALiCE) The most inclusive African convergence of livestock sector (private and public)
