February 14, 2019 at 10:42AM Milk, a powerful lever for development in the Sahel

In spite of ever-growing demand, dairy supply chains in Africa face several obstacles. Industry prefers to import powdered milk, which is cheaper, rather than collecting the small volumes of milk produced by scattered, isolated family farmers. However, integrating livestock rearing into the national economy could be a powerful lever for development, particularly in the Sahel, where milk is a culturel centrepiece. The idea of strengthening those supply chains that use local milk is steadily gaining ground, and CIRAD is supporting this on several levels. The publication of a CIRAD-OXFAM guidance note and the launch of the Africa-Milk project, funded by the European Union, illustrate the scope of CIRAD's activities, from applied expertise to strategic research.

February 14, 2019 at 10:42AM Le lait, un puissant levier de développement au Sahel

Dopées par une demande en très forte croissance, les filières laitières africaines font face à plusieurs écueils. Les industries préfèrent importer du lait en poudre à moindre coût plutôt que de collecter de petites quantités de lait produites par les éleveurs familiaux dispersés et isolés. Pourtant, une meilleure intégration de l’élevage aux économies nationales pourrait constituer un levier de développement puissant, notamment au Sahel où le lait est un élément culturel central. Aussi, l’idée de renforcer les filières qui valorisent le lait local s’impose peu à peu. L’expertise du Cirad accompagne cette dynamique à plusieurs niveaux. La parution d’une note d’orientation Cirad-Oxfam, et le démarrage du projet Africa-Milk, financé par l’Union européenne, illustrent l’éventail des activités du Cirad, entre expertise appliquée et recherches stratégiques.
