7 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Background SNV Tanzania commissioned Match Maker Associates in collaboration with Consultants for Development Programs to carry out a sub sector analysis of red meat in Tanzania. SNV Tanzania wanted to understand the dynamics of the sector in order to decide whether or not to include this sub sector in the portfolio. The study was conducted in April and May 2008 essentially reviewing secondary literature and field visits to the Northern, Central and Lake Zone corridors, which are prominent livestock development areas in the country. Overview of the Livestock sector in Tanzania The Agricultural sector, including livestock, is the dominant sector in the Tanzanian economy, being the main supplier of food and fibre for home use and export. It accounts for approximately 46% of the country s Gross Domestic Product (Economic Survey, 2004) and the main source of livelihood for over 75% of the population in Tanzania. The sector is currently the largest foreign exchange earner accounting for 60% of the export earning. Therefore, investment in this sector remains, as a matter of policy, a priority for the Tanzanian Government. The sector has strong forward and backward linkages with the manufacturing sector, providing most of the basic raw materials and inputs to local agro- processing industries. In 2004 the livestock sector contributed 4.1% of the GDP and 8.9% of the agricultural GDP (Economic Survey, 2004). The meat industry contributed 40%; the dairy industry 30% and the balance represent the contribution of pigs, poultry and other products and services from the sector (Livestock Policy, 2007). Out of about 4 million households in Tanzania, some 1.8 million households raise at least one type of livestock (NBS, 2002). Furthermore, about 0.3 million pastoralist households depend on livestock husbandry as the main source of livelihood. Livestock production in Tanzania is divided into the traditional and modern/commercial production systems. The former is further divided into agro-pastoral, pastoral and mixed farming sub systems. The commercial sector is further sub divided into large scale enterprises and smallholder units. The traditional sector is the most dominant, for it accounts for over 95% for cattle, over 98% for goats and sheep kept and slightly less for other species (pigs and poultry). Livestock owners in the traditional system keep livestock for multiple objectives, including (in descending order of importance as reported by the BACAS/MLDF study): To generate income Meet subsistence needs, Store of wealth, cash income, Manure and drought, and Meeting socio-religious needs of communities. Cattle keeping are the most important livestock production activity, followed by goats and sheep. In agro-pastoralism crop production is the main source of livelihood, however, extensive livestock farming, using indigenous breeds (cattle, goats and sheep) and usually using communal grazing, is important. Agro-pastoralism is practiced in the semi arid zone of Mwanza, Mara, Shinyanga, Tabora, Singida, Dodoma, Manyara, Arusha, Kilimanjaro, Mbeya and Iringa. It is the most important system in terms of land use, number of livestock (cattle, sheep and goats) and production (meat and milk). Due to the variation of rainfall in amount and distribution, availability of Tanzania Red meat for local and export markets Sub Sector Analysis MMA - CDP May 2008 Draft report vii

8 pasture varies between seasons, and places. Droughts occur often, in less than 10 years, and the droughts may last for 2-3 years, causing serious losses in terms of depressed production, animal deaths and forced sales with depressed prices at the markets. To mitigate the variation of feed and water availability, agro-pastoralists practice transhumance, under which the base herd is kept at permanent homes but other animals are moved away in search of grazing. Under pastoralism livestock husbandry (keeping of cattle, sheep and goats) is the most important source of livelihood. It is usually practiced in the more arid lands, where crop production is extremely hazardous due to low rainfall (less than 600 mm a year) and droughts are more frequent than above, occurring every 3-5 years. Key Characteristics of the pastoral production system are:- animals represent more than economic assets; they provide social identity and security; large herds are reared mainly for subsistence, with occasional trading; herds are composed mainly of indigenous breeds; practised on extensive basis with animals depending on natural pastures for feed; mobility in response to variations in climate common. In Tanzania, it is estimated that the pastoral economy is the main source of livelihood for about 0.7% of the population. Pastoralists are found in the semi arid and arid zones of Tanzania, with pockets in sub-humid regions of Tanga, Morogoro and Coast. In recent years pastoralists have moved further south in Lindi, Mtwara and Ruvuma. Red Meat Industry in Tanzania The following are the key features and dynamics of the meat industry in Tanzania. Almost (98%) traditional pastoralists and agro-pastoralists Emerging private sector in production, processing and marketing Large number of live cattle is exported to neighbouring countries and to Comoro. Small volume of red-meat is been exported mainly to the Middle East Market Minimum value addition is taking place currently - exporting carcasses Some preliminary processing cuts, sausages and packaging is emerging. Supermarket outlets, modern urban butchers and food service (tourism, institutions) are gaining momentum. Food safety and hygiene standards are generally low in meat industry. Dodoma is setting the pace in terms of having a modern abattoir and changing the hygienic standards of urban retailing. Food service industry is importing from Kenya, South Africa, New Zealand of processed meat products. The Tanzania urban market for red meat is growing. Urban working class is ready to pay premium prices for quality meat. The industry lacks market-driven skills and manpower development system in meat production and processing The extension system to support livestock production is inadequate. Red Meat Sub Sector Dynamics Red meat sub sector is defined in this study to include meat from cattle, sheep and goat, as well as live animals sold for the same purpose both locally and in the export market. The study has not Tanzania Red meat for local and export markets Sub Sector Analysis MMA - CDP May 2008 Draft report viii

9 analysed the processed meat products such as sausages as well the processing of hides and skins. The emerging sub sector map reveals two principal channels through which red meat moves from the farm to the consumer. These are the channels defined by production system and size of enterprises. The first channel is Smallholder Producer driven and is championed by traditional pastoralists and agro-pastoralists who command over 98% of meat production in Tanzania. It is estimated (2006) that 335,000 tones of meat are produced annually in Tanzania. The meat produced by this channel is almost entirely for local consumption. Typical for this channel is that producers are hardly involved in upstream sub sector functions. Traders of different sizes and specializations dominate the interface between producers and slaughter houses / butchers. In Tanzania live animals are traded in primary and secondary markets and from there they have to go through approved slaughter slabs / abattoirs before the red meat is sold in urban and rural wholesale and retail butchers. In the smallholder channel there is an emergence of innovative traders particularly in the Lake Zone who have started to small scale fattening operations before the animals are sold to the secondary markets. The small holder led channel is the also championing cross border trade of essentially live animals through specialised traders. Cross border trade with Kenya as indicated in the previous chapter is the most developed market outlet. The second channel is medium/large scale producer driven and was in the 1980 s dominated by state run commercial ranches. As indicated earlier divestiture of state run ranches is ongoing and their importance is declining. With 11 state run ranches there was a potential to carry up to 90,000 cattle and able produce 1500 tones of beef per annum. The government has also invested in a number of abattoirs, 2 of which are large scale modern ones able to process for export market standards. These infrastructures are also in the process of forging public-private partnerships. Currently the private sector is coming in with integrated large scale ranching and fattening operations combined with modern abattoirs where they process red meat for urban up market (individuals and institutions) and export market. Currently there are large scale integrated ranches in Morogoro, Sumbawanga and Arusha. The red meat sub sector is supplying the processing industries which are coming up in Tanzania but still at nascent stage compared to the neighboring countries. Due to this we have observed that Tanzania is a net imported of processed meat mainly from Kenya, South Africa, and New Zealand. Sub sector constraints and opportunities There are various constraints hampering the development of the sub sector but there are also ample opportunities to explore for the betterment of the sub sector. The major constraints include: Unpredictable amount of rainfall; The low genetic potential of indigenous livestock; Frequent occurrence of diseases and weak disease control capacity; Shortage of breeding stock; underdeveloped market infrastructure; Unfavourable cross-boarder trade environment; Absence of effective market information flows; Inadequate standard abattoirs/ slaughterhouses and meat processing facilities; Unavailability of appropriate financial services packages; Weak producer and trader organisation; Supportive Policy intentions are yet to be Tanzania Red meat for local and export markets Sub Sector Analysis MMA - CDP May 2008 Draft report ix

10 implemented; Overgrazing which leads to land degradation; Lack of business mindset in livestock communities (tradition not business ). There are also a number of opportunities, which includes; Large herd on Indigenous stock; land resource base; Diverse & favourable climatic and agro ecological zones; Availability of good practices in production management; Growing local urban market; Unmet export market demands; Growing private sector investments in modern abattoirs and meat processing facilities; Government willingness to work with associations; Legislation on land demarcation and ownership; Presence of several non state actors in supporting sustainable pastoralism and agro pastoralism in Tanzania. Proposed Leverage Interventions In order to promote growth and competitiveness in the red meat sub sector, a number of generic interventions are proposed to unlock the potential of the red meat sub sector in Tanzania. These include: Product and market development Analyse specific value chains for upgrading Analyse factors promoting unofficial cross border trade and facilitate formalisation Facilitate establishment of effective MIS (Build on LINKS initiative) Disseminate Lessons from Dodoma meat shops upgrading (urban retailing) Follow up and engage with SUA to disseminate & pilot feedlot business model e.g. through progressive farmers, traders, graduates. Review delivery system of production support services (public-private) Promote SME Processors e.g. Maasai Export Butchery model Upgrading of Market Structures Resource base Develop national qualification framework for meat handling vocation skills Facilitate adaptation of good practices financial services Policy thrust Enforcement accompanied by education on the use of standard weights & measures and auction system Training to consumers on food safely regulations (consumer rights) Adopt a step approach towards conformity to standards and regulations Organisation and management Organisational assessment of existing associations Review good practices in livestock sector associations Develop capacity building programme Tanzania Red meat for local and export markets Sub Sector Analysis MMA - CDP May 2008 Draft report x

11 1.0 Introduction 1.1 Background to the study The Netherlands Development Organization (SNV) is an international non-for-profit development organization which provides capacity development services to nearly 2,500 local organizations in over 33 countries worldwide to support them with the fight against poverty. For stimulating Productivity, Income and Employment (PIE), SNV Tanzania has chosen the Value Chain Development Approach as its main framework for analysis and intervention. Together with all actors in the value chain, SNV aims to optimise the functioning of the chain in order to enhance competitiveness, expand production and/or add value to the chain in such a way that it benefits small producers. The livestock is among the earmarked sub sector for consideration of inclusion in the PIE strategy, in line with SNV s support to pastoralist livelihoods in their respective regions in the Lake Zone and Northern Portfolio of Tanzania. The Northern and Lake Zone Portfolio areas of operation includes regions, within which have a significant population of pastoralist and agro-pastoralists whose main source of livelihood is dependent on livestock. The regions are host to more than 6 million people supported by the traditional livestock management system occupying more than 64,789 square km of land in arid and semi arid areas that show less potential for other agricultural activities. Based on existing potential and environmental resources, the red meat subsector was chosen to be the initial focus of analysis of its potential for impact. It is from this background that SNV requested Match Maker Associates (MMA) Ltd in collaboration with Consultants for Development Programs (CDP East Africa) Ltd to conduct the red meat sub sector analysis. SNV specifically asked the consultants to: 1) Undertake a sub-sector mapping to establish the key chain actors and their functions, roles and relationships. 2) Collect data on trends in livestock population and production in Tanzania 3) Assess existing markets in terms of traded volumes, organization, and seasonality in terms of supply, demand and prices. 4) Assess the policy and regulatory environment (e.g. land tenure & use, laws & institutional arrangements) with specific references on pastoral and agro pastoralist activities. 5) Evaluate market dynamics in terms of access to trading information, regulatory environment, socio-cultural constraints and determination of prices. 6) Assess existing marketing support infrastructure (slaughter houses, holding grounds, weigh bridges etc.) in terms of location and operational effectiveness. 7) Assess existing suppliers of BDS, financial services involved, other service providers supporting the chain, the range and outreach of these services. Point out gaps that may exist in the services being provided. 8) Bring up a synthesis of the major opportunities and constraints (SWOT) affecting growth and competitiveness (particularly with the focus on improving productivity of pastoral and agro pastoralist) in the sub sector 9) Identification of leverage interventions to promote growth and competitiveness of the sub sector. 10) Taking into account the objectives of SNV in PIE, make recommendations on what should be the niche for SNVs capacity development services, potential intervention strategies and with which actors for desirable programmatic intervention within PIE in the red meat sub sector.

12 1.2 Objectives and results of the study The scope and expected outputs of a sub sector analysis is generally intended to highlight the dynamics of the sub sector in terms of: Actors, roles & interrelationships Factors affecting the growth and competitiveness (constraints & opportunities) of the various supply channels Quick market scan (exports & national) in terms of critical success factors Identification of potential business solutions that will address constraints and tap the opportunities. Selection of key services with recommendations of strategies for sub sector development (leveraged interventions) The result or deliverable of the study is red meat for local and export markets sub sector report that has assessed the dynamics of the sub sector and is presenting the way forward with respect to the development of the sub sector. 1.3 Approach and Methodology The entry point into the study was to conduct a literature review of existing literatures into the livestock and specifically red meat industry in Tanzania. Tanzania (countrywide) is the proposed intervention area but due to resource limitation, field visits and assessment of factors, actors, channels and dynamics in the sub sector was undertaken in three main livestock corridors in the country namely North Eastern (Arusha and Manyara); Central (Dar es Salaam, Morogoro and Dodoma) and Lake Zone (Shinyanga, Mwanza and Mara). Primary data was gathered by interviewing all (possible) relevant actors for input supplies, research and development, production, processing, marketing and consumption of red meat and red meat products. Regional Livestock Advisors were the team entry points in the regions from which other actors were interviewed. Stockists involved in input supplies of veterinary drugs and animal feed The interviews with these stockists, particularly in main town centres, were important to see the availability and affordability of inputs to livestock farmers. The stockists highlighted various issues related to supply and distribution of inputs, i.e. drugs, vaccination and supplementary feed. Livestock Farmers Interviews with these farmers were important in order to assess current challenges and opportunities in red meat production in Tanzania. Farmers in North Eastern (Arusha and Manyara); Central (Dar es Salaam, Morogoro and Dodoma) and Lake Zone (Shinyanga, Mwanza and Mara) were interviewed. The villages were selected through discussions with the Regional Livestock Advisors. Discussions with the regional advisors were meant to help identify key places to go and key people to be interviewed looking at the pro-activeness of the people, ongoing activities with greater spin-offs to support livestock production and marketing. Livestock Traders The interviews with traders were important to see current challenges and opportunities in livestock trade in the country. The team wanted also to assess the exports (official and unofficial) to neighboring countries of Kenya, Zambia, Malawi, Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi and to Middle East and Comoro. Some of traders who were interviewed included butchers, some of which buy live Tanzania Red meat for local and export markets Sub Sector Analysis MMA - CDP May 2008 Draft report 2

13 cattle and goats / sheep and pay for slaughtering service before retailing, while others buy on wholesale carcasses from wholesalers and retail to final consumers. Key Informant Interviews Interviews were held with Professor Mtenga at the Sokoine University of Agriculture (SUA) who is an expert in Red Meat and has been leading a study to establish the economics of feedlot initiative. Interesting interviews were held with four major abattoirs officials in Tanzania, namely Dr.Omolo and Mr Tilya (Dodoma Modern Abattoir); Dr Mwachambi of Meat Industry Training Centre VETA Dodoma; Ms Happy Ignatius (Production Manager of Arusha Meat Company Limited) and Mr Stanley Maderi (Chairman of Ukonga Abattoir - Dsm). Interview was held with Mr Dereck van Rooyen who runs an integrated large scale animal faming in Morogoro (Tanzania Pride Meat Company). The study team interviewed Dr Rwegasira the current Arusha Municipal Agriculture, Livestock and Cooperatives Officer and Mr. Oloitiptip Ngala Procurement Manager of Kenya Meat Commission (KMC).Through interview with them it was apparent to understand why there is significant cross-boarder trade between Kenya and its neighbours (Tanzania, Uganda, Sudan and Ethiopia). End market interviews were held with supermarkets (Shopritte, and butchers across the regions as well as random discussions with different segments of urban consumers. Potential services providers/ Stakeholder analysis During this study, a number of NGOs such as VETAID Tanzania and CORDS were interviewed. Through these NGOs a number of NGOs supporting livestock development were named and their mandate and coverage identified. It was however noted that most of these NGOs are concentrated in the north eastern corridor specifically Manyara, Arusha and Kilimanjaro regions. Further interviews were held with PASS who works with CRDB Ltd in an attempt to find appropriate access to credit opportunities to finance the sub sector. Other important service providers who were not visited but their detailed obtained from interviews and secondary literature include MS- TCDC, PINGOS, TAPHGO, UCRT Ujamaa, Sand County Foundation, TAHA, IIED East Africa Programme, RECONCILE, The World Conservation Union (IUCN) and Tanzania Natural Resource Forum (TNRF). 1.4 Limitations Due to resource constraints, this study was conducted as a quick sub sector scan of Tanzania red meat for local and export markets. The idea is that if SNV chooses to focus on the sub sector, more in-depth value chain analysis will be undertaken. Essentially, few regions were visited and mostly secondary data is used in this analysis. 1.5 Structure of the Report The report is divided into five sections. Section one gives the background to the study, the study objectives and the methodologies adapted. Section two and three give an overview of the livestock sector and red meat industry in Tanzania respectively. The next chapter (4) assesses and analyzes the sub sector dynamics and hereafter in chapter five, strategies for sub sector development and recommendations are presented.

14 2.0 Overview of the Livestock Sector in Tanzania The Agricultural sector, including livestock, is the dominant sector in the Tanzanian economy, being the main supplier of food and fibre for home use and export. It accounts for approximately 46% of the country s Gross Domestic Product (Economic Survey, 2004) and the main source of livelihood for over 75% of the population in Tanzania. The sector is currently the largest foreign exchange earner accounting for 60% of the export earning. Therefore, investment in this sector remains, as a matter of policy, a priority for the Tanzanian Government. The sector has strong forward and backward linkages with the manufacturing sector, providing most of the basic raw materials and inputs to local agro- processing industries. The major agricultural activities in Tanzania are crop production, horticulture, and livestock farming. As a result of the varied ecological zones, a wide range of crops are cultivated and livestock reared. Traditionally, the major foreign exchange earners have been coffee cotton, and tea. More re-entry export of horticulture and cut flowers have picked as significant foreign exchange earners. Other products exported are beef, sisal, cashew nuts, pyrethrum, fruits and vegetables. 2.1 The Importance of the Livestock Sector In 2004 the livestock sector contributed 4.1% of the GDP and 8.9% of the agricultural GDP (Economic Survey, 2004). The meat industry contributed 40%; the dairy industry 30% and the balance represent the contribution of pigs, poultry and other products and services from the sector (Livestock Policy, 2007). Out of about 4 million households in Tanzania, some 1.8 million households raise at least one type of livestock (NBS, 2002). Furthermore, about 0.3 million pastoralist households depend on livestock husbandry as the main source of livelihood. In a nutshell livestock sector contributes the following to the national economy: Supplies animal food products thus contributing to national food security; Source of income and employment opportunities, mostly in the rural economy. Produces raw materials for local industries, e.g. hides and skins. Produces inputs to crop production (manure) and other industries, e.g. drought power Acts as a store of value and investment channel for rural households; Fulfils cultural roles, which are valuable to many communities. 2.2 Production Systems Livestock production in Tanzania is divided into the traditional and modern/commercial production systems. The former is further divided into agro-pastoral, pastoral and mixed farming sub systems. The commercial sector is further sub divided into large scale enterprises and smallholder units. The traditional sector is the most dominant, for it accounts for over 95% for cattle, over 98% for goats and sheep kept and slightly less for other species (pigs and poultry). Livestock owners in the traditional system keep livestock for multiple objectives, including (in descending order of importance as reported by the BACAS/MLDF study): To generate income Meet subsistence needs, Store of wealth, cash income, Manure and drought, and Tanzania Red meat for local and export markets Sub Sector Analysis MMA - CDP May 2008 Draft report 4

15 Meeting socio-religious needs of communities. Cattle-keeping is the most important livestock production activity, followed by goats and sheep. The traditional production system for cattle sheep and goats is further subdivided into (i) agropastoral, pastoral and mixed farming sub systems. Mixed farming is practiced in the humid zone where farmers are basically crop producers but keep indigenous cattle for many reasons, including getting manure and drought power Agro-pastoralism In agro-pastoralism crop production is the main source of livelihood, however, extensive livestock farming, using indigenous breeds (cattle, goats and sheep) and usually using communal grazing, is important. Agro-pastoralism is practiced in the semi arid zone of Mwanza, Mara, Shinyanga, Tabora, Singida, Dodoma, Manyara, Arusha, Kilimanjaro, Mbeya and Iringa. It is the most important system in terms of land use, number of livestock (cattle, sheep and goats) and production (meat and milk). Due to the variation of rainfall in amount and distribution, availability of pasture varies between seasons, and places. Droughts occur often, in less than 10 years, and the droughts may last for 2-3 years, causing serious losses in terms of depressed production, animal deaths and forced sales with depressed prices at the markets.. To mitigate the variation of feed and water availability, agro-pastoralists practice transhumance, under which the base herd is kept at permanent homes but other animals are moved away in search of grazing during the dry season Pastoralism (see photo in SOA report) Tanzania Red meat for local and export markets Sub Sector Analysis MMA - CDP May 2008 Draft report 5

16 Under pastoralism livestock husbandry (keeping of cattle, sheep and goats) is the most important source of livelihood. It is usually practiced in the more arid lands, where crop production is extremely hazardous due to low rainfall (less than 600 mm a year) and frequent droughts that occur every 3-5 years. Key Characteristics of the pastoral production system are:- animals represent more than economic assets; they provide social identity and security; large herds are reared mainly for subsistence, with occasional trading; herds are composed mainly of indigenous breeds; practised on extensive basis with animals depending on natural pastures for feed; mobility in response to variations in climate common. In Tanzania, it is estimated that the pastoral economy is the main source of livelihood for about 0.7% of the population. Pastoralists are found in the semi arid and arid zones of Tanzania, with pockets in sub-humid regions of Tanga, Morogoro and Coast. In recent years pastoralists have moved further south in Lindi, Mtwara and Ruvuma. Pastoralists have adapted to the reality of the dry lands that they occupy, and are able to make meaningful use of what are considered to be hardship areas to support their livelihoods. They have developed extensive traditional knowledge about their environment and have evolved survival techniques that are premised on flexibility in natural resource use, mobility and diversification of herds to insure against such eventualities as droughts, livestock rustling and disease outbreaks. The challenges that face pastoralism in Tanzania arises not so much from the irrationality of the production system as such but mainly from outside forces that are imposed on the system, including frequent reduction of grazing lands for other uses (crop production and conservation), without offering alternative source of livelihood to the expanding pastoral communities The commercial livestock production The commercial livestock production is further sub divided into large scale enterprises and smallholder units. The former was introduced on a limited scale during the colonial period but expanded by the state in the nineteen seventies and eighties. By mid nineteen nineties the public large scale enterprises were performing poorly, both in physical production and financial terms. Most enterprises have been privatized, except for state farms retained to produce improved breeding stock and part of NARCO ranches. The National Ranching Company (NARCO) is a parastatal company mandated to produce beef cattle for the domestic and export market. The eight existing ranches possessed an area of 230,384 hectares, with capacity to hold over 100,000 livestock units. In the last two years, each ranch has been divided into a core unit of 20,000 hectares under NARCO and a number of smaller ranches of 500-5,000 hectares sold to private national investors. The core ranches under NARCO have about 43,000 heads of cattle and 3,025 sheep. The ranches have good quality Boran herd, suitable for upgrading local breeds for meat production. Off take of the ranches at 22% is double the national herd while slaughter weight of ranch bred steers is over 150% of national herd. Apart from the government owned farms, there are a number of private investors engaging in medium ranching and fattening. Some of these enterprises are targeting the upper beef markets in the country (super markets and tourist hotels) and export of beef.

17 2.2.4 Smallholder dairy production Smallholder dairy production, based on intensive pasture and improved dairy cattle (and goats), expanded from the mid eighties in several highland areas by Government with assistance from donors (Netherlands and Switzerland) and working with international NGOs (Heifer Project International, etc) and local ones. The smallholder intensive dairy system is responsible for the rapid build up of the dairy herd from less than 200,000 in the early 1980 to current level of over 500,000 dairy cattle, contributing to 30% of milk production in the country Poultry Until recently, the poultry industry was dominated by the traditional production system, characterised by indigenous chicken that are left loose to fend for themselves. There about 33 million indigenous chicken, mainly in rural areas. There is an increasing demand for local chicken meat, to a less extent, eggs so that the raising of local chicken is boosting incomes for smallholders, especially after a break through in the control of Newcastle Disease in rural poultry. The traditional system is constrained by diseases and predation. In the last decade private investment has expanded the modern poultry sub sector, responding to the rapid rise in demand for poultry meat and eggs, especially in the expanding urban centres. The modern sub sector raises about million poultry a year (MALD, 2007). Most poultry are kept in small farms of 500-3,000 birds at a time, but there are a few larger scale poultry farms, fully integrated from production to marketing of processed poultry meat and eggs. Due to low performance of the breeding farms about 8-12 million day-old chicks are imported a year (MALD, 2007). The commercial industry in constrained by scarcity of good quality feeds, scarcity of capital and managerial capacity to operate large poultry farms. Supermarkets and tourist hotels are still importing eggs and poultry meat to supplement local supplies, when veterinary restrictions are not in force The pig industry There are about 1 million pigs in the country. There has been a rapid increase in pig production in the last two decades due to surging demand for pork in restaurants and bars. The industry is constrained by high cost of feeds and frequent outbreaks of epidemics (African swine fever). 2.3 Resources Land Tanzania has about 900,000 km 2 of land of which 600,000 km for and grazing, as indicated in Table 2 below: Table 2: Grazing land by rainfall zones Zone Sq.

18 Theoretically there is enough land to accommodate the present herd of grazing livestock of about 17 million Tropical animal Units (TLPs). The overgrazing problem prevalent in the main ruminant livestock raising areas in arid and semi arid areas and land use conflicts in humid areas are basically caused by poor distribution of the livestock, with concentration of animals in areas with water and free from tsetse flies Livestock There are about 18.8 million cattle, 12.1 million goats, 3.6 million sheep, a million pigs and 60 million chickens (Njombe et al, 2008). Most of the livestock are of indigenous types, well adapted to the prevailing low level of feeding, endemic animal diseases and general husbandry practices. The most important livestock, in terms of output of animal products and services, are cattle, goats, sheep and poultry. There are about 500,000 improved dairy cattle, 150,000 beef cattle and 30 million poultry (Draft Livestock Policy, 2007) Human resources There are several livestock raising communities with many skilled men and women who love raising livestock and have accumulated valuable knowledge and experience in managing stock under serious challenges of prevailing production environment. However, most livestock owners lack relevant modern skills in livestock production, marketing and processing. The young ones among these communities have received primary, and a few secondary, education which can facilitate adoption of improved livestock farming practices. The literacy rate among pastoral communities is low. This places considerable disadvantage on pastoral communities. 2.4 Institutional Framework and Policy Policy There is increased Government interest to make the livestock sector vibrant and expand production and productivity on a sustainable basis. The Mission of the Ministry of Livestock Development and Fisheries is stated to be: To ensure that livestock resource is developed and managed sustainably in collaboration with other stakeholders for improved human livelihoods On the policy front the Ministry Livestock Policy of 2007 has the following objectives: (i) Contribute towards national food security through increased production, processing and marketing of animal protein to meet national nutritional requirements. (ii) Improve standards of living of people engaged in the livestock industry through increased income generation from livestock. (iii) Increase the quantity and quality of livestock and livestock products as raw materials for local industry and export. (iv) Promote integrated and sustainable use and management of natural resources related to livestock production in order to achieve environmental sustainability. (v) Strengthen technical support services, develop and introduce new technologies and human resources development within the livestock industry. Tanzania Red meat for local and export markets Sub Sector Analysis MMA - CDP May 2008 Draft report 8

19 (vi) Promote production of safe and quality foods of animal origin in order to safeguard consumers. (vii) Mainstreaming of cross-cutting and cross-sectoral issues such as gender, HIV/AIDS, land and environment. (viii) Reduce both the use of imported energy, over exploitation of forest products and the human drudgery by increasing the use of draught animal power and biogas. The Local Government Reform Programme implemented since 1998 has transferred decisions on development to the lowest level of Government. The goal is to improve participation of most people in decisions that affect their livelihood, including provision of services to livestock and livestock farmers. This move should benefit livestock communities, especially in districts where pastoralists and agro-pastoralists form an important component of the population. However the reverse seems to be happening in districts where livestock farmers are the minority, especially conflicts in land use and allocation of budgets. Another challenge is related to striking a balance between the needs and priority of the sector ministry (reporting on sector issues, implementation of regulatory functions and staff development) and those of the district councils. In order to facilitate improved services and support to the sector, the Government has created a separate ministry of Livestock Development and Fisheries with a fully fledged Department of Traditional Production Systems and Pastoralism. The department is to support reform and development in the dry grazing areas where over 90% of cattle, sheep and goats are kept and where the agro-pastoralists and pastoralist earn their livelihoods. Additional impact is expected to come from district development projects under local councils where more than 70% of public (national and donor) budgets are allocated and the voice of livestock herders is expected to have more impact than before. The Agricultural Sector Development Strategy (ASDS) is another important milestone of government commitment towards supporting the sector. The objective of the ASDS is to create an enabling environment for improving agricultural productivity and profitability, for improving farm incomes, for reducing rural poverty and for ensuring household food security. At the heart of ASDS is a sector-wide approach to: i) Changing the function of central government from an executive role to a normative one, ii) Empowering local government and communities to reassume control of their planning processes, and iii) Establishing an enabling environment which attracts and encourages private sector investment in agriculture, (MALD,2003) A follow up to the ASDS was the launching of the Agricultural Sector Development Programme (ASDP) in The programme supports Government policies and strategies of: iv) a focus on poverty reduction; v) the decentralisation of many public sector responsibilities to local government authorities, vi) increased participation and involvement of local communities in decision making; and vii) a shift towards private sector leadership in production, marketing, processing and service delivery.

20 2.4.2 Relevant Legislations There are several legislations relevant to livestock development that have been revised or enacted. The most notable are: The Veterinary Act No. 16 of 2003 which among other things mainstreamed the use of paravets and community animal health workers in providing services in rural areas. Although not many pastoral areas have utilized the provisions of the law yet, the possibility for training and using para-vets as a strategy to increase and improve availability of veterinary assistance in remote areas is facilitated by the law. The Meat Industry Act 2006 which provides, among other things, for the establishment of the Meat Board and other stakeholder organizations to promote production, processing and marketing of meat and meat products. Further, the act formalises and enhances the role of the private sector in the development of the sub sector. The implementation of this Act is at its inception phase. The Grazing and Animal Feeds Act (in preparation) which is intended to promote the supply of good quality animal feeds and promote and control the use of grazing land for the interest of livestock herders and sustainable natural resources use. 2.5 General Constraints Despite the potential that exists for further development of the livestock sector, there are considerable constraints as indicated below: Land, Water and Pastures Most livestock depend on communal land use for grazing. Although the system has existed for many years, it is facing a fundamental problem of lack of control to access to the ever decreasing grazing area. This leads to over/use and contributes to recurrent conflicts among livestock raising communities. The problem of decreasing grazing resources is compounded by poor distribution of livestock infrastructure and services, including water, cattle dips and disease control services. The frequent conversion of grazing areas into other uses (cultivation, conservation, etc.) is crating uncertainty among pastoral communities. The uncertainty complicates any efforts to encourage pastoral communities to take a long term view to investing in livestock and grazing resources improvement Types of Livestock and Production Systems Although the country has millions of different types of indigenous livestock, most have low genetic potential for high production and productivity. For example, the indigenous cattle grows slowly to a light mature weight of only kg in over 5 years compared to improved beef breeds (Boran) that can attain kg live weight in about 3 years under low investment improved system. The indigenous goats and sheep grow to only kg mature weight, while improved goats and sheep easily reach slaughter weight of 40 kg in less than 18 months. In addition the quality of meat from local breeds is low against the demand of upper internal markets and export, especially in terms of taste and fat distribution of fat. The local investors in the fattening businesses are reverting to cross bred and dairy bulls. Tanzania Red meat for local and export markets Sub Sector Analysis MMA - CDP May 2008 Draft report 10

21 2.5.3 Livestock diseases Livestock diseases were mentioned as the most important constraints by most livestock owners in the country, BACAS/MLD, Not only are diseases causing loss in production/productivity but also diseases increase cost of production terms of cost of control. Diseases disrupt internal markets (quarantines) and prohibits exports into lucrative markets, e.g. to Europe and S. Arabia. The most important diseases attacking ruminant livestock mentioned in the study were tick-borne diseases, trypanosomosis, CBPP/CCPP, Brucellosis even among pastoral livestock, and Rift Valley Fever. Control technologies for all these common diseases are available and affordable by most livestock farmers. The real problem seems to be failure to mobilise livestock farmers to form viable groups/committees that can mobilise procurement of dip washes, drugs, vaccines and other preparations on the one hand and enforce adoption of the appropriate control measures by members on the other Weak support services Support services to the livestock industry include extension/training in technology use, treatment and control of animal diseases, dissemination of market information and regulatory services. Others include training and consultancy services in small/medium scale business development. Until the mid nineteen nineties the above services were provided by Government. The adoption of the economic reform programmes dictated that only regulatory and control of epidemic diseases remain to be core government services. Extension is still seen as public good to be funded by Government, although delivery need not be done by government. The other services are considered to be private goods that should attract private sector delivery on commercial terms. Currently neither public nor private delivery systems are adequate, especially in remote rural areas of pastoralists and agro-pastoralists Inadequate livestock products processing and marketing infrastructure There is inadequate infrastructure for processing and marketing of livestock and livestock products. There are 405 livestock markets, 22 are under the Ministry of Livestock and Fisheries, including 10 border markets and 383 under district councils. Most of these need improvements on fences, water supply and weighing bridges. There are 13 holding grounds and several stock routes. On all of these water and disease control services are inadequate. There is only one abattoir (Dodoma) certified for public slaughtering for export; another one (SAAFI in Sumbawanga) is the process of being registered. Given the size of the country and infrastructure more abattoirs with export standards are needed in the north and North West. Besides, except for Arusha and Dodoma, all major cities (Dar ea Salaam and Mwanza), municipalities and townships have slaughter facilities far below their need (capacity and hygiene). There is loss of by-products from slaughtering due to poor design of the abattoirs or state of disrepair Scarcity of appropriate financial services In recent years new opportunities for expansion of production, processing and marketing of livestock and their products have arisen and the private sector are attempting to cease the opportunities. Examples including up take of livestock trading by many young traders who only a few years ago were livestock trekkers, the short term (2-3 months) fattening of cattle in the lake Tanzania Red meat for local and export markets Sub Sector Analysis MMA - CDP May 2008 Draft report 11

22 zone and processing of meat in the northern zone to take advantage of tourist hotels in the area. Most of these emerging entrepreneurs are constrained by finance to finance their plans. The BACAS/MLD study referred to above showed that the main sources of finance for financing their ventures were loans from relatives and friends and inheritance. Most respondents stated it was difficult to get loans from conventional financial institutions, due inability to prepare business plans, lack of collateral and the Financial Institutions (FIs) not have the right financial packages for long term financial commitment as needed in livestock projects. Even where stakeholder organisations exist, establishment of saving and credit cooperative societies (SACCOs) had not been given priority Weak Stakeholder Organisations The BACAS / MLD study indicated that although there were at least a few stakeholder organisations in each of the main livestock production regions, most of the organizations were weak in terms of existing members against potential members. Most had weak financial base and were informal, in that they had not been registered into any of the several registration options (cooperatives, association, CBOs, NGO, etc). As most interviewees showed willingness to join if approached, it would appear the low uptake of membership was due to weak promotion and extension on stakeholder organisation as an instrument for capacity building of livestock producers, processors and traders of livestock and their products. Initiatives to revive and strengthen producers and traders associations are now on agenda at different levels.

23 3.0 Overview of Red Meat Industry in Tanzania 3.1 Red Meat Production in Tanzania The Red meat in Tanzania is comprised of beef, mutton and goat meat and accounts for over 74% of all the meat produced and consumed locally, the balance (22%) is covering poultry and pork meat MLD, Beef is the most important meat produced and consumed in Tanzania. For example in 2004 out of about 260,000 tones of red meat produced, 185,000 tones were beef and 75,000 tonnes was mutton. The meat produced locally comes from the 18.8 million cattle, 13.6 million goats and 3.5 million sheep raised almost in all regions of Tanzania Meat Production in the Traditional Sector Almost all the red meat comes from indigenous cattle sheep and goats raised under the traditional production system in semi arid and arid areas. However, the distribution of cattle, sheep and goats varies between regions, depending on the differences on climate, prevalence of debilitating animal and human diseases and tradition for keeping livestock. The distribution of cattle (indigenous), goats and sheep per corridor is as indicated in Table 3 below Table 3: Distribution of Cattle, Goats and Sheep in Tanzania. ( 000) Corridor/Zone Cattle Goats Sheep No % No % No % Western 9, , , Central 3, , Northern 3, , , South Western 2, , Southern Tanzania Mainland 18, , , Source: Study Team April updated from 2002/03 Census, Based on an estimated off-take of 10% and 25%, cattle and goats/sheep, and the respective carcass weight of about 100kg and 12kg for cattle and goat/sheep respectively, the current (2008) output of beef and mutton is estimated to be as shown in Table 4 below.

The northern corridor is the second biggest producer of meat at 16%. The southern corridor produces the least red meat, mainly due to hosting very few cattle, sheep and goats. However, southern zone offers Tanzania Red meat for local and export markets Sub Sector Analysis MMA - CDP May 2008 Draft report 13

24 opportunities for taking more grazing livestock from further north as it has unused lands suitable for pasture. Indeed, the Government is setting aside grazing areas to receive pastoralists being relocated from the south-western zone. There is substantial potential for improvement of the traditional red meat sub sector through the adoption of improved technologies in production, processing and marketing technology. Meat production can be increased through improved husbandry, particularly adequate feeding and provision of water throughout the year, prevention/treatment of common animal diseases followed by introduction of more productive livestock. The measures need not be elaborate and need to be of low cost, as has been demonstrated on NARCO ranches and some private farms/ranches. The most difficult improvement will be provision of adequate feeding and water during the dry season. But some relocation of the national herd, removal of unproductive animals and judicious use of crop/industrial by products will go a long way towards the desired improvement in feeding. The Government has allocated about 706,800 km 2 for livestock grazing in Mbeya, Coast, Lindi and Iringa regions to accommodate pastoralist displaced from reserved areas, MALD, Meat production in the Commercial Sector The commercial sector consists of large scale ranches, emerging private ranches and feedlots. About 100,000 beef herd is raised under this system, representing less that 1% of the national herd, but producing a higher proportion of beef (about 3,300 tons) because of the higher off take rate (22% for NARCO) and heavier carcass (150kg). The quality of beef produced on commercial ranches easily grade Special and One*, the kind of meat demanded by the upper markets hotels and export markets. According to the ongoing divestiture programme, NARCO is operating 9 ranches in 7 regions, which together holds a total of 45,000 cattle and 3,025 sheep and goats. Kongwa and Ruvu ranches would be retained as potential disease free areas to be used to quarantine animals for export as live animals or beef. The rest of the ranches have been sub-divided into core ranches of 20,000 ha each to continue under NARCO as modal ranches for the medium commercial private ranches to be established. The remaining areas of the ranches, including the whole of Usangu and Uvinza ranches, have been sub-divided into 500 to 4,000 ha units for sale to investors for ranching. The status of the different ranches and their capacities is as follows in table 5; Table 5: Privatization of NARCO Ranches S/No Name of Ranch Total Area (Ha) Area Model Ranch Area Under Satellite Ranches (ha) No. setelite ranches A.

Besides, the ranches could be testing grounds for technologies to be used in the pastoral areas, e.g. improved range pastures. 3.2 Red Meat Marketing Infrastructure in Tanzania The basic infrastructure for livestock marketing include livestock markets, stock routes and holding grounds, while those for processing meat include abattoirs and slaughter houses. There are about 405 livestock markets, 22 of which are secondary markets under the Ministry of Livestock Development. The remaining 383 are primary market under district councils. There are 10 border markets intended to facilitate and formalize sale of animals to neighbouring countries. The goal has not been reached as until now traders on both sides prefer informal trading. The markets are connected through a net work of stock routes along which check points and holding grounds provide watering points and veterinary check on trade stock. Many of these installations need repair. Most holding grounds and stock routes land has been encroached upon. There are two public abattoirs namely Arusha and Dodoma with the capacity to slaughter about 200 cattle and 200 small ruminants each per day. There are quite a number of privately owned slaughter houses of varying standards and capacity country wide. In general they employ basic and rudimental technology and hygiene conditions are not satisfactory. Dar es Salaam alone has 6 such slaughter houses with capacity to slaughter 720 animals a day as follows: Ukonga (400); Vingunguti (120); Mbagala (70); Kimara (70); Tegeta (20); Pugu (40).

26 Figure 1: Marketing Infrastructure Network in Tanzania 3.3 Meat Processing and Technology training Processing provides opportunities for adding value on the meat and can overcome some barriers to export of meat from the country, e.g. cooked meats. However, processing is undertaken on a limited scale in Tanzania, basically because the technology is new and requires additional investment in machinery and tools. A Meat Technology Training Centre has been established in Dodoma and is now under the auspices of VETA which is being used to train local entrepreneurs on meat cuts technology. The centre started training in 2007 and presently 25 trainees expected to graduate with Certificates in A number of private meat processing plants are emerging. This is creating a demand for quality livestock products, thus motivating livestock producers to increase off take rate and consequently Tanzania Red meat for local and export markets Sub Sector Analysis MMA - CDP May 2008 Draft report 16

DODOMA Meat Technology Training Centre Further dynamics of the red meat sub sector is further analysed by following the different corridors in Tanzania. 3.4 The Red Meat Dynamics in the Corridors and Zones of Tanzania In order to get better insight of the red meat sub sector dynamics, each consultant visited one of the seven corridors/zones. The information obtained during the visits has been integrated with that obtained from literature review to get the national picture of the red meat sector Central Corridor (Dodoma, Morogoro, Dar es Salam) This corridor covers Dodoma, Morogoro, Coast and Dar es Salaam regions. According to the livestock production statistics this zone could be ranked in the middle in terms of its contribution to livestock population. However, when viewed in terms of new technological developments, this zone has made tremendous strides both in terms of installation of modern abattoirs, meat processing and training centre and some large scale fattening and meat processing investments. Kongwa ranch in Dodoma is one of the oldest schemes in the country (since 1947) which has been championing breeding, disease control and management, pasture management and farmer training activities. It is one of the significant R & D centres for livestock development in the country. Morogoro region is also advantaged by the presence of a full fledged faculty under Sokoine University of Agriculture (SUA) that is dedicated to animal science and veterinary medicine research, training and outreach services. Production Population of cattle and sheep in the Central Zone has been increasing in the last five years. Goat production however, has declined over time. Although no precise answer could be established for this trend, the increase is associated with natural growth in population and increased demand pattern particularly in main urban areas. Tables 7, 8 and 9 indicate production per district where data was available and comparison is made with the Livestock census figures of Tanzania Red meat for local and export markets Sub Sector Analysis MMA - CDP May 2008 Draft report 17

In Morogoro area there has been a lot of land pressure due to pastoralists moving from Northern circuit in search of pastures during dry seasons. In 2002 there was a serious conflict in Kilosa district between livestock keepers and farmers leading to losses of lives. In a bid to cope with this migration pressure, Morogoro region has embarked on a massive program for demarcation designated animal production areas / farms at district and lower levels to control land use conflicts. Most districts have been surveyed and the exercise is still ongoing. By- laws have been put in place to guide land use by the settling agro pastoralists. During the field study, it was established that one of the burning constraint in livestock production is inadequate infrastructural facilities to accompany the growth in production. Whilst production has been increasing, the status of infrastructural facilities has remained the same and in most cases the existing facilities are not functioning. The data from Morogoro region explains the phenomenon of declining infrastructure quite well. This is shown in table 10 and 11. As an example Kilombero district required 28 cattle deep wells in 2006 when it had only 1 in place. Kilosa District required 56 wells and they had 43 of which 26 were not working or rather dilapidated. This mismatch is seriously affecting the quality and quantity of animal production.

District councils oversee the operations of these markets and charge a levy and issuing movement permits for the animals to other designated market centres. Primary markets operate with very basic infrastructure. There are few secondary markets in the central zone and these are the main trading points with buyers who in turn process (slaughter) for the local market or export. Dodoma has only one secondary market (359.9 ha) that is strategically located closer to a modern abattoir (figure 2). In March 2008, Dodoma secondary market handled transactions of 5,157 cattle, 2,120 goats and 510 sheep. Tanzania Red meat for local and export markets Sub Sector Analysis MMA - CDP May 2008 Draft report 19

30 Dodoma is also advantaged to have a Meat Technology Training Centre offering vocational training covering such areas as hygiene and safety, slaughtering, cutting and de-boning, processing of byproducts, and main products such as sausages, abattoir management and shop management. These are critical skills that are lacking in the industry. Apart from training, the centre slaughters about 15 animals per day that are supplied by Kongwa ranch and traded in Dodoma & Dar es Salaam markets at premium prices. Figure 2: Dodoma Abattoir Wholesale and retailing Generally primary and secondary markets are frequented by traders of different sizes. It was established that animals may change hands four times before reaching the final buyers. There are four kinds of buyers in the secondary markets. One type is the Large Scale buyers licensed by Ministry of Industry and trading in different markets in the country. These buyers often integrate the business of buying and transporting of animals to main urban markets such as secondary Pugu market in Dar es Salaam. The second type of traders are those operating butchers in urban areas and buying animals from secondary markets; slaughtering in the abattoirs and transporting to their shops for retailing. The third type of traders is those large scale exporters who are specialising in high quality animals for export either live or processed. From Dodoma secondary market it was established that there are traders exporting to DRC, Dubai and Kuwait and in the past years life animals to Comoro. The fourth category of traders are the large scale farmers cum processors, who buy animals from secondary or primary markets, fatten them and process them in their abattoir or through Dodoma abattoir for urban and export markets. Mtibwa Sugar Company has been buying animals from Kongwa ranch and from other markets for fattening on a pilot project for processing for the supermarkets (Shopritte) in Dar es Salaam. The pilot project has just been concluded and plans are underway to establish own wholesale and retail outlet in Dsm. The other well established farm is Tanzania Pride Meat Company in the outskirts of Morogoro who run a large scale ranch and fattening operation with a modern abattoir for red meat processing for marketing to urban areas. They are also involved in large scale poultry farming. Producer and Trader Organisations Organisation of producers and traders is at infancy stage in the Central zone. During the study we met some leaders of livestock butchers and traders association as well as livestock producers association of Eastern Zone (UWAKAMA). The traders / butchers association in Morogoro urban is over 20 years old but still fragmented with members entering and leaving it. Recently members of this association have participated in meetings to form the national association. The livestock producers association is at its inception stage following the national movement to form and strengthen associations in different zones of the country. One of the entry points in strengthening the sub sector is to organise the actors and this area is quite weak at the moment.

31 3.4.2 North-eastern Corridor Production Pastoralists account for over 80% of livestock keepers in the north eastern corridor of Tanzania. The pastoralists (mainly Maasai and Barabaig) have developed strategic and tactical behaviours well adapted to the environment in which they live and work and in order to maximise the production of milk and meat. The main strategies include the following: Well planned and purposeful movement of livestock (and people) for optimum use of the temporal and spatial variations in availability of pasture and water as well as avoidance of certain endemic diseases. The division of labour within households reflecting different labour needs of the households ( women milk animals and look after calves and sick animals, young boys and girls herd livestock in nearby grazing lands, while the warriors (moran) take herds far while elders look after the affairs of the community, including guidance on movement of stock for longer periods). Structuring the herds for maximum number of milk giving cows and keeping of more males cattle in order to avoid sale of females when emergencies strike, e.g. during drought. Recent census in Manyara and Arusha regions has indicated that there are over 2.5 million local cattle in the north eastern corridor of Tanzania, most of which are kept by pastoralists as shown in Table 12 and 13 below.

32 Pastoralist 1 communities in north eastern Tanzania are very diverse, in terms of their locations, ecological niches and cultures, but share a common burden of poverty, marginalization and underdevelopment. Some of the major issues facing these pastoralists include: Conflicts and insecurity Inadequate livestock marketing system Land tenure system, specifically a failure to defend customary tenure Under-provision of social services Poor transport and communications infrastructure Inadequate provision of water and animal health services Droughts and dependence on food aid Corruption and poor local governance There are individual livestock keepers and groups of businessmen who feedlot their animals before selling and others have started crossbreeding their local stocks with beef cattle (Sahiwal & Boran spp) from Kenya. Trading in Livestock and Meat There are three main sources of meat supply for the north eastern region in Tanzania: Slaughter stock from pastoral areas within the zone (Longido, Kiteto, Simanjiro and Same) within the zone. Slaughter stock from agro-pastoralists and mixed farming areas within the zone ( Mbulu, Hanang, Arumeru, Moduli, Babati, Hai, and Same) Stock from the lake and central zones (Singida, Dodoma, Shinyanga, Mwanza, and Mara) Chilled/frozen meat, and processed meats imports (Kenya and South Africa), mainly for the supermarkets and tourist hotels. Supply of trade stock is mainly dictated by cash needs of livestock keepers (food, school fees etc.), threat from grazing shortage/drought, and veterinary quarantines. By en large the zone is a net importer on slaughter stock and meat. Most marketing begins with local livestock keepers who sell to local traders (country buyers) in the primary markets. However, often local traders normally buy cattle, she and goats from local livestock keepers at the farms. Cattle are driven to primary livestock markets by livestock owners and country traders. Buyers at primary markets are traders to transport (in droves of head) to the secondary livestock markets, butchers for local meat trade and farmers who are building their herds. The animals intended for the secondary markets are moved on hoof (trekked) or on lorries (trucked). The animals may be bought and sold several times before reaching their destination, with each trader specialising in a single stage of the market. In this way traders, using the best 1 Key Characteristics of the Pastoral Production System include; Animals represent more than economic assets; they provide social identity and security; Large herds are reared mainly for subsistence, with occasional trading; Herds are composed mainly of indigenous breeds; Practised on extensive basis with animals depending on natural pastures for feed; and Mobility in response to variations in climate Tanzania Red meat for local and export markets Sub Sector Analysis MMA - CDP May 2008 Draft report 22

33 local knowledge and permitting rapid turnover of capital, thereby reduce risks. Along the journey, the cattle are fed and watered, weak animals are sold and at government designated holding grounds all cattle are inspected, dipped or vaccinated by veterinary officials. The trade stock from primary markets may end up in the secondary livestock markets (Kisarani, Wer Weru and Pugu). Here brokers or "landlords" put buyers in touch with sellers and provide some of the finance required to handle the cattle between arrival and the retail sale of the carcasses. These landlords provide accommodation to the livestock sellers from upcountry, arrange introductions and provide guarantees for payment at agreed prices. Most buyers at secondary markets are wholesalers of meat in big municipalities/cities, although some resell to subsidiary markets. Animals intended for trade across the border are treated as per import conditions imposed by the importing country. If travelling via official corridors for export, they are taxed at the borders. Often livestock intended for trade across the border are not identifies as such but moved to border areas before they are moved illegally across the border. The extent of illegal export could not be established but it is thought to be substantial. Abattoirs and slaughter slabs Arusha region has two abattoirs that can also process meat located in Arusha Municipality and several small abattoirs in townships and hundreds slaughter slabs in rural areas. The two modern abattoirs in Arusha are the Arusha Meat Company Limited (AMC) owned by Arusha Municipal Council and Happy Sausages which is private owned. AMC Ltd has a capacity to slaughter 600 cattle, and 300 goats per day, although it runs under capacity for most of the time in a year. Recent records 2 indicate that in January 2008 AMC slaughtered 4,004 cattle, 981 goats and 2,768 sheep. Most of these are brought by butcher- men from around Arusha Municipal and its vicinity who pay for the services and then supply the meat into their butcheries. A few animals that directly belong to the Company are also traded to butchers or processed into meat cuts and sausages. AMC has a retail outlet within the facility premises. Ministry of Livestock and Fisheries Development has plans to build one meat processing factory in at Themi which intill recently was used as a holding ground (10,000 hectares). All meat consumed in the rest of the region and zone is obtained from local slaughter slabs. Some slaughter slabs are private own and quite modern in terms of access to water and working equipment, whereas some are owned by LGAs and most with basic facilities. For instance, the Ngaramtoni slaughter slab is built on village land by private owner, whereas the Tengeru town centre slaughter slab is built on village land by meat traders association with support from LGA (70 corrugated iron sheets) and Local Government Capital Grant (LGCG). There are also private owned slaughter slabs which are registered by the LGA but are used by owners only. Butchers The stock which is slaughtered locally ended up in butchers in town centres in the north eastern region. Generally, one can categorise butcheries in the region into four major classes based on the 2 Arusha Regional Livestock Advisor report on Livestock investment possibilities, Feb 2008 Tanzania Red meat for local and export markets Sub Sector Analysis MMA - CDP May 2008 Draft report 23

34 income class of the clientele. These are high, middle, low and extra low classes. This classification is however not rigid and neither is it recognised by the licensing agents (LGAs). High-class butcheries serve high-income consumers in major urban centres (such as Arusha city) and tourism industry (tourist hotels). They are distinguishable from the other classes in that they sell meat in special cuts and at times with proper packaging. The butcheries can sometimes placed inside supermarket e.g. Shoprite. Some high-class butchers are owned by big companies such as Happy Sausages Limited, Meat King, etc. These butcheries mainly obtain carcasses from their own slaughterhouses or from AMC slaughterhouse. Other butcheries are owned and used privately by SMEs such as Maasai Export Butchery Limited and Matotos Butchery in Arumeru district. Interestingly, Maasai Butchery supplies meat cuts to Shoprite and tourist hotels (Ngurdoto Mountain Lodge, Impala, etc). The animals slaughtered in these slaughterhouses are usually from well-bred indigenous or exotic stock, from private feedlots and from commercial ranches such as Manyara and West Kilimanjaro. High-class butcheries serve a small portion of the red meat market, mainly high-class hotels and restaurants in the city, and wealthy individuals. Some of these butcheries also sell game meat. They mainly buy the high grade of beef, which they sell in special cuts such as T. Bone, Fillet, Sirloin, Osso Buco, Brisket sliced, etc at an average price of TShs 6,000 per kg. Middle class butcheries serve middle-income population such as workers in urban centres and above average income rural farmers and labourers. These butchers also wholesale to hotels, restaurants, and popular known nyama choma pubs. Arusha is one of the biggest hubs of nyama choma in the north eastern region of Tanzania. A few of these butcheries sell meat in special cuts but these are not as diverse as those sold in high class butcheries. They mainly buy the cattle themselves and use slaughterhouses in the vicinity of their outlets and sell meat at an average price of TShs between 2,500 and 3,000 per kg. The low class butcheries serve the lower income bracket in urban and rural areas. This class of butcheries mainly buys the standard and low grade of beef including offal with a small proportion of the commercial grade. They sell it at an average price of TShs 2,000 2,500 per kg. Their main sources of carcass include local slaughter slabs and Arusha Meat Company slaughterhouse. The extra low class of butcheries services the slums such as dwellers in Kambi ya Fisi, Unga Limited, Majengo in Arusha Municipality. This class specialises in offal and commercial grade of beef. Sale of un-inspected meat and of dubious quality is not uncommon. Most of these butcheries are not licensed and, strictly speaking, they are merely meat kiosks. A kg of beef sells at an average price of between TShs 1,200 and 2,000. Cross-boarder to Kenya The dynamics of livestock and red meat marketing trends in north eastern Tanzania are influenced by regional export-driven markets. The regional dynamics are depicted in figure 3 below. The fact that Sudan, Tanzania and Ethiopia have the highest herd of cattle in Africa makes eastern Africa to be the biggest hub in red meat regional and export market. Also due to the civil wars in Sudan and Somalia, and the fact that Nairobi and Addis Ababa have robust air freight infrastructure, the red meat marketing is concentrated in the two cities.

36 Producers and Traders Associations There are several traders associations in every district in north eastern Tanzania, at least two per district. However, they are at a very infant stage and some are not even formally registered. The formation of national associations namely TALIMETA and TAMEPA has triggered speed formation and registration of regional and local traders associations. During this study the following associations were recognised; UWANA UWANYAMA Mbulu Distict Council Babati Town Council Longido Most if not all of these associations are weak and need capacity building Lake Zone Corridor Production The Lake corridor comprises the regions of Mara, Mwanza, Shinyanga, Tabora and Kigoma. The study consultant visited only the first three regions. In this corridor three agro-climatic zones are predominant and these are: Sub humid: the highlands along the shore of Lake Victoria and Kigoma region. Semi arid: the central lowlands of Kagera, central Tabora, Shinyanga and Mara regions, and Arid in the eastern belt of Mara, Shinyanga and Tabora regions. The red meat sub sector is centred in the semi arid and arid belts of the corridor and therefore the report will concentrate on the two agro-climatic zone. In terms of cattle, goats and sheep populations, the corridor has about 9,.2 million cattle, 5.1 million goats and about 1 million sheep or about 49%, 34% and 27% of the cattle, goats and sheep populations of Tanzania mainland, as summarised in table 14 below.

37 livestock owners are sedentary in villages but a few practice transhumances, with all livestock at the homestead during the wet season but with part of the herds moved away in search of water and grazing during the dry season. There are very few pastoralists in corridor utilising the eastern part of the low lands in the east, bordering with the Serengeti National Park. The biggest challenge in the corridor is the overgrazing noticeable in most semi arid and arid areas in the zone, especially in Shinyanga and Mwanza regions. There are simply too many grazing livestock on the land. Other problems identified by producers are (a) scarcity of water for people and livestock, (b) animal diseases, especially tick-borne diseases and (c) scarcity of support services, especially veterinary and extension services. The support services are weak due to shortage of public employed technical and professional staff, deteriorating support infrastructure (veterinary clinics, dips, water dams/chacos) and operating funds. On the other hand there are few private service providers in the zone. Even inputs retailing stores are available in major urban centres only but very few in remote areas. There are few NGOs supporting livestock in the zone, except religious organisation supporting dairy extension and heifer-in-trust schemes. The Magobiro Anglican Centre in Tarime was providing extension services to smallholder livestock farmers. Mabuki Heifer breeding ranch (6,000 ha) had about 2,000 improved zebu (Mpwapwa and Boran) herd and cross breeds. The Kitengule ranching complex in Kagera region has about 25,000 head of improved beef cattle on 171,000 hectares. There were plans to introduce improved breeding in Mwanza and Shinyanga regions by the Ministry of Livestock Development and Fisheries using AI. An encouraging innovation of short term fattening of trade stock using cotton wastes was noted in Mwanza, Shinyanga and to a lesser extent Mara. Traders are claiming to be able to add some 40-50kg live weight per head within a period of 2-3 months by supplementing the grazing with the cotton wastes and salt. The innovation could expand but the operators have limited funds. There is need to check on the quality of the cotton waste in order to provide guidance on feeding levels and avoiding contaminated materials. Smallholder dairy cattle units exist in peri-urban areas and all districts in of Kagera region, Tarime and Rolya districts. The Baraka Sisters have a commercial dairy herd in Musoma. The wet areas have surplus grazing capacity, but are unusable to due high tsetse challenge. On the other hand Kagera pastoralists succeeded to reclaim a large chunk of land from tsetse by using dip washes considered to have only benign impact on the environment. The other challenge is weak tick control. The interviewees reported serious problems with dipping. The biggest problem seems to be organising livestock owners to contribute funds for buying dip washes. Marketing The zone has about half the national cattle herd and about 40% of goat s and sheep in the country. The cattle herd probably produces an off take of 920,000 head, of which possibly 400,000 are traded outside the corridor, the balance being consumed internally. The zone has a big human population and the incomes from cotton, livestock sales and mining make the zone an important market for meat. In addition the zone is surrounded by huge markets in Kenya, Rwanda, Burundi and DRC. Tanzania Red meat for local and export markets Sub Sector Analysis MMA - CDP May 2008 Draft report 27

38 Statistics collected from regional livestock offices established that there are 77 primary markets, 17 secondary and 5 border markets in the Lake zone. The markets are connected through stock routes and holding grounds, usually leading to the northern and central corridors (Arusha and Dar es Salaam (Pugu). The markets visited had brisk business with many livestock farmers bringing cattle goats and sheep for sale. Trading was said to be very active especially when traders supplying markets in Kenya and the Pugu and Weru-Weru markets. At the markets, trading is based on private negotiation between buyers and sellers; auction rings, even when in place, are not used. At the Muhunze market (and others in the zones) there were Garaganjas These are the so called traders who intercept livestock owners just at the periphery of the market and take temporary control of the animals only to negotiate better deals with real traders when the markets finally opens. During trading there is no auctioning; traders and livestock owners negotiate deals privately, informing the market master the number of animals bought and their respective values. Prices were reported to vary with seasons and numbers of traders at the markets. The prices at primary market vary between TShs 80, ,000 for breeding stock to 200, ,000 for steers and bulls. Traders did not complain of taxes, except for traders at the Igoma market who complained for being charged fees while there were no facilities at the market. Traders at Muhunze (Shinyanga) indicated they preferred trekking animals to Karatu and on Lorries to Meserani and Weru-Weru secondary markets instead of using Lorries all the way. Slaughter facilities The zone does not have a functioning modern abattoir/slaughter house. The recently privatised uncompleted abattoir at Shinyanga was intended to slaughter cattle and transfer carcasses for processing at the Tanganyika Packers Plant in Dar es Salaam. It was not possible to interview the new investor of the Shinyanga plant to establish future plans, but the completion of the plant and its commissioning will boost opportunities for trade in livestock in the zone. Mwanza city and Bukoba municipality have improved slaughter houses but most of the equipment and facilities originally installed have gone out of function. Otherwise the status of slaughter facilities in the zone is modest to poor. Cross - border trade Cross boarder trade across the Kenya/Tanzania border in substantial but is not recorded. The Magemi border markets have never operated as was intended as Kenya traders were not interested to come to the Tanzania markets. They prefer to wait in Kenya and have Tanzanian traders bring the animals across the border. Regional authorities in Mara want the secondary market at the Tanzania/Kenya boarder moved south of the Mara River as a way to curb smuggling. Cattle sold across the Tanzania/Rwanda and Tanzania/Burundi borders, but in smaller quantities as across the northern border. Stakeholder Associations There were a number of associations started by traders, butchers and livestock owners in order to channel complaints and lobby for government support through out the zone. The consultant met the leadership of the following associations: Kununua na Kuuza Mifugo Tanzania (KUKUMITA) in Tanzania Red meat for local and export markets Sub Sector Analysis MMA - CDP May 2008 Draft report 28

39 Mwanza, and Musoms Livestock and Meat Traders Association (MULIMETA). The association membership was still small relative to participants in the trade. The association were still concentrating on lobbying and channelling complaints to authorities. Some identified need for strengthening in terms of training in group dynamics and market linkage South-Western Corridor The South Western Corridor consists of the semi arid lowlands of Rukwa, Mbeya, Iringa and Ruvuma regions. The zone has substantial feeding resources, including grazing, crops by products (maize and rice bran, rice and maize straws and sunflower cakes). The zone has a livestock population of about 2 million cattle, 1.6 million goats and 150,000 sheep. In the last three decades the zone was host to frequent seasonal migration of thousands of cattle, goats and sheep from the Lake Zone that created extensive overgrazing and land use conflicts with crop farmers. Since last year migration into the zone has been banned and some livestock herders have been moved out of the zone. The corridor has been self sufficient for meat supply and surpluses trade stock from the zone are transported by Lorries or rail by (TAZARA) to the Pugu market. There are 46 primary and only one secondary livestock markets (at Songea) in the corridor. An export abattoir with a capacity to slaughter 150 head of cattle per day (SAAFI) has just been commissioned. The plant has enabled the zone to produce high quality meat for local and export markets. The facility could resume export beef to Zambia, an opportunity which was lost in the seventies. The plant has created an important opportunity for producers in the zone South Corridor The southern zone consists of humid and semi arid lowlands of Lindi and Mtwara regions. The zone is sparsely populated by humans and livestock, partly due to tsetse infestation. The zone is host to the largest conservation area in eastern Africa, the Selous Game Reserve. The population of cattle and shots in both regions is about 100,000 cattle and 300,000 respectively. Although the zone has the lowest concentration of livestock in Tanzania, it has never the less experienced rapid livestock build up in recent decades, particularly the small stock. Livestock facilities in the zone are few, the most important being the Veterinary Investigation Centre in Mtwara and a stock route from Morogoro to Lindi through Mahenge district. The zone has substantial grazing resources but vast areas are infested with tsetse flies. The zone will remain a net import of red meat in the form of live animals for slaughter for some time. Due to low income and high cost of meat, the zone has one of the lowest per capita consumption in the country. 3.6 Summary of key trends Almost (98%) traditional pastoralists and agro-pastoralists Emerging private sector in production, processing and marketing Large number of live cattle exported Tanzania Red meat for local and export markets Sub Sector Analysis MMA - CDP May 2008 Draft report 29

41 4 Red meat sub sector dynamics This chapter presents a synthesis of red meat sub sector dynamics discussed in preceding chapter. 4.1 Tanzania red meat sub sector map Regional markets Kenya, Comoro, DRC, etc Other Export markets UAE, etc Consuming Retailing Exporting Processing Wholesaling Slaughtering Feedlot, fattening Secondary and terminal markets Feedlot, fattening Primary markets Production Across the Boarder Local consumers Integrated butchers Specialised livestock traders Agropastoralists Abattoirs and slaughter slabs Small scale fattening traders Pastoralists Urban consumers Local and urban butchers Wholesalers Supermarkets Commercial Ranches Institutions Integrated large producer-processors, exporters Meat processing industries Imports of red meat Hides and Skins Input supplying Stockists Key CHANNEL I Smallholder producers CHANNEL II Medium and large scale producers Live cattle, goat, and sheep Red meat carcass and processed Imported meat products Hides and Skins Tanzania Red meat for local and export markets Sub Sector Analysis MMA - CDP May 2008 Draft report 31

42 4.2 Principal Channels In this sub sector we have confined ourselves to red meat (from cattle, sheep and goat) as well as live animals sold for the same purpose both locally and in the export market. We have not gone into any detail on the processed meat products such as sausages as well the processing of hides and skins. From the sub sector map presented above two principal channels are emerging through which red meat moves from the farm to the consumer. These are the channels defined by production system and size of enterprises. Within these main channels other channels could be derived. We have termed these as smallholder producer driven and medium/large commercial farmer driven channels. Smallholder Producer Channel This channel is championed by traditional pastoralists and agro-pastoralists who command over 98% of meat production in Tanzania. It is estimated (2006) that 335,000 tones of meat are produced annually in Tanzania. The meat produced by this channel is almost entirely for local consumption. Typical for this channel is that producers are hardly involved in upstream subsector functions. Traders of different sizes and specialisations dominate the interface between producers and slaughter houses / butchers. In Tanzania live animals are traded in primary and secondary markets and from there they have to go through approved slaughter slabs / abattoirs before the red meat is sold in urban and rural wholesale and retail butchers. In the smallholder channel there is an emergence of innovative traders particularly in the Lake Zone who have started to small scale fattening operations before the animals are sold to the secondary markets. The small holder led channel is the also championing cross border trade of essentially live animals through specialised traders. Cross border trade with Kenya as indicated in the previous chapter is the most developed market outlet. Medium and large Scale Producer Channel This channel was in the 1980 s dominated by state run commercial ranches. As indicated earlier divestiture of state run ranches is ongoing and their importance is declining. With 11 state run ranches there was a potential to carry up to 90,000 cattle and able produce 1500 tones of beef per annum. The government has also invested in a number of abattoirs, 2 of which are large scale modern ones able to process for export market standards. These infrastructures are also in the process of forging public-private partnerships. Currently the private sector is coming in with integrated large scale ranching and fattening operations combined with modern abattoirs where they process red meat for urban up market (individuals and institutions) and export market. Currently there are large scale integrated ranches in Morogoro, Sumbawanga and Arusha. The red meat sub sector is supplying the processing industries which are coming up in Tanzania but still at nascent stage compared to the neighboring countries. Due to this we have observed that Tanzania is a net importer of processed meat from Kenya, South Africa, New Zealand etc 4.3 Actors and Functions Input supply Public and private sector actors / stockists are active in the input supply to the subsector. The Livestock Multiplication Units (LMUs) Tanzania Red meat for local and export markets Sub Sector Analysis MMA - CDP May 2008 Draft report 32

43 These are livestock producing centres owned by the Ministry of Livestock Development charged with the responsibility of producing good quality crossbred heifers for distribution to smallholder dairy farmers. At present they hold a total of about 5,000 improved cattle. Steers and bulls from these units are a source of quality beef. The location and the number of cattle in each LMUs is as follows: Mabuki LMU: The farm is located along the DSM Mwanza highway 60km from Mwanza city in the Lake Zone. The Farm can be accessed by road from Dar es Salaam (900 km) or by air, then travelling 60 km through a tarmac road from Mwanza. The farm has an area of 9,793 ha capable of supporting 6,000 Animal units. At present the farm has about 3,000 improved cattle mainly crosses of Friesian, Boran with Tanzania Shorthorn Zebu. Sao Hill LMU: The farm is located in the Southern Highlands, 572 km from Dar es Salaam. The farm has an area of 6,500 ha. At full development the farm can support 4,500 Animal Units. At present the farm has about 2,000 cattle, which are Boran cows, Ayrshire bulls and their crosses. Nangaramo LMU: The farm is located 630 km from Dar es Salaam in the southern zone, in Masasi District, Mtwara region. The farm has an area of 6,175ha capable of supporting 4,000 animal units at full development. At present the farm has about 450 cattle comprising of Aryshire bulls, Boran cows and their crosses. Kitulo Dairy Farm: The farm is located in the southern highlands 980 km from Dar es Salaam. The farm has an area of 5,000 ha with a capacity of supporting 3,500 Animal Units at full development. The farm keeps pure Friesian cows and bulls. At present the farm has about 1,000 cattle. Ngerengere LMU: The farm is located in the coastal zone 150 km away from Dar es Salaam. The farm has an area of 4,562 ha with a capacity of supporting 3,500 animal units at fully development. At present the farm has about 600 Boran cows with Aryshire bulls. National Ranching Company The NARCO ranches have some infrastructures in place. They include slaughterhouses, water points, and cattle handling facilities, veterinary infrastructure, and office and staff houses among others. There are also a number of private livestock farms including the 124 subdivided and subleased NARCO ranches engaged in beef production. Veterinary Services Trade in livestock and livestock products require an efficient veterinary system that addresses compliance to OIE, WTO sanitary and phytosanitary requirements. The structure of veterinary services in Tanzania meets these requirements. Control and eradication of animal diseases has enabled Tanzania to be an eligible trade partner in livestock and meat products. The country has been declared Rinderpest free by OIE in Surveillance and monitoring Animal disease information flow is through a hierarchy with a direct chain of command from the District through Veterinary Investigation Centres (VICs) to the Director of Veterinary Services. There are seven VICs in the country located strategically such that districts can be easily reached. Tanzania Red meat for local and export markets Sub Sector Analysis MMA - CDP May 2008 Draft report 33

44 The District Veterinary Officers (DVOs) report to respective VICs on disease occurrences from field and abattoirs. Zoosanitary Inspectorate Services (SIZ) Zoosanitary inspectorate services have been strengthened in order to control livestock movements and thereby prevent the spread of livestock diseases. Currently there is a network of 36 boarder posts distributed along all official points of entry/exits, 19 quarantine stations, 381 internal check points, 56 primary markets and 12 secondary /terminal markets Production, Feedlots and fattening As indicated through snapshot of the different corridors in Tanzania, production of animals is predominantly by pastoralists and agro pastoralists. With upcoming of large scale private sector led ranches, feedlots and fattening operations are gaining momentum. During the study, it was found out that the business model for feedlots and fattening is not yet worked out especially for its application to small scale farmers. SUA is currently at an advanced stage of implementing a research project to establish different scenario of costs and benefit thresholds. Establishment of this business model would be quite instrumental for the extension services and it is highly recommended that once the findings are out that they are disseminated to the stakeholders. In order to increase production and productivity, in addition to having a business model they are a number of policy related constraints that require attention: Land Rights and the Failure to Defend Customary Tenure Livestock keepers (especially pastoralists in north eastern Tanzania) have been unable to defend their land rights against powerful interest groups. Government, committed to the commercialization of agriculture, has promoted the individualization of land tenure and pastoralists have lost large areas of traditional grazing lands to farming in-migrant communities. Powerful commercial interests including mining companies (Mererani) have also appropriated large chunks of pastoral lands, without compensating pastoralists or allowing them a share of profits generated. This issue is particularly important in Maasailand, where large areas of land have been given over to Wildlife Parks (Manyara region and part of Arusha and Kilimanjaro regions). These bring in very significant tourism revenue for the national economy, but pastoralists are only just beginning to benefit from this and have not been adequately compensated for the way in which these parks have undermined their livelihoods. The destruction of crops by wildlife is a major source of friction between the parks and the people, who feel that they do not receive adequate compensation from the authorities. Currently there is a major dispute between the livestock keepers communities living in the Babati and a private hotel investor over the benefits that the local community get from leasing large grazing area to this organization. In some areas, large government schemes such as the Electricity Project have displaced pastoralists, again without compensation. While these projects have been of considerable benefit to the national economy, pastoralists have been left out. The same is true of irrigation schemes that have helped farmers, but taken critically important water resources from downstream pastoralists. Tanzania Red meat for local and export markets Sub Sector Analysis MMA - CDP May 2008 Draft report 34

45 The alienation of pastoral lands threatens the long-term viability of the pastoralist way of life and is a major factor in the serious conflicts between pastoral groups. Very Poor Provision of Transport and Communications Infrastructure Government has not been willing or able to make the substantial investments needed to establish adequate infrastructure in the arid and semi-arid lands (ASALs). Travelling to most pastoral areas is difficult and time-consuming. Insecurity makes road travel dangerous in some areas. While the vast areas involved make infrastructure development costly, the economic as well as the social benefits of linking up the ASALs are likely to be very great. Inadequate Provision of Water Points and Animal Health Services These are the priorities most frequently cited by pastoralists everywhere. Provision is inadequate while the state has pulled out, the private sector has not been able to step in to serve poor pastoralists. Local and international NGOs, as well as multilateral organizations, have established good programs in all the pastoral areas, but coverage is limited Processing Processing of red meat into different cuts and preparation of other meat products including sausages, salami etc is not well developed in Tanzania. There are emerging integrated butchers who are preparing different meat cuts to supply specific orders for food service (hotels and supermarkets and some institutions). Sausages are processed on a small scale basis and mainly by Happy Sausages (Arusha) and Peramiho Mission (Ruvuma). Secondadry sources of information have established that some large scale investors have undertaken feasibility studies and business plans for launching modern processing facilities in Vingunguti Dar-es Salaam Trading In the red meat trading functions would encompass buying of live animals, and after slaughtering services undertaking the wholesaling and retailing. Formal Licensed) and Informal traders play this role. During the study, it was often remarked that trading chain is generally long, compounded several informal traders / brokers in a transaction. There however specialised traders with track record of integrating trading, slaughtering and owning a chain of butchers. In the wholesaling a retailing scene is the upcoming in some supermarkets (Shopritte in particular) that have red meat processing operations as part of their retail outlets. The same supermarkets are the importers of processed meat products. The main concern from supermarkets is the lack of consistent supply of quality meat. The upcoming large scale fattening and abattoir operations in the central corridor have been working with Shopritte for about one year. 4.4 Market Analysis Export market of red meat Though illegally/unofficial, many Tanzanian cattle are sold live in Kenyan markets. Kenyan market attracts Tanzanian traders because of its high prices and robust export-driven meat industry. Kenya s main export markets for meat products include United Arab Emirates (UAE), Tanzania and Uganda. The value of meat products exported increased from KShs 190 million in 1999 to KShs. 3 Construction of Vingunguti Slaughterhouse, Feasibility Report (PESP04133) Tanzania Red meat for local and export markets Sub Sector Analysis MMA - CDP May 2008 Draft report 35

46 285 million in Indeed some of exported cattle from Tanzania to Kenya are re-imported back in Tanzania as processed meat. The Kenya market for livestock supplies is increasingly expanding both locally and regionally. Nearly all the cattle sourced at Moyale and some of the cattle and goats purchased at Mandera market originate from the Borana and Somali regions of Ethiopia. Small numbers of cattle originating from Eastern Equatoria of South Sudan and the South western part of Ethiopia are routed to Eldoret and Nairobi through Lokichogio and Lodwar. A significant proportion of the cattle in Garissa market come from Somalia. Similarly livestock from Tanzania are routed through Kuria to Migori and through Namanga and Longido and then to the terminal markets in Nairobi 4. Apart from live exports to Kenya, Tanzania s other official export destination of live animals include Comoro, Burundi, Uganda and to Zanzibar from the mainland. Tanzania also exports red meat / carcass to various countries including Oman, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates (UAE), Muscat, DRC and Zanzibar. Table 15 and annexes III and IV provide details on trend over the last five years. From 2002 to 2007 export business of red meat both live and carcass has been growing and during the survey it was established that it can only grow as demand far surpasses supply. For instance whilst in Dodoma it was picked that one exporter of Live Goat and Sheep to Middle East has an established demand of 600 goats to Dubai weekly (Mondays and Fridays) and 200 goats and 10 sheep weekly to Kuwait. This exporter has gone to a stage of establishing a transport facility to the agents in Singida and Dodoma and a refrigerated truck to ply from Dodoma abattoir to Dsm airport. However, his order cannot be met by even 50%. The main constraint is consistent supply from isolated sources.

Burundi, Dubai Zanzibar, (UAE), Uganda Muscat, ,335 DRC, Zanzibar Source: Extracted from Ministry of Livestock & Fishery reports Private sector engagement in the livestock trade is seen as the best option for efficient, vibrant beef export trade, as there is a growing interest from the private sector to invest and engage in the livestock trade. Apart from the policy, Tanzania has already developed strategically trade facilitating infrastructure including livestock and livestock marketing infrastructures. These include primary, secondary and terminal livestock markets, holding grounds, veterinary checkpoints and two modern abattoirs. In addition there is a structured Veterinary Services that facilitates compliance with OIE and WTO/SPS measures. The livestock marketing infrastructures in the country support the supply chain from the producer to the consumer. The marketing infrastructure consists of primary markets (300), secondary markets located in Arusha, Dodoma, Singida, 4 Extracted from Meat production in Kenya (2005) - a report prepared by PKF Consulting Ltd and International Research Network for Export Processing Zones Authority Kenya Tanzania Red meat for local and export markets Sub Sector Analysis MMA - CDP May 2008 Draft report 36

47 Tabora, Shinyanga, Kagera, Mwanza, Mbeya and Mara and 4 terminal markets namely Pugu - DSM, Themi - Arusha, Weruweru -Kilimanjaro and Korogwe -Tanga. In addition there are 13 holding grounds and 10 railway cattle loading ramps. 15 veterinary checkpoints located at regional boundaries and at natural barriers (major rivers). Figure 4: Designated Government Livestock Export Trade Supply Line (MLDF, 2006) Local Market The production of red meat in Tanzania has been growing steadily over the years. The annual increase has not been that much and due to RVF that struck in 2007, the production had to stifle. Production increased by 14% between year 2002 and Most of this was production for local market. If this is the proxy of how the local market has been growing then there is every indication that market for red meat is growing in Tanzania. The urban middle income s growing and meat is a common part of middle income households. Another interesting trend is that good quality meat is generally in short supply and its price has been growing. Urban middle to high income bracket is willing to pay more for good quality meat. The other fast growing market in Tanzania is in the food service industry. Tourism has been growing steadily and hotels and specialised restaurants are increasing annually. This is also evidence by supermarkets coming in to take the market share of the growing demand for quality meat. Institutional markets such as learning institutions, prisons, hospitals etc are growing in the country as well.

48 4.5 Profitability In the TOR for this assignment it was agreed that since this is only a quick scan, profitability analysis would not be undertaken. This been the case it is outside the scope of this assignment to offer a picture of profitability for the different channels in the sub sector. It is recommended that once SNV has decided to continue with the sub sector that detailed analysis of profitability and its distribution among chain actors is undertaken. Furthermore SUA is currently undertaking an economic analysis of production modes with feedlots and fattening as part of it. This study will shed light on the profitability at farmer s level. However, out of curiosity a study undertaken in Kenya on traders profitability have been gathered, which indicates that red meat business is generally profitable (over 25% gross margins) and the return on investment of around 30%. If this profitability levels are taken as good practice in the region, it means it could as well be possible to attain in Tanzania. See annex VI for details. (and report total economic value) 4.6 Sub Sector Support organisations There are a number of non state actors that provide support services to the sub sector participants. MS-TCDC Links with Pastoral Civil society MS-Training Centre for Development Co-operation (MS TCDC) near Arusha has had a longstanding engagement with pastoral civil society and has a commitment to fight for the rights of marginalised communities. In 2004, MS-TCDC teamed up with the International Institute of Environment and Development, based in Scotland and RECONCILE, a regional Civil Society Organisation based in Kenya, to develop and host a generic training course on pastoralism and policy options in East Africa. The aim is to improve participants' capacity to inform and influence national and regional policies to improve pastoral livelihoods in East Africa, particularly on issues of access to and control over natural resources, livestock, health and trade and regional and global interaction. The course attracts a wide range of participants including pastoral civil society leaders, policy makers, project workers and the media. It seeks to change their perceptions and understanding of pastoralism and build their capacity to make the case for pastoralism as a viable land use system. Irish Aid has supported RECONCILE to develop the course material and to test the training packages. The course is taught as an intense 2½ -week training and has been run twice at MS-TCDC so far. There are plans to adapt the course so that it can be taught as part of a university degree course in agriculture and livestock. There has been significant interest from universities such as Sokoine University of Agriculture (SUA) in Tanzania and Nairobi University in Kenya. These universities are looking at the option of teaching the MS-TCDC pastoralism course as a trimester module very soon.

National Producer and Processors Associations (telephone interview with TALIMETA, TAMEPA) 4.7 Constraints and Opportunities Major constraints that hinder growth and competitiveness of the red meat sub sector have been identified during the study. But also opportunities to build upon have been identified as well. Table 16 below presents the summary which was shared and validated with key stakeholders. These constraints and opportunities have been clustered according to the main developmental fields in sub sector development and include: Production management Market access Processing Finance & Risk management Organisation and management Policies and regulations Environmental management Gender issues Other socio-cultural issues Table 16: Summary of constraints and opportunities in red meat sub sector in Tanzania Constraints Opportunities Unpredictable amount of rainfall. Producers often Large herd on Indigenous stock affected by frequent drought spell directly effecting on Land resource base livestock feed and water supply and consequently Diverse & favourable climatic reduced reproduction performance, mortality and and agro ecological zones hence poor growth and condition of the quantity of meat. Availability of good practices in The low genetic potential of indigenous livestock production management affects productivity and quality meat Frequent occurrence of diseases and weak disease control capacity impacts on productivity and market access. Shortage of breeding stock on improved farms and holdings deter innovation and commercialization Unavailability of low cost technologies for harvesting and storing feeds makes production thresholds /economics unprofitable. Production Management 5 Contacts of the Rangelands & Livelihood Taskforce include: Mr Daniel TNTF ( ); Dr Turasha VETAID ( ); Mr Edward PINGOS ( ); Mr Alais IIED ( ); IUCN- World Conservation Unit ( Tanzania Red meat for local and export markets Sub Sector Analysis MMA - CDP May 2008 Draft report 39

50 Market Access Absence of market infrastructure (livestock markets, holding grounds, trek routes, veterinary centres, Standard Weights & Measures etc) reduce marketability and increase losses to producers and traders Unfavourable cross-boarder trade environment and procedures encourage illegal cross-boarder trade which reduce farmers and traders from benefiting from export markets. Absence of market information flows regarding market dynamics ( demand, food safety regulations, pricing etc) The market chain structure is overstretched (multiple traders between producer and consumer- distortion, no added value) Absence of established supply chains (Quantity, Quality and Consistency- QQC) Growing local urban market in light of middle income population growth, responding food service (tourism hotels, institutions) Unmet export market demands and competitive advantage in small stocks and proximity to Regional and ME markets Processing Inadequate standard abattoirs/ slaughterhouses and meat processing facilities do not comply with international and local food safety standards. Growing investments in modern abattoirs and meat processing facilities (Dodoma, Tanzania Pride Meat, SAAFI Meat) offers opportunity for a stepping stone to new technology adaptation Expanding urban fast food chains/consumer preferences. Finance & Risks Unavailability of appropriate financial services packages to livestock farmers, traders and processors, reduces the opportunity of commercialization of their enterprises. Presence of lessons from past attempts by financial services programs e.g. PASS-CRDB Organisation and management Weak producer and trader organisation (vision, market focus, leadership skills) Producers & Traders revolve around conflict resolution and lobbying, with limited attention to business agenda Existence of new initiatives at national & regional and district levels to promote producers and traders association Government willingness to work with associations Policies & regulations Supportive Policy intentions are yet to be implemented (ASDP, National Livestock Policy) and coordinated for synergy Legislation on land demarcation and ownership Meat Industry Act/ Meat Board Grazing and Animal Feeds Act under preparation Tanzania Red meat for local and export markets Sub Sector Analysis MMA - CDP May 2008 Draft report 40

51 Environment Overgrazing which leads to land degradation Prevailing application of drugs and chemical (dip washes) by untrained farmers leads to environmental pollution /harmful disposal Presence of non state actors in supporting sustainable pastoralism and agro pastoralism (VET AID, PINGOS, CORDS etc) Gender Livestock is male dominated (ownership, decision making) Presence of non state actors promoting gender equity and women economic empowerment Opportunity for women to embark on modern livestock husbandry (e.g. feedlots) Others social- cultural etc Lack of business mindset in livestock communities (tradition not business ) Aging farmers and youth opting for non agricultural activities High illiteracy levels among agro pastoralists Food insecurity (arid and semi arid zones) Constant migration in search of pasture and water reduces investment into permanent settlements Presence of non state actors supporting community infrastructure and services (dams, schools ) Learning from good experiences / practices (exposure visits etc) Tanzania Red meat for local and export markets Sub Sector Analysis MMA - CDP May 2008 Draft report 41

52 5 Leverage interventions In order to promote growth and competitiveness of the red meat sub sector in Tanzania, ideally a comprehensive package that would address the constraints identified above and capitalise on opportunities is required. Some of the requirements may take a short term to intervene whilst others may need medium to long term horizon. In deed both public and private sector have roles to play. In order to ream in focused on the main blocks of hindrances and opportunities, four sources of leverage interventions (the nodes that may benefit a wide range of participants) have been identified: These include: 5.1 Product and market development Tanzania faces the challenge of coping with expanding local and regional market demand of good quality red meat. Likewise to be able to improve current traditional practices there is a need to come up with a business model for production, processing and marketing which increases productivity alone the chain and more economic benefits to all participants. In other words there is a need to have an appropriate product market formula in the red meat business. This study has not gone deeper into analysing specific value chains that would optimise growth. This is one area that would require further analysis. The cross border trade is mostly done unofficially and here it may be crucial to establish factors behind this move and create incentives for formalisation. Markets are dynamics and their requirements changing, the current programs providing Market Information services need to work more comprehensively to make it feasible for producers and other actors to have a level playing field in terms of information. It is suggested to build on LINKS regional program. Urban retailing in Dodoma has undergone fundamental transformation in terms of improving hygiene and meat handling. This was possible due to a political will and support package including access to modern abattoir facilities. This is an example to emulate across the country. Alongside this development is the development of basis hygienic/ food safety standard infrastructures. The business proposition for feedlot and fattening is under research by SUA. Once results are out they need to be disseminated. The review of public and private extension services to the sector is key to ensure crucial services are accessible on business like principals. Value addition is also important to earn the country more value than is the case today. Import substitution is possible by promoting local SMEs to engage in meat processing. 5.2 Developing key resource base The key resources that were identified as inadequate in the sub sector are technical skills across different functions (production, trading, processing) and financing mechanisms. Meat handling is not yet featuring in the national qualification framework of vocational skills. VETA in Dodoma has just started in 2007 to build up the training centre in this respect. This requires to be further developed and increased outreach to the much need skills at all levels. The financial services specifically adapted to the needs of the sector enterprise are required. PASS in collaboration with CRDB Bank have run a pilot scheme in the North, but it is far from been adapted as a best practise. Tanzania Red meat for local and export markets Sub Sector Analysis MMA - CDP May 2008 Draft report 42

53 5.3 Policy thrust The challenge in the sub sector is not the absence of policy /regulatory framework and paper, but rather is in the implementation momentum. Enforcement of agreed upon policies is often3abused or compromised. What is needed is enforcement accompanied with education on standard use of weights and measures. Currently the use of live weight for animals is not used and this influences the basis for business transactions in favour of some parties. Consumer safety and awareness should also be promoted to exert pressure for conformity. 5.4 Organisation and management The challenge in the sub sector is unorganised producers, traders and processors. Their voice is scattered. Equally challenging is the availability of a business model for organisational development tailored to the needs of the sub sector. It is therefore imperative that the upcoming associations are carefully assessed in terms of their needs and appropriate capacity development measures put in place. These interventions are further highlighted and summarised in figure 5 below and in particular identifying the potential organisations that could play a role in developing and delivering the respective leverage.
