No results found.Sub-Saharan Africa has one of the world’s fastest growing human populations, with a rate of increase of 2.6 percent per annum. This is coupled with the lowest average annual per capita consumption of livestock products: 11.0 kg of meat and 27.2 kg of milk, compared with the developing world average of 26.4 kg for meat and 48.6 kg for milk. Growth in livestock production has barely kept pace with the growth in demand for food of animal origin, and per capita production is either declining or only marginally increasing. While expansion of the livestock population can contribute to the necessary increase in output, improvement in the supply of meat and milk also depends critically on increases in livestock productivity, which is generally poor across the region’s various production systems.
