Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetEvidence-based risk management along the livestock production and market chain
Lao People's Democratic Republic
2019Also available in:
No results found.The demand for poultry and poultry products is increasing in Luangprabang and its surrounding provinces. To meet this demand, the province now imports a large amount of poultry from neighbouring countries. Importing poses a significant risk to the vulnerable local poultry population with the introduction of threats such as transboundary animal diseases, which includes highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI). Luangprabang, located in the north of the Lao People’s Democratic Republic (PDR) has reported HPAI outbreaks in the past and the risk of reintroduction is always high. In order to reduce this risk, the Department of Livestock and Fisheries (DLF), the Government of Lao PDR, and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) have implemented ‘evidence-based risk management along the livestock production and market chain.’ In addition, related activities were also implemented in three high-risk villages of Luangprabang with support from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Australian Government. -

No results found.In developing countries, the success with which rural populations become formal sector market participants is critical to their sustained emergence from subsistence and poverty. The objective of this work, and the larger project from which it originates, is to improve understanding about how markets can act as catalysts for rural poverty alleviation. The larger Pro-Poor Livestock Policy Initiative (PPLPI) project deals with livestock generally, but in the present case we focus on poultry, a cate gory of special economic and public health importance in the Southeast Asian region. This report summarizes results from detailed surveys of poultry markets in and around Ha Noi, Viet Nam, which included separate surveys of six different supply-side market participants (consumers were the subject of a different survey): (1) Chicken Farmers; (2) Chick Producers; (3) Commune Traders; (4) Wholesale Traders; (5) Slaughterhouses; and (6) Market Vendors. -
DocumentPoultry Supply Chains and Market Failures in Northern Viet Nam
Pro-Poor Livestock Policy Initiative: A Living from Livestock
2008Also available in:
No results found.Our farm surveys as well as other research in Viet Nam indicate that poultry production is important for the incomes of the rural poor and it is important to recognize that the poor are involved in all stages of the poultry market chain, not just in production. Poultry market channels in northern Viet Nam might be generalized into two or three major avenues: in one small scale farmers produce local chicken and sell to nearby markets or to urban areas through informal channels. In another, medium and large farms sell through formal, regulated channels such as wholesale markets. In a few cases, large companies have built their own slaughterhouses, nearing complete vertical integration. These poultry markets are at a critical juncture. The newer, more formal marketing chains are considered to be easier to regulate, however, if smallholders and / or small-scale traders cannot market local chicken through these channels, they will continue using informal channels due to the high levels of d emand for the local type of chicken in Ha Noi.
