    This is the 18th of a series of Working Papers prepared for the Pro-Poor Livestock Policy Initiative (PPLPI). The purpose of these papers is to explore issues related to livestock development in the context of poverty alleviation. Livestock is vital to the economies of many developing countries. Animals are a source of food, more specifically protein for human diets, income, employment and possibly foreign exchange. For low-income producers, livestock can serve as a store of wealth, provide drau ght power and organic fertiliser for crop production and a means of transport. Consumption of livestock and livestock products in developing countries, though starting from a low base, is growing rapidly.

    In the period from 1990 until 1999 the value of international agricultural trade in the world increased from 680 to 858 billion US$. European international trade of agricultural products in that period increased from 346 to 428 billion US$. Within the region the European Union has the lead in international trade of agricultural products. Countries of the European Union perform roughly 86 percent of imports and almost 89 percent of exports of agricultural products of the European region. Mo st countries in the region are net-importers of agricultural products. Only 12 out of 45 European countries have an agricultural trade surplus. Net-exporters are found all over the region, but main exporters are located in the European Union. Adequate food safety and quality control is an important condition for successful food trade. Large differences in economical development across the region lead to a diverse picture of trade performance and food supply.

The function of extension may be applied to several subjects, both agricultural and non-agricultural, such as health; when it is applied to agriculture, it is called agricultural extension.
