Synopsis (short abstract) A World Bank-supported study (2016) in Bangladesh revealed that the livestock and fisheries subsectors were underexploited despite being vital drivers of agricultural growth. The Department of Livestock Services (DLS) received USD 500 million from the World Bank to implement the Livestock and Dairy Development Project, designed to target all main livestock value chains in the country. To assist the LDDP, the government requested technical assistance from FAO. The aim of the FAO project was to increase resilient and inclusive agroeconomic growth through strategies and best practices that diversify agricultural production and enhance productivity. Specifically, it would provide technical and methodological advice, coaching and mentoring to the LDDP staff responsible for the day-to-day implementation of the LDPP and the development of specific products and deliverables.

    Albania’s dairy sector is characterized by small-scale farms, fragmented and high-cost production, inadequate feeding practices, and a lack of capacity to ensure safety and hygiene standards. Despite these issues, there is great potential in the sector, and the government has expressed a desire to create a dairy development programme with the ultimate goal of improving standards, increasing the sector’s competitiveness as well as the incomes of dairy producers, and substituting imported dairy products with domestic ones. To support the government in achieving its goal of developing the dairy sector, this Technical Cooperation Programme (TCP) project was formulated. It aimed to assess and create a deeper understanding of the dairy value chain in Albania and to equip farmers with essential knowledge and skills to maintain high standards of hygiene, optimize feeding practices, and improve marketing strategies for their dairy products.

    The livestock sector in Bangladesh is characterized by several challenges, including poor practices along the value chains; weak value chain organization and infrastructures; low risk management; low quality services; and a lack of proper policies and legislations. In addition, high incidence of different important animal diseases; poor technology adoption; low-quality feed and feeding; insufficient improved breed; inappropriate good management practices; inadequate business plans and market linkages; gender inequality, among others, are further limitations on livestock production in Bangladesh. It is well recognized that unlocking the growth potential of the livestock sector may require a holistic approach, and multiple interventions to address these challenges are required. In this context, the Department of Livestock Services (DLS) of the Ministry of Fisheries and Livestock (MoFL) received funds from the World Bank to implement the Livestock and Dairy Development Project (LDDP), targeting all main livestock value chains in the country. Against this background, the Government of Bangladesh requested that FAO provide technical assistance to the DLS to implement the LDDP.
