A review of the livestock sector in Malawi in 2021
2022Also available in:
No results found.The livestock sector in Malawi contributes at least 22.4 percent to the GDP (6.6 percent). Despite such a significant contribution to the economy, the livestock sector received only 0.8 percent of the government funding allocated to agriculture annually from 2012 and 2020. However, the livestock sector has a lot of potential to grow and contribute more to the economy. Currently, the sector is not able to produce enough to satisfy local demand and there are many opportunities for the sector to supply livestock and livestock products to external markets. This report captures findings from a review of the livestock sector in Malawi, which was conducted in 2021. Major recommendations from the review are: to increase public and private sector investment in the livestock sector; to increase the number of livestock and livestock inputs supported in the Affordable Inputs Programme (AIP), to create specialist officer positions such as livestock officer (dairy), livestock officer (poultry) in the livestock sections; to increase the number of livestock extension workers by increasing the number of assistant veterinary officers (AVOs) and recruiting at least one assistant livestock development officer (ALDO) per agricultural extension planning area (EPA); and to make livestock sections in district agriculture offices more autonomous for them to have more say and control over budgeting issues so that the livestock sections can be more appropriately funded.
