Notas do Editor
1. Smallholder farmers account for majority of national production 2. Misaligned incentives for formal private sector to reach BoP 3. These include extremely weak value chains (Ahmed et al., 2009) 4. Which influences limited access to productivity enhancing inputs and markets 5. Informal or semi-formal collectors are therefore able to manipulate the market, reducing trust and milk quality 6. Government ineffective at improving practices (Jabbar, 2010) 7. Gender norms perpetuate negative pressures on HH quality of life. The impact of these factors is illustrated by the fact that the formal dairy sector continues to import 30% of its milk despite the domestic potential to fully meet existing processing capacity and growing urban market demand.
