Milk consump3on likely to triple in East Africa Overall, poultry consump3on exhibits the highest rates of growth throughout SSA The consump3on of meat from monogastrics will exceeed red meat consump3on by 2030 in most sub-‐regions of SSA
Dietary shiTs in full swing!

Sustainable intensifica3on will be key to elicit a produc3on response in most regions…
21
– Sustainable intensification (SSP1): > 5-6%/yr
– Business as usual (SSP2): 2-3%/yr
– Fragmentation scenario: 1.5-2.5%yr
– Almost similar numbers of animals
– Largest differences explained by increases in yield
Rates of growth of livestock production

Kenyan milk yield average: 600 kg/lactation
In 20 years at 6%/yr growth rate: 1815 kg/lactation
We need to triple milk yields to be in the game!
The same applies to monogastrics! = most growth coming from larger operations
What does this really mean?

Policy recommenda3ons
31
– Invest in the sustainable intensification of African livestock systems (need to achieve rates of annual growth in productivity of around 6% per year)
– Towards an economic incentives package?
– Interest free credit
– Reduced taxes on inputs
– Preferential conditions of investment for certain types of systems
– Some scope to increase intensive monogastric production
Policy recommendations
32
– Invest in the provision of feeds (feed markets, improved pasture species, etc)
– Invest in land use planning
– Regulate externalities of intensification
– Protect smallholders and pastoralists: they can contribute!
– Invest in animal health research
– Reduce environmental impacts
Policy recommendations
Africa’s challenges are daun9ng but there are posi9ve signs of innova9on ....
• Of the 20 countries worldwide that had more than 10% of adults using mobile phone banking, 15 were in Africa .
• In Kenya, 68% of adults used mobile banking in 2011

Innova3on comes in surprising ways
• Sustainably building African ins3tu3ons and science capability is the main game
