Goat value chains in Yabelo district of Borana zone, Ethiopia: Results of a rapid
value chain assessment
Nizam HusenMulti-stakeholder Workshop for Targeting Action Research on
Lowland Sheep and Goat Value Chains in Ethiopia
Debre Zeit 1-2April 2013
Yabello found in Borana zone of southern Oromia The districts has 13 PAs and 2 urban kebeles Bimodal rainfall pattern main rain season
(March-May) and short rain season(Sept-Nov)Total population of the district is 96,862
(40,502 female and 56360 male)Study Kebeles: Dharito and Elwoye
It is located 567km from Addis Ababa, in the southern direction parts of Oromia with altitude of 1600m asl
1. IntroductionDescription of the study area
April 12, 2023 2Validation worshop-Bishuftu
FGD was made with group of pastoralists composed of men, women, community leaders and youth
Big and small traders, collectors, livestock transporters, experts and extension agents were interviewed
Hotel managers, butchers were also contacted Observations were made to understand the nature of
goat marketing in major livestock markets (Haro Bake and Yabello )
secondary data were reviewed (literature review)

Breeding
• Three types of local goat breeds: Borana, Konso and Guji are available
Introduction of 50%(100% Boer x100% Borana goat) cross bucks by YPDARC recently
There is a general shortage of breeding bucks The community is not selecting bucks for their flock No controlled mating No awareness about inbreeding and its
consequences One buck can serve up to 3-4 years No record keeping about the flock
B. Production
browses of bushes Pastoralists do not have the culture of collecting and preserving neither the naturally grown feeds nor growing forages
During dry seasons they migrate long distance to search water and feed
during dry season acacia pods and leaves are provided if it is available
Feeding
seasonal distribution of feed resource relative to rain fall pattern

Goats are kept in fences that do not have roofing Pastoralists build separate kids houses known as
‘Dhokoba’ some time goats are kept with HH members if
their flock structure is 2-5 The barns/houses are cleaned daily by women
and children
Housing
• The Borana Pastoralists produce goat milk
• Goat milking is the task of women• Goat milk is usually for household
consumption• They do not sell goat milk• One goat can produce 0.33 litter of milk
per a day (on average)• mostly consumed by children less than 5
years when there is no cow milk
Milk production
Producers sell their goats to-traders, collectors, consumers, cooperatives, hotels and restaurants and other
producers. Producers can sell at the farm gate, on the road, and at the market
point

Channel 6:producres big traders live export
The main channels …
processing is mainly carried out by hotels and butchers for local consumption and export abattoirs for foreign markets and super market
D. Processing
Hotels and butcheries slaughter goat mainly to prepare different dishes and to retail raw meat on kilogram basis
Consumption could be by individual households, hotel customers and foreign consumers
E. Consumption
Constraints at input supply and production level
Non market oriented production Lack of feed conservation practices Shortage of breeding bucks No selection of bucks Lack of awareness about the negative impacts of
inbreeding Shortage of vaccines for CCPP, PPR, Sheep and Goat
Poxes High incidence of disease and parasites (CCPP, PPR,
Goat Pox, Senorosis, trypanosomiasis, Ticks, Lice, Mengmites, Hemoncus, )
Constraint and Opportunities along the VCA
Lack of formal market information Long distance of the market from production Seasonality of supply of goat No standard method of selling and buying (both
weighing scale and visual estimation used) High transportation and broker cost per animals Resource based Ethnic group conflict disrupts
the market Shortage of supply of export quality goat to the
market
Constraints at the market level
Borana has great potential for goat production
The core functions, activities and actors in the VC were identified
The major marketing channels were identified
The major constraints and opportunities along the value chain were investigated
Necessary intervention is required
Conclusion
