Abstract
This report was prepared to provide
information and analysis of the Samoan livestock sub-sector
for the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries through a
technical assistance assignment financed by the World Bank.
The Word Bank contributed technical assistance support to
the Government of Samoa to help identify measures to
strengthen agriculture sector institutions, to improve the
performance of selected commodities - including in the
livestock sector - both in terms of import substitution and
export expansion, and to identify strategic agriculture
infrastructure investments. This report provides information
and analysis on livestock inventories, the competitiveness
of Samoan livestock products, livestock slaughtering and
meat hygiene, and government policies and institutional
frameworks needed to enhance the competitiveness of domestic
livestock production. The report also contains
recommendations for the development of a livestock component
as part of the proposed Samoa Agriculture Competiveness
Enhancement Project (SACEP).
