They serve as the main source of livelihood for a large majority of rural Ugandans, especially in the cattle corridor. Recent statistics demonstrate that the livestock sector contributes 13.1 percent of the agricultural gross domestic product (GDP) and 5 percent of the national GDP. Since 1991, the output of the livestock sector has grown on an average of 2.2 percent per annum, with most of the growth coming from the dairy sector. Dairy is an important and growing sector of Uganda's economy, and it is increasingly proving to be a lucrative livelihood option for a large number of households engaged in milk production and trade. Frequent realization of risks, however, impacts the performance of the supply chain. Effective management of these risks will require increased efforts to mitigate the identified risks and strengthen coping mechanisms. However, rather than a stand-alone risk management strategy, these efforts should be an integral component of a broader dairy development policy and strategy.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOADULT COWSAGRICULTURAL OUTPUTAGRICULTURAL RESEARCHAGRICULTURAL RESEARCH ORGANIZATIONAGRICULTUREANIMALANIMAL BREEDSANIMAL DISEASEANIMAL DISEASE CONTROLANIMAL DISEASESANIMAL HEALTHANIMAL HEALTH SERVICEANIMAL PRODUCTSANIMAL RESOURCESANTHRAXARID AREASARTIFICIAL INSEMINATIONAVERAGE MILK PRODUCTIONBEEFBENEFICIARY PARTICIPATIONBIOGASBREEDBREEDSBRUCELLOSISBUTTERCALFCALF MORTALITYCALVESCASH INCOMECATCHMENT AREACATTLECATTLE DISEASECATTLE DISEASESCATTLE FARMERSCATTLE HERDCATTLE HERDERSCATTLE POPULATIONCATTLE PRODUCTIVITYCENTRAL GOVERNMENTCENTRAL REGIONCENTRAL REGIONSCHEESECLIMATE CHANGECOMMERCIAL MILK PRODUCTIONCOMMUNAL GRAZINGCOMMUNAL LANDSCOOPERATIVE MOVEMENTCOPING MECHANISMSCOWSCROP DIVERSIFICATIONCROSSBREEDINGDAILY BASISDAIRIESDAIRYDAIRY ANIMALSDAIRY BOARDDAIRY BREEDSDAIRY CATTLEDAIRY CHAINDAIRY COOPERATIVEDAIRY COOPERATIVESDAIRY CORPORATIONDAIRY COWDAIRY COWSDAIRY DEVELOPMENTDAIRY FARMDAIRY FARMERDAIRY FARMERSDAIRY FARMINGDAIRY HEIFERSDAIRY INDUSTRYDAIRY MARKETDAIRY OPERATIONSDAIRY PROCESSINGDAIRY PROCESSORDAIRY PROCESSORSDAIRY PRODUCERDAIRY PRODUCERSDAIRY PRODUCTDAIRY PRODUCTIONDAIRY PRODUCTSDAIRY SECTORDAIRY TRADEDEMAND FOR MILKDISEASE CONTROLDISEASE INCIDENCEDISEASE OUTBREAKSDISTRIBUTION OF MILKDISTRIBUTION OF MILK PRODUCTIONDISTRICT LEVELDOMESTIC ANIMALSDRY SEASONEXOTIC BREEDSFARMFARM SIZEFARMERFARMING COMMUNITIESFARMING SYSTEMSFARMSFEEDFEEDINGFINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIESFODDERFODDER SUPPLYFOOD SAFETYFRESH MILKGENETIC IMPROVEMENTGOATSGRAZINGGRAZING LANDGRAZING SYSTEMGRAZING SYSTEMSHEMORRHAGIC DISEASEHERDSHOLSTEINHOUSEHOLD INCOMEHUMAN HEALTHINDUSTRIAL AREALACK OF WATERLACTATION LENGTHLACTATIONSLEVELS OF VULNERABILITYLIVESTOCKLIVESTOCK FEEDSLIVESTOCK NUMBERSLIVESTOCK POPULATIONLIVESTOCK PRODUCTIONLIVESTOCK RESEARCHLIVESTOCK SECTORLOCAL BREEDSLOSS OF MILKMEATMILKMILK COLLECTIONMILK COLLECTION CENTERSMILK CONSUMPTIONMILK COOLERMILK COOLERSMILK HANDLINGMILK MARKETMILK MARKETINGMILK PRICEMILK PRICESMILK PROCESSORSMILK PRODUCERSMILK PRODUCTIONMILK SALESMILK SUPPLYMILKEDMILKINGNATIONAL HERDNATIONAL MILK PRODUCTIONNATURAL DISASTERSPADDOCKSPARASITIC DISEASESPASTORAL AREASPASTORAL COMMUNITIESPASTORALISTSPASTURESPER CAPITA CONSUMPTIONPIGSPNEUMONIAPOST-HARVEST LOSSESPOULTRYPOVERTY ERADICATIONPRIVATE VETERINARIANSPRODUCTION SYSTEMSRABIESRAW MILKREDUCED MILK PRODUCTIONREGIONAL COLLABORATIONREGIONAL DIFFERENCESREGIONAL DISTRIBUTIONRESTAURANTSRIFT VALLEY FEVERRUMINANTSRURAL AREASRURAL DEVELOPMENTRURAL HOUSEHOLDSSHEEPSMALLHOLDERSSPATIAL ANALYSISSTORAGE FACILITIESSUBSISTENCESUBSISTENCE FARMINGTOTAL MILK PRODUCTIONTRYPANOSOMIASISTUBERCULOSISURBAN AREASURBAN CENTERURBAN CENTERSURBAN MARKETSVACCINATION CAMPAIGNVACCINATION CAMPAIGNSVACCINESVETERINARIANSVETERINARYVETERINARY DRUGSVETERINARY LABORATORIESVETERINARY MEDICINEVETERINARY OFFICERSVETERINARY PARAPROFESSIONALSVETERINARY PRACTITIONERSVETERINARY PUBLICVETERINARY SERVICESVETERINARY SYSTEMVILLAGESWILD ANIMALSWILDLIFEZOONOTIC DISEASESReportWorld Bank10.1596/27385
