It seeks to do this by identifying constraints that may be contributing to poor performance in the two value chains, evaluating technological options that could improve productivity, and identifying priority areas for future government interventions. The livestock and the horticulture value chains were selected for in-depth analysis because they both are important to Swaziland, and have the potential to become even more important in the future.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOABATTOIRSACCESS TO IRRIGATIONAGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIESAGRICULTURAL COMMODITIESAGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENTAGRICULTURAL FINANCEAGRICULTURAL LANDAGRICULTURAL OUTPUTAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIVITYAGRICULTURAL SECTORAGRICULTURAL SECTOR POLICIESAGRO-ECOLOGICAL REGIONSANIMALANIMAL BREEDINGANIMAL HEALTHANIMAL HEALTH CAREANIMAL HEALTH SERVICESANIMAL HUSBANDRYANIMAL NUTRITIONANIMAL PRODUCTIONANIMALSBEEFBEEF CATTLEBEEF INDUSTRYBEEF PRODUCTIONBEEF VALUE CHAINBENEFIT SHARINGBIOGASBREEDBREEDING PROGRAMBREEDING RANCHESBREEDING STOCKBREEDSBULLSBUSH FIRESCALVESCAPACITY BUILDINGCASH CROPSCASH FLOWCASH-CROPCATTLECATTLE BREEDINGCATTLE FARMERSCATTLE FATTENINGCATTLE INDUSTRYCATTLE OWNERSCATTLE POPULATIONCATTLE PRODUCTIONCATTLE RANCHESCATTLE SECTORCOMMERCIAL AGRICULTURECOMMERCIAL FARMERSCOMMUNAL LANDCOMMUNAL LANDSCOMMUNAL NATURAL PASTURESCOMMUNITY PARTICIPATIONCOWSCROP PRODUCTIONCROP RESIDUESDAIRYDAIRY CATTLEDAIRY PRODUCTIVITYDAIRY PRODUCTSDISEASE CONTROLDIVERSIFICATIONDOMESTIC CONSUMPTIONDRY SEASONSECOLOGICAL ZONESEMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIESEXOTIC BREEDSEXPORT MARKETSEXTENSION AGENTSEXTREME POVERTYFARMFARM ACTIVITIESFARM MACHINERYFARM PRODUCTIONFARM PRODUCTIVITYFARMERFARMER GROUPSFARMING ACTIVITIESFARMING HOUSEHOLDSFARMING SYSTEMSFARMSFATTENINGFATTENING RANCHESFEEDFEED COSTSFEED CROPSFEED MIXERSFEEDER STOCKFEEDINGFEEDLOTSFEEDSFODDERFODDER PRODUCTIONFOOD AIDFOOD AVAILABILITYFOOD CONSUMPTIONFOOD INDUSTRYFOOD INSECURITYFOOD PREFERENCESFOOD PRODUCTIONFOOD SAFETYFOOD SECURITYFOOD SELF-SUFFICIENCYFOOD SUPPLYFORAGEGENETIC IMPROVEMENTGENETIC MATERIALGLOBAL MARKETSGOATSGRAZINGGRAZING LANDGRAZING MANAGEMENTGRAZING PRESSUREGRAZING RESOURCESHERDSHOUSEHOLD INCOMEHOUSINGIMPROVED GENETICSINCIDENCE OF POVERTYINCOME DISTRIBUTIONINCOME GENERATIONIRRIGATIONLAND LAWLAND OWNERSHIPLAND PRODUCTIVITYLAND TENURELAND TITLESLIVE ANIMALSLIVE WEIGHTLIVESTOCKLIVESTOCK DEVELOPMENTLIVESTOCK DEVELOPMENT POLICYLIVESTOCK DISTRIBUTIONLIVESTOCK ENTERPRISESLIVESTOCK EXTENSIONLIVESTOCK FARMERSLIVESTOCK HOLDINGLIVESTOCK INDUSTRYLIVESTOCK MARKETLIVESTOCK MARKETINGLIVESTOCK MARKETING SYSTEMSLIVESTOCK NUMBERSLIVESTOCK NUTRITIONLIVESTOCK OWNERLIVESTOCK PRODUCERSLIVESTOCK PRODUCTIONLIVESTOCK RESEARCHLIVESTOCK SALESLIVESTOCK SECTORLIVESTOCK SERVICESLIVESTOCK SPECIESLIVESTOCK SUBSECTORLOCAL FARMERSMANUREMEATMEAT INDUSTRYNATIONAL HERDNATURAL DISASTERSNATURAL PASTUREOVERGRAZINGPASTORALISTSPIGPIGSPLANT PROTECTIONPOULTRYPOVERTY ALLEVIATIONPOVERTY LINEPOVERTY RATEPOVERTY REDUCTIONPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGYPRIVATE VETERINARIANSPRODUCER ORGANIZATIONSPRODUCTION SYSTEMSPRODUCTION TECHNOLOGYRANCHESRANGE MANAGEMENTRANGELANDRANGELAND DEGRADATIONRANGELAND MANAGEMENTRANGELAND RESOURCESRANGELANDSRED MEATREGIONAL LEVELREGIONAL MARKETSRURAL AREASRURAL DEVELOPMENTRURAL ECONOMYRURAL GROWTHRURAL HOUSEHOLDSRURAL INFRASTRUCTURERURAL POORRURAL ROADSRURAL SECTORSANITATIONSHEEPSHEEP POPULATIONSLAUGHTERINGSMALL FARMERSSMALL PLOTS OF LANDSMALL-SCALE FARMERSSMALL-SCALE FARMINGSMALL-SCALE PRODUCERSSMALLHOLDER AGRICULTURESMALLHOLDER CATTLESMALLHOLDER FARMERSSMALLHOLDER PRODUCERSSMALLHOLDER PRODUCTIONSMALLHOLDER SECTORSMALLHOLDER SYSTEMSSMALLHOLDERSSOIL DEGRADATIONSTOCKING RATESSUB-REGIONSUBSISTENCESUBSISTENCE FARMINGTENURE SYSTEMSTROPICAL LIVESTOCK UNITVEGETABLE CROPSVEGETABLE PRODUCTIONVEGETABLESVETERINARYVETERINARY ASSISTANTSVETERINARY SERVICESVULNERABILITY ASSESSMENTWorld Bank10.1596/12768
