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).en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOABATTOIRSACCURATE INFORMATIONAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONAGRICULTUREAIR POLLUTIONANECDOTAL EVIDENCEANIMALANIMAL BREEDINGANIMAL FEEDANIMAL FEEDSANIMAL HEALTHANIMAL HUSBANDRYANIMAL NUTRITIONANIMAL PRODUCTIONANIMAL PROTEINANIMALSBACTERIAL GROWTHBEARSBEE KEEPINGBEEFBEEF CATTLEBEEF VALUE CHAINBEEKEEPINGBEERBEESBIDDINGBIRDBIRDSBOTTLINGBREEDBREEDERBREEDERSBREEDINGBREEDING FARMSBREEDING PROGRAMBREEDING STOCKBREEDSBREWERYBRINEBULLSCACALCIUMCALF MORTALITYCALVESCALVING RATESCANNERYCASSAVACATTLECATTLE BREEDINGCATTLE FARMERSCATTLE FATTENINGCATTLE FEEDINGCATTLE GRAZINGCATTLE HERDCATTLE OWNERSCATTLE PRODUCTIONCATTLE SECTORCATTLE STATIONSCHICKCHICKENCHICKENSCLEANLINESSCOCONUT PLANTATIONSCOLD CHAINCOMMERCIAL FARMINGCOMPETITIVENESSCONSUMER BEHAVIORCONSUMER CONFIDENCECONSUMER DEMANDCOWSCRUDE FIBERCUSTOMARY LANDCUSTOMS INSPECTIONDAIRYDAIRY CATTLEDATESDAY-OLD CHICKSDOGDOGSDOMESTIC ANIMALDOMESTIC CONSUMPTIONDOMESTIC DEMANDDOMESTIC LIVESTOCKDOMESTIC LIVESTOCK PRODUCTIONDOMESTIC MARKETDOMESTIC MARKETSDOMESTIC MEATDRY SEASONEGGEGG COLLECTIONEGG PRODUCTIONEGGSEWESEXOTIC BREEDSEXPOSUREFARMING SYSTEMSFEEDFEED ADDITIVESFEED COSTSFEED CROPSFEED SUPPLYFEEDINGFEEDING PRACTICESFEEDSFENCEDFENCINGFIELD SURVEYFISHFISHMEALFLOCKSFOOD PROCESSORSFOOD SAFETYFOOD SECURITYFORAGEFORESTRY SECTORFOWLFRESH MEATFROZEN MEATFRUITGENETICGENETIC IMPROVEMENTGRAIN PRODUCTIONGRAINSGRAZINGGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTHAZARDHERD MANAGEMENTHERD SIZEHERD STRUCTUREHERDSHIVESHONEYHYGIENEIMPORT DUTIESIMPORT TARIFFSIMPROVED FEEDIMPROVED FEEDINGINTENSIVE BEEF PRODUCTIONISSUESLAMBLEATHERLIVE WEIGHTLIVESTOCKLIVESTOCK ACTIVITIESLIVESTOCK ASSOCIATIONSLIVESTOCK BREEDINGLIVESTOCK COMPONENTLIVESTOCK DEVELOPMENTLIVESTOCK DEVELOPMENT PROJECTLIVESTOCK GROUPSLIVESTOCK HOLDINGLIVESTOCK INVENTORIESLIVESTOCK INVENTORYLIVESTOCK MARKETLIVESTOCK MARKETINGLIVESTOCK NUTRITIONLIVESTOCK OWNERSLIVESTOCK PRODUCERLIVESTOCK PRODUCERSLIVESTOCK PRODUCTIONLIVESTOCK PRODUCTIVITYLIVESTOCK PRODUCTSLIVESTOCK SECTORLIVESTOCK STRATEGYLIVESTOCK SUB-SECTORLIVESTOCK SUBSECTORLIVESTOCK TRANSPORTMARKET ACCESSMARKET SUPPLYMEATMEAT COLORMEAT CONSUMPTIONMEAT IMPORTMEAT PRICEMEAT PRICESMEAT PROCESSINGMEAT PRODUCTIONMEAT PRODUCTSMEATSMILLMUTTONMUTTON VALUE CHAINNATIONAL HERDNATURE RESERVESNESTOFFALOIL EXTRACTIONORGANIC PRODUCTSPASTUREPASTURE IMPROVEMENTPASTURE MANAGEMENTPASTURESPIGPIG FARMPIG PRODUCTIONPIGSPLANTPORKPORK VALUE CHAINPOULTRYPOULTRY MEATPOULTRY OPERATIONSPOULTRY PRODUCTIONPOULTRY PRODUCTSPREDATIONPREDATORSPRESERVATIVESPRICE ADVANTAGEPRICE INCENTIVEPRICE INCREASEPRICE LEVELSPRODUCT QUALITYPROTEIN PRODUCTSPUBLIC AWARENESSREFRIGERATIONREFUSEREPRODUCTIVE RATESRESERVESRESTAURANTSRETAILRETAIL PRICERETAIL PRICESRETAIL STORESRETAIL TRADERURAL MARKETSSALESALESSEA FREIGHTSHEEPSHEEP FLOCKSHEEP POPULATIONSHEEP PRODUCERSSLAUGHTER FACILITIESSLAUGHTER FEESLAUGHTERINGSMALL HERDSSMALL-SCALE LIVESTOCK PRODUCERSSMALL-SCALE PRODUCERSSMALLHOLDER BROILER PRODUCTIONSMALLHOLDER CATTLESMALLHOLDER LIVESTOCKSMALLHOLDER POULTRYSMALLHOLDERSSOYBEANSOYBEAN MEALSOYBEANSSPECIESSTEERSSTOCK MANAGEMENTSTOCK NUMBERSSUBSTITUTIONSUPERMARKETSSUPPLIERSUPPLIERSSUPPLY CHAINSUPPLY CHAINSSURPLUSSURPLUS STOCKSWINETREESTROPICAL FORESTTUBERCULOSISTUBERSVEGETABLESVETERINARIANSVETERINARYVETERINARY DEPARTMENTVETERINARY MEDICINEVILLAGE POULTRYWHOLESALERSWorld Bankhttps://doi.org/10.1596/13057
