Marketing of Livestock

This case study is part of AREU’s three-year study on “Applied Thematic Research into Water Management, Livestock and the Opium Economy.” It analyses livestock marketing from producers through to butchers, identifies inefficiencies in livestock marketing chains, and recommends policies that would help enhance the efficiency of marketing chains and increase returns for livestock owners. It uses information gathered from fieldwork undertaken in April 2007 in Ghazni, Herat, Nangarhar and Kunduz provinces.
