Description
/li>
Value chain studies, including production system and market chain studies,
are essential to value chain analysis, which when coupled with disease
risk analysis is a powerful tool to identify key constraints and
opportunities for disease control based on risk management in a livestock
production and marketing system. Several production system and market
chain studies have been conducted to support disease control interventions
in South East Asia. This practical aid summarizes experiences and lessons
learned from the implementation of such value chain studies in South East
Asia. Based on these experiences it prioritizes the required data for the
respective purpose of a value chain study and recommends data collection
as well as data analysis tools. This practical aid is intended as an
adjunct to the FAO value chain approach and animal diseases risk
management guidelines document. Further practical advice is provided for
more effective use of value chain studies in South and South East Asia as
part of animal health decision support.
