- Conclusion and the way forward
3. I. Introduction
- Despite its huge livestock population, Ethiopia could not
properly utilize the potential of the livestock sector
- Lack of systematic collection, compilation, analysis, storage
and dissemination of market information is one of the major
constraints
- The economic contribution of the Ethiopian livestock sector can
be improved substantially if the sector is better integrated into
the local and international markets using available information
technologies and other associated products
- Thus, it is essential to establish a well integrated, dynamic
and interactive database that will enable users to get easy access
to the required market information
4.
- Avail a comprehensive and dynamic Livestock Market Information
System (LMIS) for Ethiopia
- Develop suitable data collection formats,
- Determine the required number of market managers per
market,
- Develop and test the livestock market information database and
build up user friendly output generation system
- Use other timely information dissemination means
