Socio-economic characterisation of smallholder dairy systems in The Gambia
Milk production, marketing and consumption
The Gambian government, with the assistance of donors, is involved in the promotion of the local milk and dairy products sub-sector. The farming system in this country is characterised by the predominance of mixed crop-livestock production. The cattle stock is mainly composed of N’Dama, a breed described as a low milk producer. With a large number of cattle, a substantial increase in the domestic milk supply seems feasible, and a thorough approach of research-development is provided. In order to provide insight on the current production, marketing and consumption of domestic milk and milk products in The Gambia, a micro-economic-based approach is used.
