Table 48: SWOT Analysis of the Beef Production Strengths • Sufficient number of butchers and meat shops to meet consumer demand • Sausage processing has started to develop • Sufficient labor force Weaknesses • Low meat consumption per capita • Slaughtering and meat operations are conducted under poor sanitary conditions • Lack of specialized meat processing equipment • Inadequate veterinary inspection and services • Lack of motivation for veterinarians to react to problems in proper time • Significant price pressure due to imports from neighboring countries (Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan) • Lack of information on markets, supply and demand and consumption of meat and meat products • Poor marketing infrastructure • Farmers have a low level of knowledge on feeding cattle and herd management. • Weak infrastructure (including roads) • Low productivity of existing breeds • Low productivity of existing pastures and haymakers • Low level of management • Lack of genetic improvement. • No understanding traceability 22 Opportunities • Restore the production and export of canned meats • Increase in meat production through the control of diseases and increased number of livestock • Improve and update the sanitary standards used in industry • Increase the number and effectiveness of training programs throughout the value chain • To improve quarantine stations and strengthen veterinary services • Import substitution activities for imported frozen meat • Improvement of quality control and regulatory agencies • Development slaughter-house according the sanitary and hygiene rules Threats • Lower demand due to declining economy and purchasing power of consumers • Dumping of meat products by neighboring countries • Natural disasters limiting feed supplies • Diseases Limiting factors to the growth of the livestock and meat industries are: • Lack of experience and skills in producing rapid weight gains; • Lack of knowledge of modern animal production methods; • Restricted feeding of animals during fattening; • Poor feed quality and expensive feeds; 22 Traceability is established for an attribute when information about that particular attribute is systematically recorded from creation through to marketing. For example, for beef meat complete traceability would include the ability to identify the genetics (via DNA tracing), feed sources, animal husbandry techniques, method of slaughter, etc (Clemmens 2003). 102
• Poor using the concentrate feeds; • Weak financial position of the farmer; • Lack of quality feed production in Tajikistan, little protein feeds are produced; • Not efficiently using of pastures and lack of infrastructure; • The housing condition of animals do not meet sanitary standards; • Lack of knowledge of farmers about the meat breeds, genetics and/or herd health. • Absence of specialized abattoirs The value chain is dominated by large butchers who determine demand in the market. They are the central figure. The second level is the intermediaries and speculators, and the third levels are farmers. As the rule, intermediaries are very experienced and know the market conditions accurately. Beef Production Value Chain Financing Opportunities. • Purchase of superior breeds e.g. fast maturing • Short-term loans for cattle breeding • Working capital loans for production (feed, fodder) • Finance activity of farmers and households on growing, harvesting and storing of feeds used in beef production, • Create modern meat storage facilities ensuring the use of refrigeration, • Support the construction and developing the slaughter houses according sanitary and hygiene norms. • Funds are input dealers involved to supply cattle feeding, Premix Feed / Fodder supply • Financing construct new, modern slaughter houses • Provide access medicinal supplies. • Linkages farmers and slaughter facilities with higher-end retailers to supply Tajikistan quality beef products. • Investment in slaughterhouse facilities and equipment • Financing improving housing condition of animals to meet sanitary standards • Financing farmers who growing feeds and forage • Loans to Purchase of inputs e.g. feeds • Construction of a biogas plant • Equity investment to establish feed manufacture plants or distribution facilities through the livestock breading farms • Equity Investment in disease-free and fattening centers • Microcredit to purchase of preservation and value addition equipment e.g. freezers, electronic scales and minces • Loan guarantees / direct financial support to farmers/ farm enterprises Transferring Knowledge and know-how • Education and extension on feed and fodder • Education and promotion of beef genetics and/or herd health. 103
