Meat Sector Study Chicken farming will continue as long as the local demand will be satisfied; therefore substantial investment will be needed and certain investors, eventually from surrounding businesses like feed mills and slaughterhouses will enter the market. All farmers facing better market perspectives will invest to increase the profitability of their production. As the EU standards will request substantial investments especially for slaughterhouses and meat processing companies, almost all of the few operating slaughterhouses and a great part of small-scale meat processing companies will go out of business. As mentioned above there is a trend to establish a complete integrated chain of operations, from livestock farms to feed mill and retail outlets A few slaughterhouses might be refurbished like the one in Saranda. However, as Albania will need slaughterhouses according to EU food-safety standards, new slaughterhouses will be established on the green fields as this is more economically than rehabilitating the old ones. Due to chronically lack of finances MAFCP will - assisted by IPARD - also consider to encourage private investors to build and manage the new slaughterhouses; especially as the old system failed in which the government / MAFCP built the slaughterhouses and then handed them over to municipalities which rented them out to private entrepreneurs. Finally the big players of the meat processing sector will continue to invest also because they will have to partly switch from deep frozen meat as raw material to fresh meat which will be partially locally produced. VIII. Identification of potentials and needs of the sector This chapter provides a SWOT analysis. The section of the producers is divided into cattle, sheep and goats, pigs and poultry whereas the section processors will include the slaughterhouses and the meat processors. The SWOT analysis is in a certain way a black and white picture of the sector and will deal with analyse the internal factors (strengths and weaknesses) and the external factors (opportunities and threats). CATTLE S – Strengths W – Weaknesses Meat Animals Internal factors Internal factors Breeds, flock Breeds are more suitable for milk size … than for meat production Very few farmers focus on meat production Few farms with more than 50 heads 99 % of all cattle farms have less than 5 heads Stables Some modern stables Stables for 1-2 cows are primitive, dark, unclean, no air circulation etc; do not respect animal welfare standards Meat Sector Study, page 49
Manure handling Feeding Bigger farms produce own fodder and purchase feed concentrates from modern local feed mills Technology, mechanisation … Slaughtering (location, live weight …) Bigger farms have tractors and agr.equipment Meat Sector Study No manure removal systems in place; manure is used as fertilizer on the fields and slurry just runs into the nearby river; does not respect environmental standards On small farms cattle graze in the neighbourhood of the farm (and along the streets), little use of self grown maize and wheat; very little feed concentrates Also bigger farms have to purchase partly fodder from the market as farms are often too small to produce enough forage Small farms are still doing everything by hand - feeding, removing the manure, milking etc. a) on the farm by the farmer, b) by the butcher on the farm or in small butcher shops, c) in slaughterhouses - transport of animals does not fit standards Live weight of slaughtered calves is often too low and therefore low profitability; reasons are demand for very young animals (of all kinds) and the unavailability of cheap fodder Meat classification and quality payments do not exist and farm output differs extremely in weight, age and breed Farmer Education Educational background is limited as almost no vocational schools which would be needed to train small holders.
