Meat Sector Study CATTLE O – Opportunities T – Threats Meat External factors External factors Land Pastures in Albania good for grazing; (climate, "alping" the cattle during summer not rainfall, mountains) in place yet Market Forage crops on 200,000 ha plus 423,000 ha pastures Good climate, sufficient rainfall Extension of forage area limited Local Per capita consumption is increasing consumption but compared to EU level quite low; and beef for processing is mainly production imported and could be replaced by local production Price Price per kg is high Production costs are high Trade (import, export) Almost no export yet and imported beef could be produced locally No exports feasible due to non enforcement of food safety laws Legal base Laws and regulations not enforced Services NFA under preparation that will better coordinate the inspections Extension service underdeveloped; financial services for farmers almost not available Subsidies IPARD offers co-financing No budgetary support for meat production Public Public rural infrastructure infrastructure underdeveloped No market information system in place Farmer's Farmers not well organised, no organisation Producer Groups on the ground Meat Sector Study, page 51
Meat Sector Study SHEEP & S – Strengths W – Weaknesses GOATS Animals Internal factors Internal factors Breeds, flock Room for genetic improvements size … Average flock size 44 / 45 heads; small flock sizes are still very numerous as many sheep are raised for self-consumption and just 3,177 farmers have between 100 and 200 heads; only 797 have more than 200 heads; goat figures are 914 and 293 = less than 10 % of all the farms with SR and these 5,000 farms can be considered commercial small ruminant farms; total population 2.62 million SR Stables No stables except shelters when pastoralising, in winter poor dark stable, low ceiling etc not corresponding to animal welfare standards Manure No manure removal systems in handling place; manure is used as fertilizer on the fields and slurry just runs into the nearby river; does not respect environmental standards Feeding 4 systems: 1) Extensive system with Limited fodder production, therefore transhumance from 6 to 8 months no reserves. Generally low input of (all regions), 2) Semi-intensive system with transhumance from 5 to 6 months (Gjirokastra), 3) Grazing system on permanent pastures close to the holding, 4) Grazing on natural pasture in walking distance, with return of sheep or goats in the evening to the holding feed concentrates Technology, Bigger farms have tractors and Small farms are still doing mechanisation agr.equipment for hay making etc everything by hand - feeding, … removing the manure, milking etc. Slaughtering Slaughtering on farms by farmers, (location, live by the butchers in the slaughter weight …) Farmer points and a few in slaughterhouses. Situation is worse than with cattle; live weight too low Education Educational background is limited as almost no vocational schools which would be needed to train small holders.
