Microimprese e sviluppo in Etiopia: il settore lattiero-caseario

Ethiopian familiar and micro enterprises in the dairy sector.
Abstract
A study on the state of the dairy industry (bovine) in Ethiopia has been carried out. Statistical data are from the "International Livestock Research Institute of Ethiopia". A "gap" and a "SWOT" analyses have been elaborated to obtain essential information regarding the entire dairy production chain in Ethiopia. Moreover, the potential technological and socio-economic growth of the whole dairy industry chain has been assessed.
Ethiopia has shown good potentialities, showing that cow milk available with enough quality aspects could reach the consumption of more than two litres per capita per day. The increase in production of milk and the increased attention to its quality could also lead to growing production of many processed products, such as cheese and yogurt.
