Descripción
Since smallholders make up the large majority of the rural poor in Latin America, productivity gains and increased returns to their assets could contribute to widespread poverty alleviation. One such opportunity may be offered through diversification into high-value agricultural products, such as fruits, vegetables, meat or dairy products. This paper presents a case for investing public resources to support smallholder diversification and specialisation into high-value livestock products, review s the current livestock policy framework in the region and proposes a number of institutional changes aimed at tapping into increasing the contribution of livestock sector development to socially desirable outcomes.
