Resumen
Descripción
Livestock contributes 6 to 7 percent
of Chad's gross domestic product and over 35 percent of
total wealth in rural areas. This paper analyzes trade and
transport logistics facilitation measures for curtailing the
adverse effects of trade disruptions arising from the
COVID-19 pandemic. The analysis pays specific attention to
measures related to behavior during border crossings and
transactions along the trade corridors. The relevant actors
do not understand the implication of the relevant measures;
hence, there is a need for a peer pressure in the framework
of empowered professional organizations, enforcement of
regional regulations through universal reliance on the
Economic and Monetary Community of Central Africa’s
veterinary passport, as well as the practice of physical
distancing through measures eliminating congestion at border
crossing posts. A bolder post-COVID-19 reform will need to
foster livestock-driven agro-industrialization.
