Descripción
The livestock sector in Bangladesh is characterized by several challenges, including poor practices along the value chains; weak value chain organization and infrastructures; low risk management; low quality services; and a lack of proper policies and legislations. In addition, high incidence of different important animal diseases; poor technology adoption; low-quality feed and feeding; insufficient improved breed; inappropriate good management practices; inadequate business plans and market linkages; gender inequality, among others, are further limitations on livestock production in Bangladesh. It is well recognized that unlocking the growth potential of the livestock sector may require a holistic approach, and multiple interventions to address these challenges are required. In this context, the Department of Livestock Services (DLS) of the Ministry of Fisheries and Livestock (MoFL) received funds from the World Bank to implement the Livestock and Dairy Development Project (LDDP), targeting all main livestock value chains in the country. Against this background, the Government of Bangladesh requested that FAO provide technical assistance to the DLS to implement the LDDP.
