Abstract
85 words
Little information exists of demand parameters for goats and
goat meat despite seasonality of the demand. Demand for goat
meat in Malawi is high during religious festivals, cultural
celebrations and when households are food insecure. Food
insecure households sell goats to purchase food and for
livelihood. The study will document intermediaries and their
roles in the goat and goat meat marketing chain. In addition,
the study will evaluate goat meat production systems and provide
knowledge and skills for quality slaughter and handling of goat
meat.
