Abstract
Key messages highlighted in this brief include:
• Development of new and existing niche markets or marketing strategies can help
overcome the continual state of decline of indigenous AnGR breeds by raising their
visibility and promoting their continued breeding.
• Structured breeding programmes could establish a new place for indigenous breeds in
modern agriculture.
• Consumers increasing demand for quality food products indicates that there are open
markets for indigenous AnGR breeds and their products.
This policy brief was made possible through financial support provided by the European
Union (EU) funded Project “Strengthening the Capacity of African Countries to Conservation and Sustainable Utilisation of African Animal Genetic Resources.”
