Production and Marketing of Red Meat, Wool, Skins and Hides in Afghanistan

January 31, 2006

The overall purpose of the Research on Alternative Livelihoods Fund (RALF) program is to develop and promote innovative alternative livelihood options for rural Afghans currently economically dependent on opium poppy.

The specific goal of this short project was to identify market opportunities for livestock and livestock products and constraints to producers receiving higher returns from livestock products as a viable alternative to poppy growing.

The research on which this paper is based was conducted from November 2004 to March 2005.

The project showed that there are a number of market opportunities that could enable farmers to generate more income from selling animals.
