General situation
• Oriented mainly to meat production
• National herd : 5 million of heads
• Important activity in the economy of rural and marginalized regions
• Low input breeding : Valorizes pastoral resources and secures production system
Goat meat production

Goat meat production
Commercialization
• Selling animals during all the year, but more concentrated during summer and autumn, after valorizing pastoral
resources
• animals sold 6 to 9 months
Goat meat production
Meat chain transformations
• Meat were commercialized in markets near to production areas,
• It is reaching high income population in the large urban centers (looking for lean and healthy meat)
• Its price was representing 50 % of that of sheep. Now prices are almost equal (10 vs. 12 $)
• Emergence of a new actor in the chain : fattener
Goat milk production
Production
• Trend for intensification • Use of exotic breeds
• Breeding in larger pure herds (even > 100 heads)
• Complementation is ensured by green forage, hay and concentrated food

Milk collect
• Less developed, the milk collection is a challenge for the Algerian authorities (Subsidy : 0.4 $ / liter collected)
• Milk collected is transformed by dairy industry mainly in cheese
Goat milk production
Commercialization
• Production cost : 0.1 $ (extensive farms)
• Farm selling price to milk industry: 0.45 $ (+ 0.1 $= 0.55 $) • Selling price in informal market : 0.9 to 1.8 $
• Cheese selling price: 15 $ / kg
Constraints faced by local goat chains
Meat chain
• Highly influenced by interannual fluctuations of pastoral resources (impact on breeding system strategy and prices) • Fattener could influence the prices and meat quality (fat).
however consumer is in search of “lean healthy" meat from pasture.
Constraints facing local goat chains
Milk chain
• breeding systems have remained extensive, and
Intensification attempts seek the integration of exotic breeds. (problem of the adaptation and renewal animal material)
• the sector is confronted to brucellosis problem
Constraints faced by local goat chains
Milk chain
• The small amounts of milk produced /herd did not encourage milk collect
• The weakness of collect and transformation links pushes the farmers to sell their production in the informal market = risk on the public health and loss for the dairy chain
Strategy to promote goat breeding in Algeria
Public authorities have to initiate development actions other than subsidies…
• Improve management of pastoral resources
• Improve animals productivity, resilience and resistance against diseases.
• Improve local goat products typicality and their labeling
The current evolutionary trajectories of the goat chains are subjected to several constraints which can be handled by the
involvement of all the stakeholders (State, agricultural institutions, breeders' associations) through the
implementation of a global strategy and a plan of action .
