40. Price effects more than compensate lower income effect of CEREALCereals about 25pct of whole consumption basket Rural poor HHs consumption thus grows faster
Existing micro-understanding points to the importance of livestock in HHs livelihoods (Negassa RashidDebremehdin 2011)Coping with shocksStore of value (if missing markets for credits)Food, dairy, fuel, etc.. As we have seen at the beginning of this presentation, livestock activities and products also account for a large share of macro flows But to understand livestock’s potential contribution to econ growth, we have to understand its role in productionDraft power, for example, is an essential input in production. About 80 pct of farmers use animal traction to plough their field (Benhke 2010)
Diao Pratt give both production and consumption explanations for this result re: livestock:Production-wise, they point to smaller share of poor farmers’ income from livestock (this misses the linkages)Consumption-wise, they point to smaller share of livestock products in consumption compared to staplesDorosh and Thurlow (09) calculate poverty-growth elasticities: pct decrease in poverty reduction (headcount rate) from a one percent increase in AG GDP from different sourcesCereal has 1.27, export crops 1.13, livestock led 0.35Livestock performs a bit better in drought prone and, mainly, in pastoralist AEZs
To answer these questions we analyse different sub-sector growth scenarios, using a dynamic CGE model for Ethiopia
LIVESTOCK and CEREAL superior in pushing Ag GDP upDifferences though are small (same applies to overall GDP)Even if cereal had largest push and largest initial size…
Livestock sub sector accounts for 15 pct of all export value (probably under-estimated)Yet, strongest export response under LIVESTOCK simulationReal EXR has a role in this: under LIVESTOCK it suffers the lowest real appreciation across simulation
Livestock accounts for about 10 pct of factor ownership in 4 AEZs. The poor’s asset in hl, hc, ho and dp AEZs is predominatly labour. Land has a slightly smaller weight than livestockIn pastoralist areas, it accounts for more than 40 pctYet TFP increases stimulate economic linkages that raise income from labor and land the mostFrom a food security perspective, notice that CEREAL is still the simulation which is most effective at raising consumption of cereals of the poor. Although CEREAL has a smaller income effect, it also produces the lowest cereal prices across the simulations. The latter effect more than compensates for the formerNotice that the same dynamic would apply to income of ALL HHs as well.Also, notice that this translates in total income gains
A dynamic general equilibrium model, adapted to better capture the livestock sector shows th
