Waleed E Abou El-Amaiem

Milk has an important role as a vehicle for rural development. Many factors are implicated in milk value chain and marketability in Egypt such as milk production practices, unorganized farmer community, seasonal fluctuation both in production and consumption, financial aspects of dairying, role of middlemen, infrastructure, price fixation and role of government agencies. Many governmental regulatory measures that affect milk marketing is present but to somewhat not applied due to lack of control. This is the first time to highlight on milk value chain constraints in Egypt by using participatory disease surveillance system in data collection.
