The impact and control of diseases and other damages constraining leather value chains
Perry, B.
This paper outlines four key pillars of epidemiology and economics in national animal disease control; prioritizing in animal disease control; the comparative advantage of Ethiopia in the leather industry; and gives some impressive figures including estimated production of hides and skins, employees in the tanning sector, and value of exported hides and skins. Answers to specific questions were also answered. What are some of the on-farm health hazards? What are some of the damage hazards? What are the priorities in each host species/ecological zone grouping? What are the intervention options? What is their efficacy? What are the costs and benefits? Other topics of discussion include economic impact of a disease, estimation of avoidable losses, intervention funding, and leather industry & poverty reduction. The paper also illustrates with diagrams The economic impact of a disease - first and second steps; the inadequacy of total loss estimations in priority setting; the major problem - driven by the other value chain; the multiple obligations of the poor livestock producer, a standard leather value chain; and the conflicts in economic allegiances
