Haiti Beef

Facts about beef in Haiti

Despite enormous potential in the country- domestic production still can not cover the needs of dairy products- eggs and poultry and meat cuts

Haiti has meat consumption of 31.1 per capita in 2005.

This year- the livestock situation is less favorable compared to last year. The combined effect of the earthquake and disease have caused a decline in numbers. The cattle population has been most affected by the earthquake- many animals were killed by collapsing homes or swept away by landslides and mudslides.

In 2013- update meat consumption of Haiti according to FAO reached 34.0 per capita.

The resurgence of these diseases has resulted in sales of healthy animals in the markets higher than usual- especially pigs and poultry. By cons- sales of goats were better suited to de-capitalization of rural households to pay for acquisition of inputs and farm labor in the agricultural season of spring.

Guinea Beef

Facts about beef in Guinea

Bush meat – from bats to antelopes- squirrels- porcupines and monkeys – has long held pride of place on family menus in Guinea

Medical teams struggling to curb Ebola in Guinea have been discouraging bush meat consumption- believed to have caused the outbreak- but some rural communities dependent on the meat for protein are determined to continue their traditional hunting practices.

Bats – often served in a spicy stew called “kedjenou” – have long been a favourite in Guinea’s southeastern Forest Zone- the epicenter of the current outbreak. But sales of these and other bush meat delicacies have now been banned by Guinean authorities fighting the Ebola outbreak.

Discouraging bush meat consumption and introducing livestock as an alternative to hunting is part of long-term solutions against risks of contracting Ebola from the wild- said Juan Lubroth- chief veterinary officer with the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in Rome.

Guinea in 2002 has 6.5 kg/person/year meat consumption.
