10 March 2015

Informal markets provide 85-95 per cent of animal food products eaten in Africa.

Informal markets provide 85-95 per cent of animal food products eaten in Africa. Yet, a new book recommends that African countries should pay more attention to food safety issues in informal markets where animal products are prepared and sold to help improve human health and generate more income. “Food safety and informal markets: animal products in Sub-Saharan Africa”, launched at the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) campus in Kenya details 25 case studies resulting from ILRI’s Safe Food, Fair Food project, which commenced in 2011 in eight African countries — Cote d’Ivoire, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Mali, Mozambique, South Africa and Tanzania.
