内罗毕是一个快速发展的大城市，预计到2030年，对牛羊肉和山羊产品的需求将翻一番。该研究的目的是绘制内罗毕牛肉、绵羊和山羊系统的结构和流程图，以查明缺陷和易受冲击的脆弱性，通过焦点小组讨论和与内罗毕反刍牲畜和肉类市场以及大型加工公司的经营者访谈收集了跨部门数据。获得了关于价值链中的人、动物、产品和增值活动的类型及其在结构、空间和时间上的相互作用的定性和定量数据。在三个不同的方面进行了绘图分析：人和产品概况（人与产品的相互作用）、地理（动物和产品的路线）和时间绘图（季节波动）。所获得的结果被用来确定结构性缺陷和脆弱性因素在system.Results的牛肉食品系统表明，44-55%的城市的牛肉供应流通过“本地终端市场”，但总供应量的54-64%是由一个“肉类市场”控制。许多非正规链被发现，独立的牲畜和肉类贸易在这些系统的功能中发挥着关键作用，大多数活动都是在质量控制效率低下，基础设施和组织稀缺和不足的情况下进行的，造成浪费和低质量肉类产品的潜在食品安全风险。地理和时间分析显示了影响不同市场的关键领域，较大的市场在淡季增加了市场份额。部分一体化的大型加工公司拥有高质量的基础设施，但高达60%的牛肉供应依赖于与非正规市场类似的路线。只有这些公司参与增值活动，进入高端市场，但也主导了牛肉香肠等受欢迎产品向中低端市场的分销。对于小型反刍动物食品系统，73%的淡季供应通过一个大型非正式市场Kiamaiko流动，该市场位于城市非正式定居点。这些动物或生产的肉类没有分级。据报道，大公司高达90%的产品出口。缺乏对动物生产的可追溯性和控制是所有供应链的共同特点。所提出的绘图为政策制定者和机构了解和设计内罗毕反刍动物食品系统的改进计划提供了一个框架。在此查明的结构性缺陷和脆弱性表明了需要采取干预措施的领域。(C)2016年6月，作者。爱思唯尔有限公司出版
Nairobi is a large rapidly-growing city whose demand for beef, mutton and goat products is expected to double by 2030. The study aimed to map the Nairobi beef, sheep and goat systems structure and flows to identify deficiencies and vulnerabilities to shocks.Cross-sectional data were collected through focus group discussions and interviews with people operating in Nairobi ruminant livestock and meat markets and in the large processing companies. Qualitative and quantitative data were obtained about the type of people, animals, products and value adding activities in the chains, and their structural, spatial and temporal interactions. Mapping analysis was done in three different dimensions: people and product profiling (interactions of people and products), geographical (routes of animals and products) and temporal mapping (seasonal fluctuations). The results obtained were used to identify structural deficiencies and vulnerability factors in the system.Results for the beef food system showed that 44-55% of the city's beef supply flows through the 'local terminal markets', but that 54-64% of total supply is controlled by one 'meat market'. Numerous informal chains were identified, with independent livestock and meat tradets playing a pivotal role in the functionality of these systems, and where most activities are conducted with inefficient quality control and under scarce and inadequate infrastructure and organisation, generating wastage and potential food safety risks in low quality Meat products. Geographical and temporal analysis showed the critical areas influencing the different markets, with larger markets increasing their market share in the low season. Large processing companies, partly integrated, operate with high quality infrastructures, but with up to 60% of their beef supply depending on similar routes as the informal markets. Only these companies were involved in value addition activities, reaching high-end markets, but also dominating the distribution of popular products, such as beef sausages, to Middle and low-end market. For the small ruminant food system, 73% of the low season supply flows through a single large informal market, Kiamaiko, located in an urban informal settlement. No grading is done for these animals or the meat produced. Large companies were reported to export up to 90% of their products. Lack of traceability and control of animal production was a common feature in all chains.The mapping presented provides a framework for policy makers and institutions to understand and design improvement plans for the Nairobi ruminant food system. The structural deficiencies and vulnerabilities identified here indicate the areas of intervention needed. (C) 2016 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
