Small ruminants play an important, but often underestimated, role in the livelihoods of resource-poor farmers in Kenya. Besides being an important source of protein and immediate cash, they also have a variety socio-cultural values. Their importance in mixed crop-livestock systems in Kenya is exp...

The marketing system of small ruminants in coastal Kenya was studied through a case study in Kilifi and Kwale districts. Five channel levels were identified. 1) producers, 2) assemblers, 3) itinerant traders 4) retailers, and 5) consumers. Price discovery was by one-to-one bargaining at all the c...
