Dual interventions can increase poultry productivity

The smallholder poultry sector in Ethiopia could potentially supply a significant amount of meat and eggs, especially if interventions are applied to improve productivity. In contrast, the strength and the accelerated growth of the industrial poultry sector in India is likely to dominate poultry production in the next 20 years. Nevertheless, localised livelihoods benefits from improved extensive poultry production are likely to continue to be important in places.
