Abstract

Despite its socio-economic importance, the local milk sector in Senegal is struggling to overcome the factors that determine its development. The milk value chain study took place in the Kaolack region with 349 stakeholders and assessed the market risk factors and the level of socio-economic influence of the stakeholders. Results show that the overall added value is significant according to the income structure, relatively unequal and captured mostly by women with traditional processing of local milk. The regional economic exchange network is almost absent and the gap is filled by a sparse social network. Thus, the development of the local milk value chain requires a mobilization of both economic and social networks and a better redistribution of the added value to the different stakeholders.
