Exploring the composition and structure of milk and meat value chains, food safety risks and governance in the Addis Ababa and Oromia regions of Ethiopia by Nyokabi, N.S., Lindahl, Johanna F., Phelan, L.T., Berg, S., Gemechu, G., Mihret, A., Wood, J.L.N., Moore, H.L.

“…The main barriers to compliance with food safety regulations were actors' low knowledge, small profit margins, absence of critical food safety infrastructure such as electricity and road and low access to capital to invest in the recommended equipment such as aluminum containers, coolers and fridges. This paper concludes there is a need for targeted efforts to support the adoption of low-cost technologies that could mitigate food safety risks. …”
