We find that for Kenya— considering the entire food system, including crops, livestock, fishing, and value addition sectors at the national level—external costs represent 35 percent of the output value. …”

Economic valuation of phenotypic cattle trait preferences in trypanosomosis prevalent production systems of Eastern Africa: Implications for sustainable cattle breeding programs. by Ouma, Emily A.

“…However, there are tendencies for genetic breed improvement programs to focus on single traits associated with production outputs such as meat or milk production with an assumption of a profit maximizing objective function when calculating economic values of traits and important non-income and socio-cultural roles of livestock from the breeding objective since such functions are often embedded in traits that lack market values or prices. This may result in breeds that are not well adapted to the environment and not capable of performing the multiple objectives of the livestock enterprise environment and not capable of performing the multiple objectives of the livestock enterprise in developing countries. …”

Evaluation of different methods of estimating ET for the performance assessment of irrigation schemes by Salgado, Ramiro, Mateos, Luciano
