Within the framework of the Innovative Livestock Management: Animal Migration, Breeding & Market (INLIMA) Project, field working meetings were held in the following communities: Vayk, Yeghegnadzor, Areni, and Yeghegis in Vayots Dzor; Gavar and Martuni in Gegharkunik; and Amasia and Ashotsk in Shirak. The meetings brought together all key stakeholders of the livestock value chain, including:
- milk and meat processors,
- representatives of slaughterhouses,
- veterinarians, and
- livestock farmers.
The discussions focused on animal migration management and improvement, increasing the efficiency of production processes, strengthening the quality of services, and fostering practical cooperation among the different segments of the value chain. These exchanges served as a foundation for the design of targeted project interventions aimed at enhancing the productivity and competitiveness of local producers, while ensuring closer alignment with market requirements.
Through such meetings, INLIMA develops targeted and effective solutions to address systemic challenges in the livestock sector and promote sustainable development. Subsequently, similar working meetings will also be held in the Ararat, Armavir, and Syunik regions.
“Innovative Livestock Management: Animal Migration, Breeding & Markets” (INLIMA) project is implemented by Strategic Development Agency NGO and funded by the Austrian Development Agency (ADA), the operational unit of Austrian Development Cooperation.
