The Ethiopian population will grow from present
102 to almost 190 million in the next three
decades, out of which 76 million people will live in
cities and towns vis-à-vis 19 million today. Per capita
national income, currently at USD 767 per year, will
almost double by 2050. These changes will trigger
consumption for all livestock products to increase
tremendously: between 2015 and 2050 demand for
milk and beef is estimated to grow by about 5.5
million tonnes and 0.9 million tonnes or 145 and
257 percent increase, respectively, with similar or
higher growth rates for demand of other animal
source foods.
