Budget: EUR 43.500
Period: 18/04/2023 – 30/09/2023

The overall objective of the study is to update existing research on the impact of European and ECOWAS trade and agricultural policies on the development of the local milk value chain, including in terms of income of local actors in the milk value chain, job creation and balance of trade and fiscal revenues. It will examine policy options to align regional trade policies and fiscal measures with the objectives of the ECOWAS regional Milk Initiative, including in a context of volatile prices of dairy products and the presence of fat-filled milk powder on international markets. The study will provide governments and local dairy stakeholders with accurate quantitative and qualitative data on the impact of trade protection and fiscal measures on job creation, producer incomes, increased local production for food security as well as budgetary revenues.
