As shown in the below Value Chain diagram, Malawi's beef value chain comprises key stakeholders such as breeding, veterinary, feed manufacturers, and input suppliers that form the primary layer of stakeholders. This Value Chain (VC) image pretty much mirrors the Malawian scenario. These supply inputs to cattle farmers (of various sizes) sell either live or slaughtered animals to feedlots and local butchers, respectively. The feedlots normally fatten the animals and sell them to Cold Storage, Kapani, and other meat processors. The processors normally perform several functions, including packing, grading, wholesaling, and in some cases, direct retailing.
