Step B

Should investments be in the formal and/or informal market?

The purpose of assessing the dimension of the market for milk - formal as in-formal - in a given area is to appraise the relevance of investments in dairying there. Assessing the supply and demand situation as a point of entry is to access the attractiveness of investing in increased local supply versus import, both at present and in the future. It is also to assess possibilities for increased consumption per capita.

The Formal Market
The formal market is normally confined to cities where markets are regularized and pasteurized milk sale licensed. Peri-urban areas are often gray zone in that respect.

The Informal Market
The informal market comprise sale of raw or fermented milk from farm gate, at local markets or through milk vendors and account by far for most of the smallholder produced milk sold in Africa. The informal market is also the entry point for development of a modern dairy industry and of a formal market.
