Al Moutmir’s third Community of Practice on Animal Productions brought together around 60 participants in Benguerir to examine how livestock activities can evolve from traditional farming practices into viable businesses.
The event explored opportunities for young people across the animal production value chain, including livestock farming, dairy and meat production, animal feed, veterinary services, processing, product marketing and technology-enabled solutions.
Participants also discussed the main barriers facing young entrepreneurs, from training and technical support to financing, equipment and market access. Discussions focused on improving productivity, managing costs, assessing profitability and selecting business models suited to local economic and social conditions.
Speakers highlighted the potential role of cooperatives and professional organisations in pooling resources, sharing investment and improving access to equipment and services. The meeting also stressed the need for coordinated support involving public institutions, research and training bodies, financiers, business support organisations and private companies.
According to the announcement, Al Moutmir aims through its animal production community to connect field needs with scientific knowledge, innovation and economic stakeholders, while encouraging practical solutions and partnerships.
Participants said the format helped farmers identify new business and partnership opportunities, improve herd productivity and develop a more structured, commercially focused approach to livestock activities.
