Abstract

Since the introduction of forages for livestock production in 1995, smallholder farmers in the Lao Peoples Democratic Republic (Lao PDR) have begun to fatten cattle, buffalo, pigs and goats on a regular basis for local and export markets (Stur et al. 2002). Increased livestock production has brought many livelihood benefits to rural households (Millar et al. 2005). However, these benefits are unequally distributed according to geographical location, ethnicity, family structures, prevalence of livestock disease and poverty levels. This paper draws on case study research and development literature to examine the social and cultural implications of scaling out livestock production in the Lao PDR.
