Notes
How to encourage pastoralists to market more of their livestock has been a major issue in discussions on pastoral development. Customary commerce: A historical reassessment of pastoral marketing in Africa forms part of a large research project on commercial change in pastoral Africa, examining historical evidence from case studies of pastoralists from Kenya, Nigeria and Niger, and the changing patterns of livestock trading from the 1920s to the 1980s. The author discusses the value of different livestock marketing policies and concludes that the decision to sell is mainly based on attractive market prices in relation to the use value which animals have for the pastoralist.
