Valorization of Tomato Pulp in Animal Feed: Brakes and Levers for the Development of Innovative Sector
Valorisation de la pulpe de tomate dans l'alimentation animale : Freins et leviers pour le développement d'un secteur innovant
Résumé
Faced with the challenge of food security in developing countries, the valorization of agricultural by-products in animal feed is an effective strategy if several conditions are met by the various actors in the agro-industrial sectors. This article, based on qualitative surveys of agri-food and livestock industry stakeholders in Algeria, provides an analysis of the brakes and levers for the creation of incentives for the adoption and dissemination of the use of tomato pulp in animal feed. Beyond the technical knowledge on the nutritional values of this by-product and its potential use in animal feed, this work shows that the main strategies currently implemented by food manufacturers for the recovery of tomato pulp remain sporadic and do not offer the possibility of expanding the market for the recovery of tomato pulp. The coordination of the actors in the sector remains the key to creating incentives for the adoption and dissemination of this new animal feed technique.
