Previous government policy had required that10 percent of all herds be sold at a fixed price through theState Cattle Marketing Agency, encobe. This caused manyherders to emigrate and hide their animals in forests oroutside the country. In addition, poor animal healthrepresented a severe constraint to agricultural productivityand growth on which approximately 30 percent of thecountry's rural population (160,000 families) depended.All the livestock sector reforms took place within thecontext of a major overhaul of the National Livestock Directorate.
