Abstract

The present work aims to design an approach of valorization of agropastoral products and by-products in the wilaya of Naâma (West Algeria). The analysis of the surveys carried out on 364 breeders reveals that lamb production is characterized by a high economic value with a share 85 % of sold products in total production, followed by «Milk» with a rate of 24%. The rate of wool shows that this resource is classified as a low-value by-product since 77% of producers are unable to sold their fleeces. The skin is classified as a by-product without significant value, since only about 03% of breeders sold their product. Our approach of valorization of this production is initiated in a broad conception that integrates several actors. The SWOT matrix for the valorization of agro-pastoral products highlights the internal strengths and strengths and external opportunities offered, identifying internal weaknesses to resolve them while limiting external threats.
