Mayotte is a small tropical island in the Comoros archipelago. As a recently established French department, much of its food, particularly meat, is imported. Consequently, the development of local livestock farming is a critical necessity. This video presents findings from semi-directive interviews conducted with 15 farmers rearing cattle, sheep, goats, or poultry to understand the challenges they face. The primary difficulty identified is limited access to land, especially for ruminants, which leads to severe feed shortages. Additional obstacles include restricted access to water and the poor condition of roads connecting to the farms. Poultry farmers, in particular, are shown to be overly dependent on imports of feed and breeding stock from mainland France. The footage also highlights how a lack of organization for independent production—marked by an absence of local abattoirs, cooperatives, and structured markets—further hinders the sector's growth. While animal health is not currently viewed as a major crisis, the video notes past issues such as anthrax in cattle and salmonella in poultry. Farmers express trust in veterinarians and their assistants for health management, despite concerns over high costs. Interestingly, the video reveals that while farmers frequently use traditional plant-based medicine for their own ailments, they rarely apply these methods to their animals. In summary, the presentation concludes that larger land areas, improved investment capital, and reliable access to water and fodder are urgently needed to enhance livestock production and ensure the economic viability of farmers in Mayotte.
