| Abstract: | This poster presents a study on the
multiplier effects in the dairy chain on Reunion Island.
This Indian Ocean island is one of the French overseas
departments. However, it struggles with similar
problems as the developing areas in its neighbourhood,
high levels of unemployment especially being a major
concern. The agricultural sector justifies the state
support it receives by stressing its role in the creation of
employment and economic activity. Our focus is on the
dairy sector of the Island, which is relatively recent and
highly organized. Local milk production has increased
over the years and our aim is to calculate the economywide
impact of this trend. We use a social accounting
matrix with disaggregated accounts for the dairy sector
to calculate the impact of changes in this sector. |
