working on downstream production
Explanation:
This can refer to "finishing" operators, but is probably more likely in the African context to refer to abbatoirs and meat packing/processing.

"Kansas has 31,000 cattle and calf operations with nearly half (14,500), having less than 50
head. Throw in the those herds with between 50 and 99 head and you're talking about
20,400 farms or ranches, representing nearly 66% of all cattle and calf operations in our
state. For these operators, many of which are Farm Bureau members, obtaining premium
prices or downstream production or carcass quality information is difficult if not impossible."
