En 1976, un Comité Coordinador para América Latina, establecido por el 10.º período de sesiones de la Comisión del Codex Alimentarius en 1974, celebró su primera reunión en Roma, a la que asistieron ocho países de la región. En su tercera reunión, se propuso cambiar el nombre del comité a su forma actual (Comité Coordinador para América Latina y el Caribe) de manera que reflejase mejor la composición de la región. En 1984, la 31.ª reunión del Comité Ejecutivo aceptó este cambio en nombre de la Comisión.
La región de América Latina y el Caribe es un importante actor en la producción y el comercio de alimentos a escala mundial. La región produce suficientes alimentos para abastecerse y exportar, y cuenta con agua y tierra incluso para aumentar su producción.
La región cuenta con una enorme riqueza natural, una industria agrícola floreciente y un sector agropecuario familiar que resulta esencial para su población. Se debe continuar promoviendo y fortaleciendo la inocuidad de los alimentos en todas las regiones para garantizar la salud de los consumidores y un comercio justo y equitativo.
Ecuador, el coordinador, tiene su sede en AGROCALIDAD, un organismo dependiente del Ministerio de Agricultura y Ganadería. Su objetivo es crear sinergias entre los países de la región, a fin de que se presten apoyo mutuo para superar los problemas regionales y estudiar soluciones a los retos comunes.
Además, el coordinador tiene el propósito de reforzar la colaboración entre los países y fortalecer la participación de los países en desarrollo en la Comisión y sus órganos auxiliares.
