En 1976, un Comité de coordination pour l’Amérique latine, créé par la dixième session de la Commission du Codex Alimentarius en 1974, a organisé sa première réunion à Rome, rassemblant ainsi huit pays de la région. Lors de la troisième session du Comité, il a été proposé de modifier le nom du Comité pour qu’il prenne sa forme actuelle (Comité de coordination pour l’Amérique latine et les Caraïbes), plus représentative de la région concernée. En 1984, la trente et unième session du Comité exécutif a approuvé cette modification au nom de la Commission.
La région d’Amérique latine et des Caraïbes est un acteur majeur de la production et du commerce alimentaires au niveau mondial. Elle produit assez de nourriture pour l’autosuffisance et pour l’export, et dispose d’assez d’eau et de terres pour produire encore plus de nourriture.
Cette région bénéficie d’une grande richesse naturelle, d’une industrie agroalimentaire florissante et d’une agriculture familiale essentielle pour sa population. La promotion et le renforcement de la sécurité sanitaire des aliments doivent se poursuivre dans toutes les régions afin d’assurer la santé des consommateurs ainsi qu’un commerce juste et équitable.
En tant que coordonnateur, l’Équateur opère au sein d’AGROCALIDAD, une agence rattachée au Ministère de l’agriculture et de l’élevage. Il vise à créer des synergies entre les différents pays de la région pour offrir un soutien mutuel, et ainsi surmonter les problèmes régionaux et étudier des solutions en réponse à des problématiques communes.
Le coordonnateur souhaite également renforcer la collaboration entre les pays, tout comme la participation des pays en développement au sein de la Commission et de ses comités subsidiaires.
