Capacity development in food safety risk management of food processing enterprises and national authorities in Kyrgyz Republic and Republic of Tajikistan: GCP/SEC/010/TUR
ENHANCING SAFETY IN FOOD PROCESSING ENTERPRISES IN KYRGYZSTAN AND TAJIKISTAN
In order to realize the considerable potential of Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan in the production and export of processed food (milk, dairy and meat products, fruit and vegetables), it is necessary to improve the compliance with hygiene and sanitary requirements in these countries’ food processing enterprises, and enhance food safety management processes. This involves increasing government awareness on modern food safety management systems and strengthening capacity for food safety at the food enterprise level. Therefore, the project aimed to enable the target countries to comply with international requirements for hygiene and manufacturing practices, through the provision of technical support to elaborate and implement a Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP)-based food safety management system at one pilot enterprise in Kyrgyzstan; the elaboration of national guides on good hygiene practices in Tajikistan; and a series of training of trainers and of national experts in both countries, and a study tour to food enterprises in Turkey.
Project duration: October 2013 –February 2017
