Project
Outline and Background
The
realization of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) - the vision of a single
market and production base across the region, is a central objective of the
Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). A significant step towards
achieving regional economic integration is the alignment of national policies
and regulations. For the agriculture and food industry, which is the most
important economic sector for many of the 10 ASEAN Member States, this requires
the harmonization of food standards.
SAFT
is a GIZ project that supports the ASEAN Secretariat on the development and
implementation of regional food standards for organic agriculture (ASOA) and
good agricultural practices (ASEAN GAP). The objective is to verifiably apply
both standards in the ASEAN region, particularly in the production of fresh and
processed fruits and vegetables.
Therefore,
the SAFT project engages both public and private stakeholders in focusing on
creating an enabling environment for the further development of standards in
the food sector; training inspectors, auditors and state supervisory bodies;
and supporting farmers, producer groups and companies.
Firstly,
small and medium-sized enterprises will obtain certification in the context of
development partnerships. Voluntary food standards, such as ASEAN and organic
standards, will be introduced on a pilot basis. The experience gained and
recommendations drawn up in this process will be used to further develop the
regional ASEAN GAP and organic standards.
Secondly,
institutions in the ASEAN Member States will be assisted in improving the
efficiency of monitoring systems for food standards. Special emphasis will be
placed on training private and state supervisory bodies in how to conduct
risk-based inspections. These inspections will allow supervisory bodies to
detect and evaluate risks in relation to the growing, processing and quality of
fruit and vegetables and help to prevent production losses. In order to ensure
that this knowledge is retained and remains available to certification bodies
and authorities in the long term, a learning platform on compliance with food
standards will be established in cooperation with the project partners.
There
are four key areas of intervention that SAFT provides support on:
§ Market Linkages: matching suppliers with traders
and retailers
§ Implementation and Controlling Structure:
training inspectors, auditors and state supervisory bodies
§ Enabling Environment: encouraging suitable
incentives, policy and legal environments (by public sector) for successful
implementation (by companies)
§ Monitoring and Learning Platform: enhancing peer
to peer learning between each of the ASEAN Member States
The
SAFT project will conduct onsite consulting, workshops, trainings and
public-private dialogues to support the implementation of the above mentioned
regional standards in the ASEAN region.
