ASEAN Australia Development Cooperation Program

Quality Assurance and Safety of ASEAN Fish and Fish Products – HACCP Approach

At the highest level, the overall goal of the project is to support the establishment of a regional ASEAN environment for the development of a competitive private and SME sector with a particular focus on the quality and safety of food and agriculture products.

Specifically the project will look to;

• Develop a mechanism to promote the implementation of a food safety system (HACCP based) for fish products to the small-scale fish processing industry in ASEAN (especially for the CLMV countries),
• Document and develop guidelines on the hazards and controls for ASEAN fish products, and
• Develop a mechanism for training of industry and government personnel in auditing and verification of HACCP systems.

AMSAT, in association with Australian Maritime College and Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Centre, is implementing this project which began in April with a specialist regional mission followed by a meeting of the Project Coordination Group.

A series of regional workshops are to be held in Yangon (July), Ho Chi Minh City (August) and Phnom Penh (December).
