Issues and Lessons Learned and Actions Planned for the Sample Clauses

Issues and Lessons Learned and Actions Planned for the. Next Six Months As opposed to last year’s HACCP training, processors were the most common participants at the Berdiansk seminar; this conforms to the IIFSQ’s HACCP training/implementation strategy: • Train the first target group of food specialists, and provide TTT programs not for processors but for consultants and regulators of that first group (completed last year); • Promote HACCP in cooperation with the trainers who endorse the procedure among processors through their regular jobs; and • Start training processors who to agree to the importance of HACCP. It is noteworthy that all processors wrote in their training evaluation forms that they would like IIFSQ to provide them assistance in HACCP development. Thus, IIFSQ now has created opportunities for provision of consulting services to specific enterprises. Such services could be provided on a fee basis that would contribute to IIFSQ sustainability. In its awareness seminars, IIFSQ ensured that a diversity of representatives of veterinary services, trade and marketing institutions and international organizations (such as the International Financial Corporation) appreciate the importance of HACCP. Akvavit plans to double its current seafood production of 400 tons per month and intends to target the international market where HACCP is mandatory. Expansion of production and acceptibility of Akvavit crab sticks at international market would allow for an eighty-percent increase in employment. In mid-July Akvavit will be shut down for reconstruction and HACCP implementation phase will start by the end of the year. In Ukraine, work on HACCP implementation in seafood/fish industry advances in faster pace than that in the meat/poultry industry. Since HACCP adoption is voluntary, the major incentive for enterprises to do so is their respective market requirements. Currently, Ukraine has almost no exports of meat products to countries where HACCP is already mandatory. The difficultly of HACCP implementation increases for processor of multiple products each requiring a separate HACCP. It is technically impossible to conduct several different HACCP plans at one line during one shift. In contrast, some new fish processing enterprises, such as Akvavit, produce only one or a few products, and are located near raw material sources (rivers and the sea). All these factors simplify development and implementation of HACCP while the higher export market share, relative to the meat and poultry sector, increasesthe need to im...

Issues and Lessons Learned and Actions Planned for the. Next Six Months An unexpected result of the freshwater fish processing presentation at the Food and Drinks exhibition was the interest shown by Nortada Ltd. Xxxxxxx asked XXXX to render assistance in procuring cut and frozen freshwater fish with the intention to export to European countries. In spite of signing the protocol of intentions, Xxxxx did not initiate the spent hen processing trial. In the next six months, PFID will analyze and document the feasibility of spent hen meat processing and, if the results are positive, extend the range of ready-to-eat products.
