The Ghana Standards Board in collaboration with the European Union has organized a training programme dubbed Better Training for Safer Food in Africa. It was aimed at strengthening national and regional sanitary and Phyto-sanitary capacities in Africa with reference to international standards. The training is crucial because of its importance to food security and the welfare of people.
It was attended by stakeholders from different parts of the country whose activities are relevant to food production and safety. The stakeholders included ELSA Foods, Ann Products, pastel Food Products, Everpure Ghana Limited, Orchids, BET-Abokoma, WEB Enterprise and Ermaks Enterprise.
The programme was also attended by officials from Ministry of Trade and Industry, Ministry of Food and Agriculture, Food and Drugs Board and University of Ghana.
Better Training for Safer Food in Africa (BSTF) is intended primarily for public authorities, producer associations and small and medium enterprises (SMEs). It is meant to improve the use of products such as fertilizers, pesticides and veterinary drugs and hygiene during production and distribution.
Again, the programme helps to strengthen control and certification of animals and products to increase the contribution of agriculture to rural development and food security with positive knock-on effects on growth and employment in Africa.
