The Investment Climate Advisory Services of the World Bank Group have
released a new publication for Armenian food producers designed to
help them improve food safety standards and become more competitive.
The publication, Guidelines for the Implementation of Good
Manufacturing Practices and Good Hygiene Practices, provides
producers with practical advice on how to comply with basic hygiene
and manufacturing rules. It also provides advice for inspectors,
offering a standardized approach for assessing compliance and making
the process more efficient. To raise awareness about those practices,
the Armenia Investment Climate Reform and the IFC Armenia Food Safety
Improvement Projects jointly organized a seminar for food producers
and inspectors today and presented the new publication.
"The introduction of practices highlighted in the guidelines
will significantly reduce food contamination risks," said Abraham
Bakhchagulyan, Head of the State Service for Food Safety of the
Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Armenia. "These practices
are also vital for the formation of food safety systems compliant with
the standards of the European Union, which is one of our key goals."
