    1. CABI SPS Capacity Building in Latin America and Asia for Exporting Cocoa Yaoundé, Cameroon 7-10 Jun 2011

    2. Agenda About CABI as PEA for Latin America and Asia phase Project Background Aims, objectives and approach adopted A bit about the countries SPS activities in Caribbean and Asia Gap analysis (ICCO survey completed by T&T - CCIB) Proposed solutions and activities Quality Management System for Cocoa Value Chain

    3. What is CABI? CABI is a not for profit organization providing scientific expertise, knowledge and information. Our Mission It explains our purpose – to improve people’s lives worldwide Our business – to provide and apply scientific expertise and information to solve problems in agriculture and the environment Our mission and direction is influenced by our member countries who help guide the activities we undertake as a business and ensure we deliver services that meet real needs and demands. Our activities encompass scientific publishing, research and communications and link science directly to rural communities Our Mission It explains our purpose – to improve people’s lives worldwide Our business – to provide and apply scientific expertise and information to solve problems in agriculture and the environment Our mission and direction is influenced by our member countries who help guide the activities we undertake as a business and ensure we deliver services that meet real needs and demands. Our activities encompass scientific publishing, research and communications and link science directly to rural communities

    4. At a glance CABI specialises in agriculture and the environment Activities include: scientific publishing, research, consultancy, training and communication 100 years old, established in 1910 by UN treaty Owned by 45 member countries Over 350 staff based in 13 countries

    5. CABI has three areas of operation Publishing Scientific Projects & Consultancy Microbial Services Our scientific work focuses on three key areas: Commodities Knowledge for Development Invasive Species

    6. Our people CABI staff locations:

    7. Project Background Consumer concerns on food safety and threat of contaminants to human health Pesticides, fungicides, herbicides – Toxic Ochratoxin A (OTA) & mycotoxins – Damages DNA (mutagen) FFA (Free/trans Fatty Acid) – Diabetes PAHs (Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons) – Carcinogens Heavy metals Cadmium (Cd) – Highly toxic and Carcinogenic Lead (Pb) – Carcinogen can cause miscarriages and infertility in males Mercury (Hg) – Damages nervous system Cr(VI) (hexavalent chromium) – Toxin and Carcinogen

    8. Project Aims and objectives To maintain market access for cocoa beans from Latin America and Asia through capacity building in SPS To raise farmer awareness on SPS standards of international cocoa market To enhance cocoa farmers capacity to apply GAP from pre- to post-harvest procedures to meet SPS stds To enhance institutional capacity in-country to monitor and enforce adherence to SPS stds in cocoa

    9. ICCO member Countries and Fine Flavour Rating: Brazil, Dominican Republic-40%P, Ecuador-75%P, Venezuela-95%P, Papua New Guinea-90%P, Trinidad and Tobago-100%E, Malaysia, Indonesia-1%P

    10. Approach: Consultations with stakeholders to define SPS activity and needs in Latin America & Asia Trinidad and Tobago Mapping of Cd soils Training in Cd testing Soil amelioration or selective sequestration (anthuriums) Cd low/free fertilizers, biofertilizers/rhizobacteria Use Cd beans for butterfat Farm certification/traceability ISO Certified lab for OTA and Cd

    11. T&T gap analysis (ICCO survey sent Oct 2010 - completed by CCIB)

    12. Problem: Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH) – byproducts of burning fuels (fossil or biomass) Solution: Solar drying – UTT model for fermentaries ~ US$100,000 Diesel Dryer

    13. 2. Implement HACCP system Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point -HACCP: Internationally accepted system used to ensure safe procedures and products in food production. Set of 7 proactive and preventative standards for identification and control of safety hazards which must be implemented for certification. 1. Hazard Analysis 4. Monitoring Procedures 2. Critical Control Points 5. Corrective Actions 3. Critical Limits 6. Verification 7. RECORD KEEPING

    14. 2. Implement HACCP system Cont’d VERIFCATION & CERTIFICATION by CARIRI Developing testing & certification capacity at CARIRI. Have equipment and HR for testing – need training with cocoa pesticides and herbicides residues (MRLs) (since 2007 capacity for organophosphate and organochloride testing; Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC), 2 GCs and 1 GC-MS (gold std for FFA and some pesticides) Ochratoxin A (ELISA not done in T&T yet- insufficient demand) Heavy Metals (Cadmium) - RoHS compliance (Restriction of 4 Hazardous Substances) - test by GC-MS Free Fatty Acids (FFAs) – test by GC-MS Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (17 PAHs) – by GPC

    15. 2. Implement HACCP system Cont’d VERIFCATION & CERTIFICATION by CARIRI Timely testing of samples and Delivery of results Issue COA- Certifies compliance to Residue Levels in sample Cost per sample ~US$1,200 (to be paid by importer) Pesticide testing – US$500 Heavy metal – US$50 FFA – US$100 PAH – US$500 Idle capacity – testing services to other ICCO member countries (DR, Venezuela and Ecuador) risk mitigation

    16. 2. Implement HACCP system Cont’d Who needs to be trained – Website and workshops Outputs: Manuals & Videos produced Cocoa farmers in Quality Management System (QMS) for pre- and post-harvest to adhere to HACCP standards Fermentary operators in QMS for fermenting and drying beans to HACCP stds Shippers and Cargo consolidators to handle cocoa beans as food to HACCP stds. Possible registration with CCIB requirement.

    17. 3. Quality Management System (QMS) for Cocoa Value Chain in T&T QMS is systematic approach to business and production processes with an emphasis on customer and quality outcome Customer – Cocoa importing countries (meet regulations) Quality – HACCP Certification Business – Cocoa production

    18. 3. Quality Management System (QMS) for Cocoa Value Chain in T&T The Cocoa Value Chain in T&T GAP/modifications in Production (use of biofertilizers, right pesticides and herbicides/shade) – from land prep to pod harvest Systems approach to Harvesting and processing pods Systems approach to Fermenting and drying Good Warehouse Practices (GWP) for dry bean storage (HACCP) GWP for shipping of beans (HACCP)

    19. 3. Quality Management System (QMS) for Cocoa Value Chain in T&T The Cocoa Value Chain in T&T GAP in Pre-harvest (use of fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides) Meet RoHS (Cd, Hg, Pb, Cr (Vi)) standards Approved list issued by CCIB Increase bean production on farm from 200 to 600 kg/acre. Appropriate irrigation Appropriate drainage to reduce Cd deposition in fields
