  4. Where Are We Headed? • There will always be an IP (Value- Enhanced) market • Food and feed industry moving from a supply-driven to customer-driven market • Customer will continue to mandate segregation, food/feed safety, and quality systems in supply chain • Allows the consumer a choice

  5. EurepGap – Core Values • Food is safe from contamination/health concerns • Food is high quality • Environment is not harmed • Workers are adequately trained and paid • Wildlife is taken into account • Animal welfare • http://www.eurep.org

  6. EurepGap • Traceability • 100% Dutch supermarkets • 35,000 firms/62 countries • 254 questions (41 major musts, 122 minor musts • http://www.eurep.org

  7. Circle vs. Chain • In supply chain, everyone above and below has shared interest in outcome • Information must flow to all • Product integrity is influenced by all • Enhanced value is shared by all

  8. Grain Food Safety • Goal: • To have each grain producer and grain handler treat the grain as a food product or raw material. • We don’t know which grain will be used as food and which will be used for feed

  9. Grain Food Safety • Grain handler must pass a food safety audit • Audit includes: • Adequacy of Food Safety Program • Pest Control • Operational Methods and Personnel Practices • Maintenance for Food Safety • Cleaning Practices

  10. Value added as the result of the exclusion or minimization of undesirable attributes. GMOs, Mycotoxins, Allergens, Pesticides, BSE, Pathogens Food grade, Varietal Purity, Pharma, Amino acid or Sugar profile, Nutraceuticals, Special nutrients Value added by inclusion or increased concentration of desirable attributes. Adding Value vs Lowering Value

  11. What Type Program Is Needed? Only your customer can answer these questions. • What is the purpose • Regulatory or commercial requirement • Market advantage • How Broad • How much information is needed • Which parameters need to be monitored • How Deep • How far back in the food chain • EU requires “one-forward, one-back” • How Precise • What degree of assurance for the data collected *(USDA ARS Ag Economic Report #830 – “Traceability in US Food Supply” Be pragmatic – don’t build a penthouse when a cottage will do.
