Descripción
The food supply chain management of livestock products has become significant in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in view of the common ASEAN market. Because of its geographical advantages, Thailand plans to be the logistic hub for ASEAN. The significant increase in the quantity of imported and exported food products among member states, however, has raised concerns about health and food safety issues. The overlap of roles and responsibilities of various departments or organizations involved in food supply chain management is a problem, above all when urgent food safety incidents occur. The current project aimed to improve the food supply chain management of the livestock sector by assessing the food controls of the food safety authorities involved. It would also strengthen the International Food Safety Authorities Network (INFOSAN), with a specific focus on the coordinating mechanism. The project was implemented in the two pilot provinces of Chiang Mai and Saraburi.
