A Pathway Towards Certification

Global Markets: Project Overview

“A capacity building programme for small and/or less developed business that will

develop effective food safety management systems through a systematic continuous

improvement process.”

GFSI Global Markets Programme - Primary Production

The term “small and/or less developed businesses” (SLDBs) means businesses that because of: their size, the lack of technical expertise, the economic resources, or the nature of their workencounter difficulties in implementing HACCP in their food

business.

The term “less developed business” refers to the status of the food safety management system and NOT to the number of staff or volume of production.

Source: FAO Food and Nutrition Paper 86-FAO/WHO Guidance to governments on the application of HACCP in smaller and/or less developed food businesses.
