1 Sri Lanka s Food Industry Experience on HACCP Implementation Nirupa Edirisinghe Group Quality Assurance Manager Cargills Ceylon PLC Sri Lanka
2 Presentation Outline Overview Sri Lanka Food Sector HACCP Certification Initiatives Drawbacks in Implementation Benefits Policy & State Initiatives Suggestions
3 Country Overview Sri Lanka Sri Lanka
4 Country Overview Sri Lanka Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka An Island State in the Indian Ocean. A country with a written history over 2500 years Having a multi ethnic & multi cultural society. Sri Lanka was under colonial rule from 1505 to 1948.
5 Country Overview Sri Lanka Key Statistics Population : m Per Capita : US$ 2,923 GDP Growth: 6.4% Inflation : 7.6% Exports : US $ 13,562 m* Imports : US $ 21,721 m* *Goods & Services Source: Economic & Social statistics of Sri Lanka 2013, Central Bank Report
6 Country Overview Sri Lanka Sectorial Composition of GDP % in Agriculture Industry Services
7 Country Overview Sri Lanka Industrial Production In SL Rs: Millions Industrial Category Food & Beverages 282, , , , , ,891 Source : Department of Census and Statistics
8 Country Overview Sri Lanka Agricultural & Industrial Indicators : SAARC Country Share of Manufacturing in GDP Sri Lanka 18.0 % Afghanistan 12.2 % Bangladesh 17.3 % Bhutan 8.7 % India 14.5 % Maldives 4.4 % Nepal 5.9 % Pakistan 17.7 % Sources : Key Indicators for Asia and the Pacific 2012, ADB FAO STAT Database Access Website ( Central Bank of Sri Lanka Reference Year 2010
9 Sri Lanka s Food Sector Composition Large Scale (100 & more persons engaged) 6% Number of Establishments Medium Scale (25-99 persons engaged) 15% Small Scale (Less than 25 persons engaged) 79% ANNUAL SURVEY OF INDUSTRIES Department of Census and Statistics March 2014
10 Sri Lanka s Food Sector Composition Number of Establishments Meat, Fish, Fruit, Vegetable, Oil & Fat Dairy Products 693 Grain Mill products/ Animal Feed Other Food products (Bakery,Cocoa) Beverage Data Source ANNUAL SURVEY OF INDUSTRIES Department of Census and Statistics March 2014
11 HACCP Certification Initiatives Introduced as a voluntary program Subsequently specified as a mandatory system in certain food processing sectors. Eg: Fish & Meat Processing Sectors Mostly practiced in the large and medium scale food industries. Emerging interest visible among new entrepreneurs New initiatives by Food Control Authorities & NGOs
12 HACCP Certification Initiatives Regulatory Status of HACCP Food Safety System Mandatory Status Industries Regulation/ Standard GMP Yes Food Processing Food Hygiene Regulations (Food Act) HACCP No Food Processing Food act- relevant Regulation
13 HACCP Certification Initiatives HACCP Expertise Pool Number of Trained Inspectors in Sri Lanka Private Sector 40+ State Sector 30
14 HACCP Certification Initiatives HACCP Certification Statistics Sri Lanka Standards Institution (SLS) HACCP certified 85 ISO 22,000 certified 160 GMP certified 120 SGS Sri Lanka ISO 2200 Certified 345 Others ISO certified 20+
15 Drawbacks to Implement HACCP Large Scale Industries - Absence of Mandatory Regulations Absence of a State Body for Industry guidance Lack of Consumer Awareness and Preference Lack of Certified Consultants and Trainers High turnover of Trained Employees Difficulty in Sourcing Safety Assured Raw Materials Cost of Implementation and Maintenance Consumer Awareness level on modern quality systems and resulting benefits to the consumer, through mass production of quality-certified products, is limited in semi urban/ rural areas. Therefore, such consumers are reluctant to spend a little more to buy a high quality product.
16 Drawbacks to Implement HACCP Small & Medium Scale Industries - Poor Awareness among Entrepreneurs on GMP Lack of official guidance at initial Set up/registration No Incentives to invest in Food Hygiene & Safety or HACCP Incremental Cost to implement standards and systems Lack of technical know how accessible in the regions No short-term benefits improved demand or higher price The design of some factories constructed in past, are not conducive to the application of modern quality systems. Therefore, those companies have to spend a considerable amount of money to modify their factories.
17 Benefits of implementing HACCP To Manufacturers Improved Consumer / Buyer confidence in Food Products Comparative advantages during new market access Decreased business risk Reduced Legal and Insurance costs Cost Reduction (Minimize recalls/ wastage ) Improved product quality and consistency Companies benefitted by FSMS in Sri Lanka Fish, Meat & Poultry Industry (Improved Standards & Safety) Hospitality Industry ( FSMS certified Suppliers)
18 Benefits of implementing HACCP To Consumers Reduced risk of food-borne diseases Increased confidence in safe food supply Increased awareness on basic hygiene Improved quality of life (health & socio-economic) Food Safety for high risk categories E.g. Children Culturally & traditionally, majority Sri Lankans prefer home cooked food. However, eating-out is becoming popular in urban/ semi urban areas, due to emerging new life styles. FSMS certified, safe food will become the obvious choice of consumers
19 Benefits of implementing HACCP To the Government Improved Public Health standards Efficient & Focused Food Control Administration Reduced Public Health maintenance costs Ease at Trade facilitation & Export promotion Foreign Visitor confidence Tourism promotion
20 State Policy & Initiatives for the Promotion of HACCP Concessions to obtain Food Safety Certificates - Organized by Ministry of Industry & Commerce 2014 Total certification fee will be reimbursed from the Ministry after the successful completion of the certification program 20 Food Processing industries selected for initial implementation The industry should come under the following categories. Confectionery, Dairy products, Coconut based, Fruits or Vegetables processing, Meat or Fish based, Beverages and Spices
21 State Policy & Initiatives for the Promotion of HACCP In the Fish Processing Industry, the Ministry of Fisheries has implemented a code of practice to start and run a model fish processing factory. According to these regulations all factories that process fish products should implement a HACCP system in their plants. The national body for standardization, the Sri Lanka Standards Institute (SLSI), will inspect the factories and issue certification
22 Suggestions to Promote Quality Assurance Systems in Sri Lanka 1. Conduct educational and training programs on the importance of quality standards, benefits, and systems of HACCP and GMP to Food Processing Industries. 2. Arrange Financial Assistance for implementing SLS/ HACCP Loan schemes with concessionary terms Fund initiatives to accelerate implementation of HACCP in high-risk sectors 3. Create awareness on GMP and HACCP systems among Producers, Workers, Consumers & Students 4. Obtain Support from International Agencies - e.g. WHO, FAO, WTO, to expand the Resource Base and Expertise Pool
23 Suggestions to Promote Quality Assurance Systems in Sri Lanka Recognize HACCP compliant industries by giving preference and facilities to access local & international markets. Encourage HACCP implementation as a basic requirement to seek international market access and the certification of export shipments Arrange a national competition among Food Processing Industries with Reward s to motivate Entrepreneurs to implement /maintain quality standards and HACCP systems. Enforce Regulations for mandatory HACCP schemes for all food processing industries.
