    The fourth Meeting of Professionals/Experts in support of Fish Safety, Technology, and Marketing in Africa was jointly organized by the Products, Trade and Marketing Branch of FAO’s Fisheries and Aquaculture, Policy and Economics Division, and the FAO Regional Office in Accra, Ghana. The meeting reviewed progress in post-harvest fish utilization in Africa and made recommendations to FAO, its Members and institutes interested in fish utilization in Africa. In particular, the experts reviewed fresh or live fish handling, fish processing, post-harvest loss assessment, quality and safety, and marketing and socio-economic issues. The meeting included: a presentation by the secretariat of a report on progress and events since the workshop held in 2011; presentation of 27 papers; and a field trip to a fishing community. The report includes the recommendations as well as the papers that were made available to the experts. La quatrième réunion des professionnels/experts en appui à la sécurité sanitaire, à la technologie et au commerce du poisson en Afrique a été organisée par le Service des produits, des échanges et de la commercialisation de la Division des politiques et de l’économie de la pêche et de l’aquaculture de la FAO, et le Bureau régional de la FAO à Accra, Ghana. La réunion a passé en revue les progrès dans l’utilisation du poisson post-capture en Afrique et fait des recommandations à la FAO, à ses pays Membres et aux instituts intéressés par l’utilisation du poisson en Afrique. Les experts ont passé en revue notamment la manutention du poisson frais ou vivant, la transformation du poisson, l’évaluation des pertes post-captures, la sécurité sanitaire et la qualité, la commercialisation et les questions socioéconomiques. Cette révision s’est effectuée à travers la présentation, par le secrétariat, du rapport sur les progrès et événements depuis l’Atelier qui s’est tenu en 2011, des présentations de 27 communications et une visite de terrain à une communauté de pêcheurs à Elmina. Le rapport inclut les recommandations de même que les communications qui ont été mises à la disposition des experts.

    There has been a marked upward trend in production and consumption of fruits and vegetables in Asia and the Pacific in recent years. Along with rising consumer demand has come greater awareness of food safety issues and increased need for convenience and quality. Selection of high quality horticultural produce for processing and implementation of good practices during processing operations are required to assure both the quality of the produce and the safety of the final product. This technical guide reviews, from a theoretical and practical perspective, the critical issues that must be addressed for fresh-cut produce to meet consumer demand for convenience, quality and safety. A case study on fresh-cut processing in Thailand is included. The guide should be of practical value to small processors, trainers and extension workers who provide support to individuals engaged in production of fresh-cut tropical produce for sale.

    This publication on artificial intelligence (AI) for agriculture is the fifth in the E-agriculture in Action series, launched in 2016 and jointly produced by FAO and ITU. It aims to raise awareness about existing AI applications in agriculture and to inspire stakeholders to develop and replicate the new ones. Improvement of capacity and tools for capturing and processing data and substantial advances in the field of machine learning open new horizons for data-driven solutions that can support decision-making, facilitate supervision and monitoring, improve the timeliness and effectiveness of safety measures (e.g. use of pesticides), and support automation of many resource-consuming tasks in agriculture. This publication presents the reader with a collection of informative applications highlighting various ways AI is used in agriculture and offering valuable insights on the implementation process, success factors, and lessons learnt.
