    The Regional Capacity Building Workshop to Empower African Women and Youth on the use of the FAO-Thiaroye Fish Processing Technique (FTT) aimed to build the capacity of African women and youth on food safety, fish post-harvest losses, fish handling and processing with a focus on the use of the FTT. The meeting included: six key presentations; working group discussions on the key lessons learned and the challenges related to the adoption of the FTT; and practical training sessions on FTT use and maintenance. The sessions also provided recommendations for future actions needed to promote and support the adoption of the FTT, initially but not exclusively in the countries represented at the workshop. L'Atelier Régional de Renforcement des Capacités des Femmes et des Jeunes Africains sur la Technique FAO-Thiaroye de Transformation du Poisson (FTT) avait pour objectif de renforcer les capacités des femmes et des jeunes africains en matière de sécurité sanitaire du poisson et des produits aquacoles, de réduction des pertes après capture et de manipulation et de transformation du poisson, en mettant l'accent sur l'utilisation de la technique FTT. La réunion s’est déroulée autour de six présentations principales, de séances de travail en petits groupes sur les principaux enseignements tirés et les défis liés à l'adoption de la technique FTT, ainsi que d’une formation pratique sur l’utilisation et l’entretien des fours. Les sessions de travail ont également fourni des recommandations en matière d’actions à prendre pour promouvoir et soutenir l’introduction du FTT notamment, dans les pays représentés à l'atelier.

    The FTT-Thiaroye is a technique drawn from the collaborative efforts between the FAO and the National Training Center for Fisheries and Aquaculture Technicians (CNFTPA) training institute in Senegal. Its development addresses the need to improve small-scalefish drying and smoking operations. The key to its adoption rests upon its benefits.Globally, the main condition required for theFAO-Thiaroye technique to be successfullyapplied is the know-how of its construction,use and maintenance.

    FAO-Thiaroye processing technique: towards adopting improved fish smoking systems in the context of benefits, trade-offs and policy implications from selected developing countries 2019

    More than 60 percent of global production of smoked fishery products occurs in Africa and Asia, highlighting their tremendous significance in food and nutrition security and as a vehicle for livelihood support in these regions. However, prevailing processing technologies entail significant deleterious health implications for both processors and consumers. The main hazard relates to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which are known to have carcinogenic potential. In response to the PAH challenge and leveraging on the Codex Alimentarius Code of Practice guidelines for preventing their occurrence in smoked and dried products, the FAO-Thiaroye fish processing technique (FTT) was developed under a collaborative research approach between FAO and a fisheries institution in Senegal. To date, the FTT has been introduced in 16 countries. The technique addresses the PAH problem, and yields products that comply with international limits on the hazard, while fostering many social, economic and environmental benefits. However, experience from some African and Asian countries points to the need for a context-driven balance that ensures that the gains associated with its use can be realized without making expensive compromises, especially in terms of fisheries resources status and trade dynamics. Policy and regulatory frameworks need to be informed by a risk-based approach and supportive of consistent benchmarking and differentiation of FTT products. This document reviews the lessons from those countries, and makes the case for a hard, evidence-based, policy backbone to safeguard the sustainable, eco-friendly supply of safe smoked (and dried) fishery products to support food security, particularly in the developing world.
