Book (stand-alone)Training manual – Good agricultural practices (GAP) guidelines
Volumes 1 and 2
2022Also available in:
Food safety is of immense importance and has been a major concern of the consumers, more than its nutritive value and quality. The global trade in food commodities has further necessitated compliance to food safety, hygiene and environmental sustainability. Food commodities produced through climate-smart ways in terms of compliance to good agricultural and environmentally sustainable standards can enhance produce/product competitiveness in the national and international markets. Moreover, food safety is integral to the food and nutrition security of the local population. Capacity building of relevant stakeholders, including GAPs farmers is imperative for the promotion of GAPs at farmers’ field level. The current training manual comprises of two volumes, volume one presents general GAP guidelines for food safety, product quality, environmental management and workers safety, hygiene and welfare in line with Myanmar and ASEAN GAP key criteria and compliance standards, while volume two focuses on target crops specific Good Agriculture Practices (GAPs) at pre and post-harvest stages including processing, packing/packaging. Additional resources on GAPs standards, especially FAO GAP schemes for fruits and vegetables were also consulted with relevant practices included in the manual. -

The provisions of these guidelines apply to RUTF for children aged from 6 to 59 months with severe acute malnutrition (SAM) who need efficacious and timely intervention including safe, palatable foods with a high-energy content and adequate amounts of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients within an appropriately designed programme that promotes continuation of breastfeeding, appropriate transition to nutritious family food and psycho-social support for recovery. The term "Codex Alimentarius" is Latin and means "food code”. Codex standards are international food texts, i.e. standards, codes of practice, codes of hygienic practice, guidelines and other recommendations, established to protect the health of the consumers and to ensure fair practices in the food trade. The collection of food standards and related texts adopted by the Codex Alimentarius Commission is known as the Codex Alimentarius. -
