Food safety is of immense importance and has been a major concern of the consumers, more than its nutritive value and quality.

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.
