    The challenge posed by food safety has become increasingly important due to a range of factors such as increasing volume and diversity of international trade in foods and greater public demand for health protection. In this context, there was an urgent need for member countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) to enhance their technical capacity to make a meaningful contribution to international/regional food standards development and their implementation. This entailed not only understanding of the requirements of Codex Alimentarius standards, but also effective participation in the Codex standards setting process. The aim of the project, therefore, was to strengthen the capacities of ASEAN countries in engaging in Codex Alimentarius works and to enhance the relationship between the target countries and the donor.

    In Mongolia, plant pests pose a critical challenge to agricultural yield, crop quality, and food safety. However, in addressing this issue, the use of chemical-intensive methods has raised concerns regarding health risks to agricultural workers, food contamination, and soil degradation. Although national laws, standards, and monitoring systems exist to control pesticide residues in food, their implementation has been constrained by limited technical capacity. Additionally, while there are laboratories capable of testing plant and soil samples, these facilities require additional support and resources to expand their analytical scope. As a net food-importing nation, Mongolia also requires robust phytosanitary measures to ensure compliance with international standards in pest detection and plant quarantine. Despite joining the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (ITPGRFA) in 2018, Mongolia’s genetic resources information system remains limited to spreadsheet programs, restricting information exchange with international gene banks.
