• 80% Seafood; 40% Fruits and Vegetables
• Sweeping changes in consumer demands – increasingly stringent and complex demands from buyers
• Average grocery store carries 15,000 items
• Lack of Resources to inspect

APEC Trade
U.S. Agriculture Imports- Top 5 Source Countries Are APEC:
- Canada, China, Mexico, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong
- Among the top 35 / 15 are APEC countries- Many of those economies have limited
infrastructure and a need for capacity building
APEC is a major supply area for GMA companies

APEC Trade
APEC is a region where the buyers from the developed countries need raw materials
for the less developed countries.
Those LDC source countries are interested in meeting the demand expectations.

The 2007 Food Trade Challenge
• Food Recalls with a huge financial impact:
Peanut Butter (Salmonella): $66 billionSpinach (e.coli): $25-$50 millionPet Food (melamine): $40+ millionChili Sauce (botulism): $35 millionBeef (e.coli) $31 million

The Food Trade Challenge
In 2007 a Food Marketing Institute survey found that consumer confidence in the food supply dropped from 82% to 66% in 12 months – imports particularly suspect.

Industry ResponseGMA Companies Recognized:
• Critical need to restore consumer confidence in food products – (trust in food safety and BRANDS)
• The need for increased vigilance by food companies “from farm to fork,” both domestically and overseas – Supply Chain Management
• The Private Sector has significant scientific and technical expertise
• Private Sector understands international best practices and trade practice
• Multinationals have establishments in virtually every country• Capacity building is critical and governments do not have the
resources to do it alone.

Industry Response
The supply chain is global and economies are interdependent but there is a need for
capacity building and all stakeholders have a responsibility.
Food companies are ultimately responsible for the safety of food.

Industry Response
Training & Capacity Building • Significant investment in training by multinational
companies – company specific programs• No consistency in messaging to suppliers• Forums for regulators often focus only national
requirements• Need for a more consistent global approach focused on
International Best Practices• Industry has experience with every element of the supply
chainIndustry is Buying with Specifications To Be Met

APEC PTIN Opportunity
• 2007 Mandate from APEC Economic Leaders: “the need to develop a more robust approach to strengthening food and consumer product safety standards using scientific risk based approaches and without creating unnecessary impediments to trade”
• 2008 APEC Ministers “Endorsed the establishment of the FSCF’s Partnership Training Institute Network (PTIN”)
• PTIN Challenge: Improve the understanding and application of best practices in a way that ensures long term sustainability” through a public/private partnership
