METHODOLOGY

A Questionnaire was prepared by SGS, and approved by COI, to serve as baseline for the data capture exercisedonebydifferentSGSaffiliatesashighlightedintheProfilesheetoftheenclosedSummaryofData document. The idea is to identify the following main items in each of the concerned states:• Maincharacteristicsofpresentfishingsector• Legal issues in terms of food legislation / regulations • Existence of a national food safety control body / Competent Authority• Presence of testing laboratories (government and private)

And hence evaluate to the best of our possibilities the following:• Identify gaps in knowledge• Identify weaknesses related to quality control authorities• Identifyweaknessesrelatedtofishtestinginpublic/privatelaboratories• Identify fast track approach – earmark selected countries for where to start• Earmark any potential recommendations for further action

It is to be noted that this is above all a diagnosis phase to identify what exists in each of the above mentioned states in terms of testing laboratories and quality control authorities in line with suitable data thatmightbereadilyavailable.Thescopedoesnotprovideforanyfieldtriptoconcernedlaboratoriesnoranyfurtheron-siteassessmenttoconfirminformationprovided.

As part of this exercise, the complete set of documents handed over to the COI in line with the above scope, over and above the enclosed Summary Report, consists of:

MAIN CHARACTERISTICS OF PRESENT FISHING SECTOR

All mentioned states, apart from Burundi, Rwanda and Swaziland, have a Fishing sector and the latter has more or less grown over the years, despite thefactthatthequantityoffishcaughtmighthavebeensomehowdecliningoverallduetooverfishing.

• In Burundi it is stated that there is no fishingindustryassuch(justthroughNGOorganisation and artisanal type with some limitedaquacultureactivities;fishingactivityismainly on Lake Tanganyika and primarily for local consumption).

• Same is applicable for Rwanda where the industry is very limited and mostly centred aroundlocalconsumption;thetonnageoffishcaught (Tilapia - on Lake Kivu) being relatively low (mention is made of 11 tonnes).

• ForSwazilandalsothereisnofishingindustryandiffishiscaughtitisconsumedfresh.

Note:ThequantityoffishcaughtandexportedinUganda has been declining since 2005 due mainly tooverfishing.

Thefishingsectorinthe6remainingstatesisstill dominated by a traditional and artisanal type industry, mostly geared towards local consumption andwheremostofthefishingisinland(freshwater)withthefollowingmainfishspeciesconcerned:• Nile Perch• Tilapia• Sardine

Aquaculture is slowly making its way and most development is in terms of lake-based aquaculture. It is stated that aquaculture has great potential for expansion - in Tanzania, amongst others.Kenya and Tanzania would also be involved in

The following elements are also worth mentioning regardingthosemaincountriesexportingfishorfisheryproducts,listedintermsofimportance:

(*) To note that Fish Quality Control & Standards Regulations 2000 is harmonized with the EU Regulations

Asperaboveinformation,thefishingsectorismore developed in Uganda, Tanzania and Kenya. These countries seem to have a better organized exportsectorthantheothersandwithfishprocessing being carried out. Though Uganda has the highest annual catch, it seems that Tanzania andKenyaaremoreonvalue-addedfishandfisheryproducts.Theexportoffishismostlyfrozentype. In both Uganda and Kenya, there are some 10mainfishprocessingcompanies-approvedbythe EU - while in Tanzania there are approximately 16. All these 3 countries are involved in value added productssuchasfishmeal,fishoilandby-productslikefishheadandtail.

Tanzania also produces crabs, prawns, shrimps

and lobsters while mention is also made of octopus andfingerlingsforKenya.

Zambia and Zimbabwe have just a few processing companies (around 3-5, of which 1 in Zimbabwe is EU approved) and Malawi apparently has only 1 fishprocessingplant.Worth mentioning that Burundi apparently exports (1%ofcatch–veryniche)somegrilledfishtoBelgium and other African countries like Uganda and Rwanda. Somecountriesdoimportfishfortheirlocalconsumption:

• WhileforRwandaitisquitesignificant(fishcoming mainly from Uganda and Tanzania)

• For Tanzania it is rather minimal• For Kenya (and same is applicable for Malawi)

it is mainly in terms of canned products (Tuna / Salmon)


• ForBurundiitismainlyintermsoffishingmaterial, as peravailable data

All above mentioned states do have some import controls in place in terms of inspection and testing, except Burundi and Swaziland.

• Mention is made of Rwanda Bureau of Standards / Tanzania Bureau of Standards / Zambia Bureau of Standards / Malawi Bureau of Standards

• In Kenya the above is covered under the presentProductVerificationofConformity(PVoC) program, run amongst others by SGS.

Legal Issues in Terms of Food Legislation / Regulations



LEGAL ISSUES IN TERMS OF FOOD LEGISLATION / REGULATIONS

All mentioned states have a local legislation in place and which is said to be enforced. There is a national food safety control body in all these states, except Uganda - to be further confirmed,unlessitisaproblemofinterpretation.For the following countries involved in export activities, namely Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania and Zambia, there is a separate entity overlooking the export of products.

A quick summary of information compiled regarding Veterinary Services and related inspectors are as follows (but to note that inspectors are not necessarilyattachedtofishproductsonlybuttofoods of animal origin in general):

What is surprising is that there are apparently no Veterinary services in Tanzania, again unless it is a problem of naming.In Burundi, there are no Veterinary services. There is a Department of Fisheries under the Ministry of Trade / Environment. However, in Rwanda there is a Veterinary Service in place which is under the Ministry of Agriculture and Animal Resources. No further information provided for Swaziland.

Existence of a National Food Safety Control Body / Competent Authority


EXISTENCE OF A NATIONAL FOOD SAFETY CONTROL BODY / COMPETENT AUTHORITY

In all mentioned countries (except Malawi and Swaziland) there is a Competent Authority (CA) whichisresponsibleforofficialcontrols,thatisverification/inspection/testingoffisheriesproducts amongst others.

It seems from information obtained that, on average, inspectors attached to the CA has the following educational background:

• atleastaCertificateinFisheries• most would be undergraduates with degree in

Biological or Veterinary Sciences

This is probably not the case for Burundi, Rwanda and Malawi, while no information has been obtained regarding Zimbabwe. However, mentioned is made that it could be more the training and material that would be missing rather than the actual capabilities of the people.

The Competent Authority usually falls under the Department of Fisheries within the Ministry of Agriculture or Trade, depending on the country.

In Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania the Competent Authority is said to be recognised as such by the EU.


All below mentioned countries have got testing laboratorieswheresomefishtestingisdone;themajority of these labs are Government owned and with the following capabilities:

Note: p – private lab / g – government lab

In Rwanda testing is usually done through the University,elseforfishandfisheryproductsitwould be outsourced to SGS and KEBS in Kenya. No information obtained regarding Swaziland.In all above 7 listed countries, some basic microbiological parameters would be available within the local labs. Forfishandfisheryproductsthesewouldbenamely: • Coagulasepositivestaphylococci • Salmonellaspp • µ-glucuronidasepositive Escherichia coli • Coliforms

• Tin/sterility–forcannedtypefishprocessedproducts

Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania are the only countries which have ISO 17025 accredited labs:ISO/IEC 17025 is the internationally recognized standard for testing and calibration laboratories. It is the basis for accreditation from an accreditation body.Itspecifiesthegeneralrequirementsforthelaboratory to carry out tests and / or calibrations, includingsampling.Itspecifiescriteriaforthedevelopment and assessment of management systems and laboratory technical controls that provideconfidenceintheresultsobtained.There are two main clauses in ISO/IEC 17025 – Management Requirements and Technical requirements. Management requirements are

PRESENCE OF TESTING LABORATORIES (GOVERNMENT AND PRIVATE)

15

Presence of Testing Laboratories (Government and Private)


related to the operation and effectiveness of the quality management system within the laboratory and this clause has similar requirements to ISO 9001. Technical requirements address the competence of staff, testing methodology, equipment, reporting of test and calibration results.

In these 3 mentioned countries testing guidelines forfishandfisheryproductsandrespectiveacceptablelimitsareclearlydefinedbyownregulations / standards (which is not the case for the other countries).These 3 countries would also follow the EU Directive.

Based on data received, labs in Kenya and Uganda (mostly private ones) seem to be the most competent ones.

Kenya• Maintestinglabsforfishandfisheryproducts

are KEBS and Public Health Labs (these are Government labs) and SGS (private).

• All parameters mentioned can be performed locally.

• Histamine would be outsourced.

Uganda• Main testing lab is Chemiphar (the only private

lab).http://www.chemiphar.com/nl/over_chemiphar/chemiphar_%28u%29_ltd-109.html• Other labs: UNBS / Dept. of Water Laboratory /

University Lab Vet Public Health (Government labs,butnotnecessarilyusedfortestingoffishandfisheryproducts).

• All parameters mentioned can be performed locally, except for heavy metals and Residual Chemicals, including PCBs and PAH, which would be outsourced, namely to Belgium and Netherlands.

• ItisworthnotingthatthefishspeciesinUganda are not known to produce Histamine

Tanzania• Maintestinglabsforfishandfisheryproducts

are Fish QC Lab, TBS, TIRDO, TFDA and GCLA (both private and Government labs).

• All microbiological parameters mentioned can be performed locally.

• Chemical parameters will usually be outsourced to Chemiphar Lab in Uganda.

• Pesticide PAH, Dioxin and heavy metals would be outsourced abroad.

Mainfindingsandwayforward

Fisheries and aquaculture play a vital role in the economic development of most of the concerned African states.Sectorisdominatedbyfreshwatertypefishingwith3mainfishspeciesandlimitedaquaculture.Only Kenya seems to be involved really in marine typefishing.

Export on the whole is still very limited. Export products not really high value added products – more frozen type.3 main countries involved in export, the rest mostly forlocalconsumption(mainlywholefish–fresh),elsefishingsectornon-existent. Twomajorsourcesoffishforuseasfood or feed. Wildcaughtfish,providingthe world with food and feed. Targeting wildfishstocks. Small to gigantic scale operations. Product comes as-it-is. Farmedfish,mainlyproviding the world with products for human consumption. Fishfarmingusessmallfishfrom thewildorhatchedfishasstock forgrowing.Farmedfishis fedwithfishmealoragricultural products. Small to large scale operations. Farming practice has major influenceonnutritional quality,foodsafetyandfishsize. Choice of species is based on market demand and technical considerations. Connectionbetweenfishingand aquaculture industry Most farmed species eat products originatingfromfisheries,fishmeal andfishoil.


NGO’s, consumers, industry, retailers and governments have concerns about:Wildcaughtfish Stock depletion (also bycatch, discards) Habitat impact (coral reefs, sea bed, ETP species) Ecosystem impact (trophic level of targetspecies–fisheatsfish!)Farmedfish Food safety (animal drugs, hygiene) Animal welfare Environmental impact (biodiversity, waste water, feed production) Feed conversion

It is interesting to know who’s driving the markets for quality control and analysis. Usually this is the local government (legislation), but it could also be clients such as EU-importers and the tourism sector. Hence, explaining the differences which exist between the 9 concerned states.

The more there is processing, the more control there should be. Also, if a country wants to export then there must be some quality control into place.

Ifthefishiseatenquicklyafterfishingthenqualitycan be controlled easily without much investment – can rely on basic inspection procedures. Keeping thefishcoolatalltimeswouldberecommended.Itisimportanttonotethatawholefishalwayshasa lot of bacteria, hence bacteria analysis as such isnotofmuchuse(theoutsideskinofthefish–mucus – contains bacteria at the start).

However, once there is some processing being carriedout(e.g.fillets)andthefishcanbecontaminated by some outside elements then some microbiological and histamine analysis would be important. Whicheverthecountry’slevelintermsoffishingactivity, we would expect the pool of inspectors performing quality control to have basic knowledge tocheckthefishqualityandfreshnessthroughsome simple procedures / methodology; they should have followed at least an awareness course on HACCP which is a generic system of food safetyandbeacquaintedwiththefishingindustry.

For assessing freshness:• Fishshouldsmellfreshandmild,notfishy,

sour, or ammonia-like.• Afish’seyesshouldbeclearandbulgealittle

(exceptforafewnaturallycloudy-eyedfishtypes)

• Wholefishandfiletsshouldhavefirm,shinyfleshandbrightredgillsfreefromslime.Dullfleshcouldmeanthefishisold.Note:Fishfilletsthathavebeenpreviouslyfrozenmayhave lost some of their shine, but they arefinetoeat.

• Thefleshshouldspringbackwhenpressed.• Fishfilletsshoulddisplaynodarkeningor

drying around the edges. They should have no green or yellowish discoloration, and should not appear dry or mushy in any areas.

But this is just basic, and depending on the type offishthiscandiffer.Obviously:filletsdon’thave eyes to look at. And this is why we would recommend some basic microbiological testing (in line with EU Directive 2073) as well as histamine analysis and/or Total Volatile Base Nitrogen (TVBN) to be carried out whenever there is some processing being done. Histamine gives an indication whether temperature has been altered during the process. TVBN can give an indication onthefreshnessofthefish.Infrozenfish,acidsandphosphatescanbeused to retain water after defrosting - there is a maximum amount of phosphates allowed in EU, and so this could be some test criteria too. Formarinetypefishwewoulddefinitelyrecommend testing on heavy metals to be carried out, including Arsenic.TestingonmorespecificparametersforexportoffishandfisheryproductstoEU,suchasPAHandDioxins as per EU requirements can be outsourced to an accredited lab outside the concerned state. These are much specialised testing requested usually once annually and they are rather expensive too.

Onthetopicoffoodpoisoningduetofishconsumptiononecanfindagoodoverviewofagents including Histamine and Arsenic on: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scombroid_food_poisoningFDA and FAO websites are good sources of information on the topic. As per information gathered, countries can be grouped as follows in terms of quality control and testing:

Presence of Testing Laboratories (Government and Private)


1. 1Best organized ones (also the ones exporting outside Africa) – Uganda and Kenya / Tanzania also making its way

2. In-between ones – Zambia / Zimbabwe / Malawi

3. Least controls – Rwanda / Burundi / Swaziland (butalsoverylimitedfishindustrywithnoimportcontrolonfishnorVeterinary

Servicesnecessarilyavailable–fishwouldbemostly consumed fresh)

ForthefirstgroupofcountriesneedtohaveaCompetentAuthoritywithofficiallab(s)attachedto it together with Veterinary services familiar with sampling processes and well versed with the EU directive 2002/69.There is a need to understand how come Uganda is said not to have any Veterinary Services.

Furthermore there is a need to get further information on the mentioned labs within these 3 countries - where are they situated: is it near the mainfishingportareas/whattimedoesittaketohavethefishsamplestothelab/howaresamplesconditioned to ensure they are not tampered / is there a proper sample reception policy in place at the lab / are there cold room facilities available at portstokeepfish/arethosefacilitiesmonitored/etc

Hence,thefirstplacetostartwoulddefinitelybewithinthese3countries(thefirstgroup)tofurtherassess the capabilities of the people there and current infrastructure.

It could be worth starting within Uganda and Kenya:• The labs mentioned should be visited• Thegapstobefulfilled,ifany,mustbe

identifiedthroughproperon-siteassessment• The CA / Vet services must be interviewed

Onceconfidentthattheyhavethecapabilitiesandthe required expertise then could use these as basis for further training to the rest of the states moving into the second group of countries, then to the third one eventually afterwards.

What has been highlighted from numerous studies is that there exists a huge potential forincreasingfishproductionthroughcapturefisheriesandaquacultureincountrieslikeMalawiand Zimbabwe. This will contribute towards food security, income and employment, with surplus

production earmarked for the export market to earn foreign exchange, thereby propelling socio-economic development. To achieve this goal, projects need to be initiated to eliminate constraints infishproductionandlimitationsinfishexportpotential.
