What is a standard? A document

established by consensus and approved by a recognized body

that provides for common and repeated use rules, guidelines or characteristics

for activities or their results aimed at the achievement of the

optimum degree of order in a given context

Levels of standardization • International – e.g. ISO, IEC, ITU, Codex Alimentarius

• Regional – e.g. EU, SAARC

• National – e.g. SLS, BS, IS

• Company

Draft Sri Lanka Standard on Good Agricultural

Practices

Part 1 : Fresh Fruits & Vegetables

SCOPE • This Standard prescribes the GAP to be applied for

sustainable production of fruits and vegetables that is

legally compliant, environmentally sound, socially

acceptable and economically viable to ensure quality

produce that is suitable for human consumption.

person(s), corporate entities and organizations from

fulfilling criteria laid down in the standards for

product(s) that use(s) the SLS mark

Draft Sri Lanka Standard

CODE OF HYGIENIC PRACTICE FOR FRESH GREEN LEAFY VEGETABLES

• Scope-

This Standard provides specific guidance to minimize the food safety risks associated with fresh leafy vegetables that are intended to be consumed without cooking during their production, harvesting, packaging, processing, storage, distribution, marketing and consumer use. This includes fresh, fresh-cut, pre-cut or ready-to-eat products such as pre-packaged salads.

REQUIREMENTS DOCUMENT REQUIREMENTS

• Traceability

The produce shall be traceable to the farm where it has been originally produced.

• Record keeping

Farms should keep up-to-date records. A record keeping system should be established in which all the essential elements are captured from land preparations, planting, harvesting, including farm gate delivery. The records should be accessible and audited. All farm records should be treated as confidential.

EU TRENDS IN FFV

IMPORTS TO EU- Fresh Fruits

• Exotics and out-of-season products dominate fruit imports: Bananas represent about 45% of the imported fruit from outside of the EU, followed by pineapples (8%), oranges (7%) and grapes (5%).

IMPORTS TO EU - vegetables

• Import source of vegetables near destination market: For vegetables, the main imported products from outside the EU are tomatoes (23%), potatoes (13%), onions (13%), sweet

peppers (capsicum) (9%) and beans (9%).

Leading development countries in the supply of fresh fruit to the EU in 2014 in million tonnes and their

import share in percentage

• Côte d'Ivor (1%) • Dominican Republic (1%) • Turkey (1%) • Peru (1%) • Chile (2%) • Brazil (2%) • South Africa (4%) • Colombia (4%) • Ecuador (6%) • Costa Rica (7% ) •

2014 )

• Grapes • Apples • Oranges • Bananas • Melons • Peaches and nectarines • Mandarins and alike • Pears • Plums and sloes • Strawberries • Other

Consumers want convenience

CONSUMPTION IN EU

• Attention to higher-value products: • Current developments reflect consumer attention to higher-

value products.

• Especially in Northern Europe, consumers have become more conscious of sustainability (e.g. organic and fair trade products), as well as with regard to aspects relating to health and quality (e.g. ripeness and taste).

• Retailers are offering a wider range of products (e.g. by adding freshly cut and more exotic types of fruit and vegetables to their assortments). Consider Trends for fresh fruit and vegetables.

main points of entry - EU

• The Netherlands as the main point of entry: The Netherlands is the biggest importer from outside the EU

with almost 2.6 million tons of fruit and 367 thousand tons of vegetables.

• Belgium and the UK are also major importers of fresh fruit from developing countries.

• Ports in the Netherlands and Belgium share many years of experience with fresh produce, holding a strong position as entry points into mainland Europe.

• Bananas account for about half of Belgium’s fresh-fruit imports. In early 2015, the multinational banana brand Chiquita changed its European entry point to the port of Vlissingen in the Netherlands.
