9 COLEACP in Nigeria - partnerships Working relationship with several donors and projects working in the horticultural sector : DFID GEM s 4 tomato value chain IFDC 2scale project vegetable producers

10 COLEACP in Nigeria - actions In the field : One session of training of trainers 12 trainees in collaboration with IFDC 2 scale Collective training sessions on safe use of pesticides, traceability, hygiene and food safety 16 companies and cooperatives Collective training on Hygiene with FFDVAN 20 ADPs and traders from Kano, Kaduna and Lagos states in collaboration with DFID GEM s 4 In house support for an exporting company (Ugu exported to UE) and a pineapple cooperative -FSMS diagnosis training in traceability, Hhgiene, GAP and SUP

11 What happened in Kenya? 2009, 34,997 tons of French beans were exported from Kenya to the European Union Between , increase in the number of interceptions of Kenyan beans at EU borders due to pesticides MRL exceedances In January 2013, Kenyan beans were listed as "highrisk" under Regulation EC 669/2009, and subject to increased testing on EU entry at a level of 10%.

12 What happened in Kenya? Setting up of National food safety coordinating committee National action plan to : - improve practices and procedures in the supply chain - improve practices and procedures in inspection services and in pesticides residue monitoring Request COLEACP support for implementation and work with other agencies / donors

13 Support to the Private Sector Fruit and vegetables In Kenya

14 Private sector F&V - Beneficiaries - 75 export companies (small, medium and large sourcing from 35,000 small farmers) all crops - 55 service providers - 5 Small-holder support structures - 1 professional association (FPEAK) - 3 companies developing bio-pesticides - 1 local/regional auditing and certification body

15 Private sector F&V support provided - Food safety management systems implementation (packhouse and field levels) - Sustainable production systems implementation - Capacity building: - Hygiene and traceability, Safe use of pesticides, crop protection, first aid, OHS, IPM, waste management, composting - Risk assessment, HACCP, - Internal audit - Change management - Social Responsibility

16 Private sector F&V support provided MRL - Trouble shooting mission - Review of GAP in 37 companies, focus pest management problems. - Training of technical staff / middle managers (key messages) - Coaching sessions (particularly with the spraying team) and follow up

17 Support to the public sector Fruit and vegetables In Kenya

18 KEPHIS - Kenya Plant health Inspectorate Service PCPB Pest Control Products Board KALRO (KARI) - Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Organization HCD(A) - Horticultural Crops Directorate

19 KEPHIS What has been done: focus on the KEPHIS laboratory Since 2005 under both PIP and EDES programs support was provided on : Measurement of uncertainty Procedural guidance and training in pesticide residue analysis Training and advice in basic laboratory statistics, equipment maintenance and requirements for supervised field trials. Laboratory business plan development Training in quality assurance and in laboratory management

20 KEPHIS In 2013: MRL crisis emerged Problem definition - Problem definition According FVO audits, KEPHIS has to address two main problems which should be solved simultaneously with external expertise: - Performance capability & capacity of the lab for pesticide residue analysis too limited to meet the needs of national official controls. - Residue monitoring and control plans need to be in-line with risk: risk factors are not currently included in the design of these programmes.

21 KEPHIS In 2013: MRL crisis emerged Adapted the existing MoA with KEPHIS, to specifically address the MRL crisis. KEPHIS staff supported through laboratory quality management & method development (training & technical assistance) to develop their capacity to conduct routine pesticide residues analysis and to expand scope of ISO17025 accreditation conducted with UAL- Spain Training in pesticides analysis and methods validation was also provided COLEACP also provided an EU expert to assist with the development of an improved pesticide residue sampling plan.

22 KEPHIS Actions implemented Activity 1: Laboratory organization assessment and needs identification February 2015 Activity 2: Training on GC/MSMS, LC-MS/MS system April May 2015 Activity 3: Development of pesticide residue analytical methods June 2015 Activity 4: Inter-comparison laboratory tests June-July 2015 Activity 5: Training to design pesticide residue monitoring and control plans in line with the risk profiling Activity 6: Support to develop an action plan detailing priority plant health measures required to address EU non-compliances concerning plants and plant products exported to the EU. Completed July 2014 Activity 7: Support for KEPHIS inspection services with regard to harmful organisms such as False Codling Moth on Capsicum Completed 2015

23 PCPB What has been done Bio-efficacy training at CRD (ex-psd) in York, UK Training in residues, consumer risk, ITs, MRLs.

Training in biopesticide registration and scope of EU legislation. Study tour to EU biopesticide production facilities. Purchase of Statistical package for the analysis of efficacy/mrl trials data Review options for upgrading of the PCPB product registration database.

24 PCPB Actions implemented b/t in collaboration with CRD - UK - Upgrading PCPB website to allow free access to information on registered products - Data collection on PPPs on the Kenyan market (names, types, formulations, labels, sources/importers/producers, volumes, quality if available) and number and location of retailers - Training on pesticide quality monitoring and evaluation of the current system

25 PCPB Actions implemented b/t in collaboration with CRD - UK - Training and technical assistance on Quality Monitoring Plan and calculation of the number of samples - Overview for Kenyan stakeholders on pesticide registration process, including risk assessment, role of efficacy and residue trials -PCPB officers - Training on Crop grouping - Coaching for PCPB officers to improve the flow of pesticide registration process

26 KALRO MoA in March 2014: Support Plant clinics initiative Training of trainers for staff who provide diagnostic and technical back-up for plant clinics. Training content: pest and diseases diagnosis and biology, principles of crop protection, Good Crop Protection Practices, training skills KALRO staff will then train 80 Plant Doctors (government extension officers).

27 HCD Implemented actions Good agricultural practices: - 4 Training of Trainers courses for extension officers (79 trained) SAGANA 24th-29th June 2013 FTW : Hyg. Trac.

29 What about about Nigeria Short term : restore confidence Convinced the EU authorities that controls are efficient Medium and long term CB at all levels of the supply chain in order to put in place sustainable production and management systems

30 Some keys points - All stakeholders involved and responsible : combine efforts from both public and private sectors - Coordination and dialogue amongst stakeholders and with EU (DG Health) - Actions based on risk analysis - CB according to the needs (tailor made) -
