Facts in the Sanitary and Phytosanitary/Technical Barriers to
Trade Environment
There is a huge potential for intra Africa trade on agricultural products but
compliance with food safety and quality assurance standards is a necessity.
There is an alarming increase of food safety risk cases in the world calling for
intensified measures through out the value chain. 600 Million cases of foodborne diseases in 2010
❖ Salmonella & E.coli appeared to be some of the major problems
Participation of PDIs in the formal market is a challenge
❖ Training and certification of farmers on Food Safety and Quality systems is key e.g.
APS Act, SAGAP, HACCP, ISO 22000
N.B. Almost 1 in 10 people in the world – fall ill after eating contaminated food and 420 000 die every year
8
Global disease burden
Of the approximately 600 million cases of illness caused by the 31 foodborne hazards
in 2010, infectious agents that cause diarrhoeal diseases accounted for the
vast majority (550 million), in particular norovirus (120 million cases) and
Campylobacter spp. (96 million cases). Among other hazards, hepatitis A virus, the
helminth Ascaris spp. and the typhoid bacterium Salmonella Typhi were frequent causes of
foodborne illness, causing 14, 12 and 7.6 million cases, respectively.
