55 Part 4 - How to access the EU Market

56 In Europe 1. Requirements for food are very strict 2. Preference for sustainable supply chains and products 3. Trade fairs with global reach to meet buyers 4. Buyers directories 5. More intel for market entry

57 1. Requirements for food are very strict EU food law (contaminants, MRLs, additives, contact materials, hygiene, labelling, traceability) Buyers may have stricter requirements than legal requirements! Buyers often need GLOBALGAP, BRC, or IFS. For flowers: GLOBALGAP or MPS (Fair Flowers Fair Plants) LocalGAP an option for emerging producers, e.g Zimbabwe (Programs of Pick n Pay and Shoprite in S.A.) Local challenge: accreditation Avoid the Kenya case: ban on peas/beans... (MRLs)

58

59 2. Preference for sustainable supply chains and products European consumers are concerned about how their food is produced! Corporate Social Responsibility: friendly to the environment and people. If your company is doing well in terms of social responsibility use that to promote your company and products!
