37 Agro-processors trained in food safety under JSIF /RADA programme

Through funding from the JSIF implemented, Rural Economic Development Initiative (REDI) Project, 37 persons from selected communities, in 8 parishes were yesterday (December 2, 2015) certified under the JSIF/RADA Food Safety and Product Development Training Programme. Under the programme, participants were given training in Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP); Good Manufacturing Practices; Record keeping, and General Business Management, all geared towards building the technical capacity of the participants and essentially equip them with the necessary tools, to position their products for sale within the local tourism industry and ultimately the international market.
