On 2 May 2003, the Government of Vietnam issued the Decree No 43/2003/ND-CP on the function, task and organization restructuring of Ministry of Fisheries. According to this decree, NAFIQACEN and Fishery Resource Protection Department is merged to a new organization called National Fisheries Quality and Veterinary Department (NAFIQAVED). This restructuring purposed to ensure the more effective operation ‘from farm to wholesale’. NAFIQAVED is now the competent authority to guide and inspect quality and safety assurance of food industry, in order to ensure the safety of final product and protect the consumers.

Lots of trainings were organized for both private sectors and regulators to enable them to have a better understanding on the HACCP, which should not be seen as a trade barrier, but as measures to ensure product safety. 2003 is the sixth year since HACCP was implemented in Thailand. Though there are still a few problems faced, it has been much less than in the beginning. This report will describe the progress made in the application of HACCP in the export fish industry in Thailand, problems encountered, and planned strategy to overcome the problems.

These establishments produce a wide range of fish products such as comminuted fish products, e.g. fish ball and fish cake; Chinese delicacies, e.g. dried shark fin; and frozen and chilled seafood, e.g. prawn, fish fillet and mollusc. The majority of the fish processing establishments produce for domestic market while others produce mainly for export.

Yeap, Soon Eong; Hariono, Ira BFAR, as the regulatory agency for fish and fish products for export, has initiated a mandatory accreditation programme for fish processing plants based on verified HACCP compliance in conformance to international requirements for the export of fish and aquaculture products. This accreditation is carried out to enable the fish processors to continue their exports to EU and US and other export markets where mandatory implementation of HACCP is required. The mandatory accreditation programme requires the company to submit its Licence to Operate (LTO), Quality/ Safety Assurance Programme, which include the HACCP plan for the specific products to be exported as well as Sanitation Standard Operating Procedures (SSOP). LTO, issued by the Department of Health-Bureau of Food and Drugs, will be released to the company on the basis of their compliance to GMP and SSOP.
