FAS Funds New USMEF-led Capacity Building Project

USMEF is collaborating with USDA Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) and U.S. Poultry and Egg Export Council (USAPEEC) to conduct a project designed to train sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) regulatory officials in China.

The project will be funded through USDA Global Broad-Based Initiatives (GBI) with a total of $229,925 allocated to the project. The goal is to provide 15 key SPS regulatory officials in the Chinese government with the tools, knowledge and procedures needed to create a fair and transparent import system, based on sound science that adheres to international standards.

To reach the project goals, training will be divided into two phases. The first phase will include four weeks of formal classroom training in China, followed by two weeks of training at a U.S. university or other institution qualified to provide effective meat hygiene or SPS risk assessment, management and communication training. The second phase will provide participants with applied knowledge as they undertake projects in China with U.S. trainers demonstrating the principles of risk analysis, especially risk assessment and risk management, in a Chinese facility.
