Nigeria here we come!!

In the year 2015 our magazine’s focus will be on unlocking distribution and coverage of Nigeria

Nigeria is a paradox. Africa’s biggest economy, worth some US$ 594 billion as per the revised Gross Domestic Product (GDP) figures, Nigeria is one country that even those from Africa struggle to comprehend.

From having the Continent’s highest population which stands at an (un) enviable 170 million plus, to the Boko Haram insurgency that, to us outsiders, seems to put this country on the edge of breaking in two at any moment, the perception of Nigeria as a place to do business remains mixed at best.

In terms of numbers, it will be difficult to beat Nigeria soon. The country’s population is expected to surpass that of the United States before the middle of the century. By the end of the century, Nigeria could start to rival China as the second most populous country in the world, according to the World Population Prospects: The 2012 Revision, by the UN.

However, it is worth noting that despite the negative press and some outright outrageous feelings about Nigeria, the last few years have been good for Nigeria, not least the elevation of its economy to be number one in Africa and 26th in the World. “The fact that many industries are larger than previously thought may pique investors’ interest, while the psychological boost of overtaking South Africa could give the country more influence on the world

stage” notes according to Christie Viljoen, Senior Economist, NKC Independent Economists.

With a national Government that has worked tirelessly to change the country’s perception and made a number of policy changes in agriculture, agro-processing, energy and gas and business regulations, Nigeria’s star was already starting to burn bright by the time the rebased GDP figures were released.

FDI interest in Nigeria should remain strong thanks to the large consumer market it offers, combined with the prospect of rising incomes

Viljoen notes that “FDI interest in Nigeria should remain strong thanks to the large consumer market it offers, combined with the prospect of rising incomes” and that “irrespective of the fairly challenging operating environment, the Nigerian market cannot be ignored simply due to the sheer size of it”.

For these reasons, we have seen a recent rise in new office openings and pronouncements by major food and beverage multinationals, suppliers

and service providers about investing in Nigeria. The local players and multinationals that have already been in Nigeria are also upping the stakes in the country.

We have therefore placed Nigeria as a priority market for our magazine, and can finally announce that beginning the next issue of our magazine, we shall be distributing Food Business Africa magazine into Nigeria! The year 2015 is going to be the Year of Nigeria for us.

While this is an exciting move for us, we realise that after Eastern Africa, the Western part of Africa are priority regions for many of the food and beverage industry’s readers, investors, suppliers and service providers. We would like to cover these two regions with our magazine to meet these stakeholders’ needs.

It also makes a lot of business sense to our advertisers and partners that we cover Nigeria. This will enable them to reach a wider African audience with their products and services.

In this issue, we have partnered with the Food Processing & Packaging Exposyum to bring you a Special Issue of the magazine. We have also introduced stand-alone articles on Processing, Packaging and Nutrition, that will be part of our regular topics going forward.

This Special Issue will be distributed to all the Exposyum attendees, plus our regular distribution across Eastern Africa. It is our sincere hope that you enjoy this Issue, and that we can meet again when we resume our regular issue with our first 2015 issue due out in January 2015.

Have a good read.

Nestlé opens its most water efficient factory in Mexico

MEXICO - Nestlé has opened its most water efficient factory in the world in Mexico, in a move that the company plans to replicate in other Nestlé factories globally.

Through new processes that deliver significant efficiencies, Nestlé’s Cero Agua dairy factory in the central, waterstressed state of Jalisco will move towards being a zero-water factory.

It will use mostly recycled water from its dairy operations.

“In Mexico, and around the world, water is a vital and fragile resource,” said Nestlé CEO Paul Bulcke.

“Due to the relevance of water in the production of food and its role in the preservation of life, Nestlé worldwide will continue to pursue initiatives that contribute to the maintenance and access to natural resources.”

The Cero Agua dairy factory takes fresh cow’s milk, normally around 88% water, and heats it at low pressure to remove some of its water content.

The resulting steam is then

condensed and treated and used to clean the evaporating machines themselves.

Once the machines have been flushed out, the water is then collected once more, purified and recycled a second time. The water can then be reused for watering gardens or cleaning.

Reusing water from the milk in this way removes the need to extract groundwater for operations.

The Cero Agua project is just one of a number of water-saving initiatives the company has introduced at its factories around the world in recent years.

Nestlé currently has more than 170 water-saving projects in its factories, saving 3.6 million m3.

Worldwide, Nestlé aims to further reduce its water withdrawal per tonne of product by 40% by 2015, compared to 2005.

Nestlé has reduced water withdrawals by 33.3% per tonne of production since 2005, while water discharges per tonne of product have been reduced by 48.5% since 2005.

Ingredion buys Penford in deal

US – Ingredion, a leading global provider of ingredient solutions to diversified industries, has announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Penford Corporation, a U.S.based leader in specialty ingredients for food and non-food applications.

The deal worth US$340 million has been approved by the boards of directors of both companies.

“This acquisition is another step in executing our strategic blueprint for growth. It expands our highervalue specialty portfolio, establishes

manufacturing of specialty potato starches in North America, and builds our presence in nature-based hydrocolloid ingredients,” said Ilene Gordon, Ingredion chairman and CEO.

Penford supplies a range of texture solutions for food, including customized combinations of texture ingredients with a particular emphasis on potato starches.

The deal is subject to approval by Penford’s shareholders and regulators as well as to other customary closing conditions and is expected to close in 2015.

Danone, Mengniu expand China partnership into infant formula

CHINA - Danone the French food group, has entered into a partnership agreement with Mengniu to have a 25% equity stake in Yashili, one of China’s main infant milk companies.

The deal, through a private placement by Danone and is worth €437 million, will, as part of the agreement, allow Danone to recommend candidates to serve as Yashili’s CEO.

This transaction extends the scope of the strategic alliance in fresh dairy products first established in 2013 between Mengniu, Danone and COFCO, China’s leading state-owned company in the food sector.

Through this alliance, Danone, Mengniu and Yashili intend to expand and strengthen their cooperation in the infant milk formula business in China. The parties will study the possibility of an

equity investment in Danone’s subsidiary Dumex China with a comparable minority stake.

Emmanuel Faber, Danone CEO, said “Building on our successful cooperation in fresh dairy products, we are today strengthening the winning team formed by Danone and Mengniu by acquiring an equity stake in Yashili—combining Mengniu’s wide-reaching network in China with Danone’s international expertise in infant milk products. I am delighted with this transaction and am confident in our ability to grow all of our brands in the Chinese market.”

Danone’s acquisition of an equity stake in Yashili is subject to the approval of the company’s shareholders and of the relevant authorities. It is expected to be finalized in coming months.

Dominos Pizza commences Kenyan operations

US – Dominos Pizza, one of the world’s leading fast food operators has opened its inaugural stores in Nairobi, Kenya as the pizza giant seeks to stamp its mark on Africa.

The new outlets have been opened in Nairobi’s Mama Ngina Street and Westlands, with the chain expceted to open Gigiri and Nyali, Mombasa branches in the next few months.

The Westlands stort is located on the same street as the KFC outlet.

The facility also houses Cold Stone Creamery. According to earlier media reports, Cold Stone Creamery is entering the local market through a 10-year franchise deal with Om Nom Nom Mauritius Ltd, a firm that also operates in the East Africa region.

The Kenyan operations follow recent reports from Taste Holdings, the Dominos franchise holder in Southern Africa, that Dominos is aiming to have 150 Domino’s Pizza outlets by December next year, a footprint that would cement

the restaurant group’s place in SA’s fastgrowing pizza category, according to CEO Carlo Gonzaga. The company has stated that it intends to aggressively expand in Africa.

Competition in the South African fast food segment is intensifying, with YUM! Brands’ Pizza Hut having re-entered the country after a six-year hiatus. Local players such as Famous Brands-owned Debonairs, Spur Corporation’s Panarottis and private player Romans Pizza are expanding aggressively, reports BD Live.

Taste is opening its first Domino’s Pizza store soon and has signed a franchise agreement in April for the brand in SA as well as six other African countries. Expansion of Domino’s Pizza will be through new store openings and the conversion of Taste’s current pizza brands, Scooters and St Elmo’s, added BD Live.

SABMiller opens new Namibian brewery

The new brewery is reputed to be one of the most efficient and environmentallyfriendly of its size

NAMIBIA – SABMiller has opened its first Namibian brewery. The brewery, located in the Okahandja locality, 70 km north of Windhoek, has production capacity of 260,000 hectolitre (26 million litres) of beer a year. The company states that it spent about US$33.3 million to build the brewery which has been under construction since mid-2013.

SABMiller Namibia has previously imported all its beer from neighbouring South Africa. The company has an estimated 22% of the local market, with Namibia Breweries Limited having the majority of the market. SABMiller’s brands including Castle Lager, Carling Black Label and Castle Lite will be brewed on the new site in Okahanjda.

Mauricio Leyva MD of South African Breweries (SAB), said: “We expect the new Okahandja brewery to contribute to the creation of a vibrant manufacturing sector through which we will accelerate the emergence of small and medium sized Namibian businesses and help create a growing population of skilled

employees by supporting education and providing training.”

SABMiller’s investments in Namibia, and more broadly across the continent, underline the company’s belief in the region and its ability to drive long-term growth in Africa.

The Namibian brewery will be one of SABMiller’s most efficient and environmentally-friendly breweries of its size in the world. Since work began on the brewery’s construction, at least 30 million non-returnable glass bottles have been converted into returnable bottles and cardboard packaging previously used has been replaced with plastic crates to be used at the new brewery.

In addition, the brewery will use just 3.25 litres of water per litre of beer in the brewing process.

SABMiller Namibia is 60% owned by SABMiller and 40% by local Namibian partners comprising 20% Onyewu Investments (Pty) Ltd and 20% by three charitable trusts for the benefit of local communities.

Role of Packaging in Reducing Food Loss

By Loretta Mugo

Food loss by definition refers to food that is spilled, spoilt, incurs a reduction in quality, a result of negligence or simply, the unintended result of processing, of the edible portion of food.

Food loss occurs in the food value chain from the time of harvest through to processing until it is delivered to the end consumer.

Food loss is a tragedy in Africa! According to Food and Agriculture organization of the UN, in Sub-Saharan Africa net food production stands at 230 million tons per year. Out of this, greater than 40% is lost for the duration of post-harvest handling. To put this into perspective, the 40% is worth a staggering US $ 4 billion per year - or enough to feed at least 48 million people.

The Packaging advantage

On a global scale, more than 30% of the food produced ends up in the garbage. This amount of food trashed is estimated at 1.3 million tons per year - or enough to feed 3 billion people - greater than the number of people starving in the world, who are 925 million out of the 7 billion of us.

The causes of food loss are vast and varied. Technical causes are such as poor post-harvest handling practices, drying techniques and high moisture levels. Subsequently, after processing and packaging, some of the causes include inadequate storage, filth and contamination, and infestation by microorganisms, insects, rodents and other pests.

Africa is dealt a body blow from two angles: it lacks the capacity to feed itself, and high levels of food loss in the farm and post-harvest of the little food

In view of the above mentioned challenges, the key stakeholders in the food value chain should feel the need to re-strategize food production to combat this disaster. Lucky for us, a plethora of opportunities exist to reduce food loss one of them being packaging innovation.

Proper packaging provides Africa with the tools to not only reduce food loss by also to add value to its agricultural produce and processed foods.

These prospects are such as:

• Improving ventilation of packaging materials for better temperature control to prevent spoilage of fresh produce - This should be practiced especially during transport and storage prior to consumption.

• Use of packaging that extends shelf life of fresh produce i.e. modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) - The essence of MAP is to seal the food product in a package which contains a mixture of natural gases in carefully controlled proportions that significantly slow down the process of decay by inhibiting processes of oxidation and the growth of microbes. Hence, spoilage is markedly reduced and the shelf life of the product is increased.

• We can also adopt new materials that are more rigid and tamper proof, therefore protect the food better, such as glass or metal or more rigid plastics such as HDPE.

• Use of retail ready packaging which prevents double-

it produces. Inadequate infrastructure (to grow, harvest, process, store and distribute its food) and inadequate knowledge leads to huge economic and nutritional losses in the continent.

These losses can be quantitative, causing a reduced weight of the produce, or qualitative, which implies a change in appearance, taste or nutritional value and subsequently the food’s economic value.

Food losses and waste in effect has repercussions on hunger, poverty alleviation, income generation and economic growth. Where a product is consumed directly by the producer, quantitative losses cause less food to be available and therefore contribute to food insecurity. Qualitative losses may cause a reduced nutritional status, whereas low quality products may also be unsafe with adverse effects on the health, wellbeing and productivity of the consumer.

Whereas International organization such as Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) have long recognized the importance of concerted efforts to battle food loss, players in the food value chain must also lend a hand to minimize this tragedy.

handling of product, thus minimizing damage and contamination.

• Proper labelling of product to better educate the consumer on best-before dates and ideal storage conditions.

• Integrated materials handling & warehouse management systems at the production and distribution stage - This would be necessary for food production facilities because managing product waste is a tangible area where capital investment can lead to great returns, if waste is repurposed.

We should avoid the three major external influences that cause food loss: chemical, physical and Biological in whatever way possible, through appropriate packaging.

Obviously there’s more we can do but these are just some of the tried and tested measures we can take to protect our food. In doing so, we retard product deterioration, retain the beneficial effects of processing, extend shelf-life, and maintain or even increase the quality and safety of our food.

We know that some losses are inevitable such as the trimmings from fresh produce. However, these too can be repurposed in making compost manure, animal feed and green energy such as bio-gas.

When you are about to throw away food, think of such things and have a food waste free month.

EMERGENCE OF

RETAIL IN UGANDA

Bright prospects are evident for the food and beverage processing sector in Uganda as the East African country goes through a boom in emergence in formal retail outlets in the country. Uganda is East Africa’s number three economy, after Kenya and Tanzania, with Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of US$21.48 billion and a total population of 37.58 million in 2013 according to the World Bank.

According to a World Bank report Beyond the Nakumatt Generation: Distribution Services in East Africa that was released in 2011, increasing population, continued urbanization, higher incomes, and political

stability have propelled the growth of distribution services in East Africa during the last decade. The proliferation of supermarkets and large retail stores are among the most significant developments regarding the evolution of distribution services in the region.

Uganda’s rapid urbanisation and fast economic growth (projected to be 6.87% between 2014 and 2016, way above the rest of developing Africa’s 5%) and a young population (69% of population is below 25 years, with a median age of 15.5 years, according to Mundi) are some of the factors that are driving the recent growth in retail chains as investors jostle for space in the country’s

retail sector.

Abundant in agricultural produce including coffee, milk, sugar, maize and vegetables, the growth of agroprocessing for exports and local sales have provided the impetus for the growth of retail infrastructure in Uganda, as increasing population and rising incomes provide an incentive for investors to provide the convenience of formal retail outlets.

Uganda’s supermarkets have some of the highest growth rates in East Africa, growing 13% per annum, compared to Tanzania’s 12% and Kenya’s 7%. The sector continues to play a critical role in increasing the value of retail sales in

nascent

East Africa, that is set to grow from US$43 million in 2010 to US$70 million by 2015 according to the World Bank.

Informal retail still persists

A close observer of Uganda’s retail scene can recall the ‘supermarkets’ of the 1990s that were common in Kampala and in other towns across the country. These small one aisle retail outlets were basically dukas that the owners were ingenuous enough to convert into walk-in shops. It is common to see that even presently the road side kiosks in Uganda tend to allow the shopper more access into the shop, more than say, the Kenyan shop. The emergence of formal retail in the country has a lot to do with these basic structures.

However, it is important to note that despite the growth in formal retail, Uganda still largely relies on informal traders, kiosks, dukas and mini super markets.

South African pioneers opened up formal retail

The entry of South African giant retailers into the Ugandan market in the early 2000s was a game changer for the country’s retail trade. With Shoprite, one of Africa’s biggest retail chains opening shop in the country in 2003 the retail revolution began in the country.

Shoprite has grown over the years and currently operates three supermarkets in Clock Tower, Lugogo Mall and at Naalya, its most recent store.

The next South African chain to enter Uganda was Game, a subsidiary of Massmart. Massmart, itself now partly owned by Walmart, the world’s biggest retailer has one store located at the Lugogo Mall in Kampala.

Kenyan retailers troop in

South African retailers were pioneers, but it is becoming evident that the arrival of Kenyan supermarkets Nakumatt and Tuskys heralds the future shape that retail is going to take as the country’s retail scene evolves. With aggressive growth within and outside the Central Business District into the residential areas and towns like Mbarara, these two giants are poised to lead the sector in Uganda into the future.

Uchumi Supermarkets, the regional supermarket chain that is listed in Kenya, with cross-listing in Uganda, Rwanda and Tanzania was an early entrant to Uganda. The retailer has faced a challenging environment in the country, with sales falling 12 per cent in the 2014 year as it has faced competition and supply challenges in the country. Interviews with customers in Uganda point to lack of adequate stocks and poor location as some of the woes Uchumi faces in the country.

Tuskys and Nakumatt Supermarkets have been in Uganda for a relatively short time but have grown tremendously. Nakumatt currently has eight branches, with two of them located in Mbarara and Entebbe. Targeting the higher income consumer, Nakumatt’s strategy has been premised on becoming an anchor tenant in the malls that continue to proliferate in the city

Tuskys has grown into a seven branch chain in a short time it has been in Uganda. The chain has focused more on the

residential areas around Kampala, targeting areas with high populations to its advantage.

Local players emerge

Uganda arguably has the highest number of ‘supermarkets’ in Eastern Africa, if the number of walk-in dukas, minisupermarkets, supermarkets and hypermarkets are to go by. Every street corner has at least one supermarket, especially in Kampala.

It is worth noting that for a number of these outlets have grown to significant levels, providing some well needed competition to the foreign brands that have so far dominated the market.

A number of notable local players include Capital Shoppers, City Shoppers and Quality Supermarkets.

Capital Shoppers is the largest locally owned supermarket in the country with four branches around Kampala. Quality Supermarkets has three branches, also around the city.

However, there a long list of smaller supermarkets including Kenjoy, Express, Mega Mart, Embassy, and Coinworth.

MALLS DRIVE RETAIL GROWTH

Uganda’s retail resurgence is driven also by the emerging mall culture in the country. A drive around Kampala, Mbarara and other towns reveals an everchanging skyline, with malls continuing to dot the skyline of these towns.

Some of the malls include Lugogo Mall (Shoprite and Game), Garden City (Uchumi and Capital Shoppers), Ntinda Shopping Mall (Tuskys), Oasis (Nakumatt) Bugolobi Village Mall (Nakumatt), Quality Shopping Village (Quality) and Entebbe Victoria Mall (Nakumatt). Others include Metroplex, Acacia, and Freedom City malls.

It is expected that the aggressive growth in new malls’ construction will continue in Kampala and in other towns including Jinja, Entebbe, Mukono, Mbarara, Gulu and Mbale, further strengthening the retail trade in the country, continually eroding the non-formal trade in Uganda.

REVOLUTIONS IN VITAMIN D FORTIFICATION

By Liz Wawire

An exceptional one it is, vitamin D, also called ‘the sunshine vitamin’. It is the only vitamin that our body can produce, and absorb from food. An important vitamin for the food industry as well: many people rely on fortified foods and supplements to get adequate levels of this essential vitamin.

D for daily delight

The most important types of vitamin D for the human body are vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) and D3 (cholecalciferol). Vitamin D3 is the type that can be produced by the body, while both D2 and D3 can be obtained from the diet and from supplements.

Direct unfiltered exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet light allows our skin cells to synthesize vitamin D3 from the sun and convert it to calcitriol, the biologically active form. This calcitriol then acts as a hormone and stimulates intestinal absorption of calcium and phosphate.

As such, vitamin D is responsible for strong bones and teeth, while also having an effect on the body’s neuromuscular, cardiovascular and immune function. Ongoing research has also linked vitamin D to a reduced risk of diabetes and possibly some cancers.

Exposure to sunlight (on the face, arms and hands for example) is, especially in the East Africa region, the most physiologically relevant and efficient way of acquiring vitamin D, and should therefore be the body’s primary source.

The necessary exposure time does vary based on factors such as age, skin type and latitude. Dark skin needs more exposure because melanin in the skin acts as a UVB-filter, hindering the synthesis of vitamin D. But sedentary, urbanized and industrialized lifestyles coupled with the risk of skin cancer mean that many people nowadays do not get nearly enough vitamin D from the sun.

Only a limited number of foodstuffs naturally provide some amount of vitamin D: butter, eggs and beef liver for example, and fatty fish such as wild catfish, tuna and salmon. Obtaining adequate levels of vitamin D from such sources alone is close to impossible.

D-deficiency

In most countries, the recommended dietary allowances for adults, assuming minimal sun exposure, range from 600 IU (15 μg) to 800 IU (20 μg) per day. While population representative data is lacking in many countries, certainly in the African region, vitamin D deficiency is generally considered a major public health problem in all age groups worldwide, even in regions

with adequate UV radiation. It can lead to rickets (still among the most frequent childhood diseases in many developing countries), osteomalacia or osteoporosis, and may in addition increase the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, multiple sclerosis and a number of infectious diseases.

Infants are one of the most important populations at risk because of their high rate of skeletal growth and the low concentrations of vitamin D in breastmilk. Other population groups in focus are the elderly and pregnant women.

Enter supplementation and fortification.

The biggest dietary sources of vitamin D are in fact fortified foods and vitamin supplements. Cod-liver oil is one of the most common forms of dietary supplementation. Vitamin D is also included in most multivitamins.

Among the food stuffs that are often artificially fortified with vitamin D are milk, infant formula and other dairy products, margarine, juices and breakfast cereals. Vitamin D fortified milk specifically has played an important part in the elimination of childhood rickets in many industrialized countries and is still an important public health strategy for maintaining adequate levels of vitamin D in key populations.

Generally, the preferred form for fortification and supplementation is vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol). It is industrially produced by exposing 7-dehydrocholesterol (found in fish organs or lanolin) to UVB light, followed by purification.

Bio-fortification angle

A more novel approach is ‘bio-addition’: the addition of vitamin D-rich food to animal feed, or the post-harvest or pre-processing manipulation of food, for example exposing mushrooms or even chicken to UVB radiation.

Earlier this year, the European Food Safety Authority approved the use of baker’s yeast treated with UV irradiation. This exposure to UV induces the conversion of ergosterol to vitamin D2, making this revolutionary Canadian invention a non-fortified and vegetarian source of vitamin D, for use in baked goods and food supplements.

PROCESSING

OF FOODS IRRADIATION

Food irradiation is a processing technique that exposes food to electron beams, X-rays or gamma rays, according to the Food Standards Agency, UK.

A sometimes controversial food processing technique, irradiation produces a similar effect to pasteurisation, cooking or other forms of heat treatment, but with less effect on look and texture. Irradiated food has been exposed to radioactivity but does not become radioactive itself.

Food irradiation is used around the world to reduce bacterial load in fresh produce, meat, poultry, wheat flour, herbs, spices, pork and potatoes, among other foods. It is also widely used to sterilize medical and consumer products including baby pacifiers, wine and bottle corks and food packaging materials.

Food irradiation is a promising new food safety technology that can eliminate disease-causing microorganisms such

as E. coli O157:H7, campylobacter, and salmonella from foods.

The process

Food irradiation involves exposing food, either packaged or in bulk, to carefully controlled amounts of ionizing radiation for a specific time to achieve certain desirable objectives.

The sources of radiation used in the food industry include high-energy gamma rays, X-rays and accelerated electrons.

Accelerated electrons are a stream of high energy electrons, propelled out of an electron gun. The electron beam generator can be simply switched on or off. There are no radioactive materials in the process. The electrons can penetrate food only to a depth of a little over an inch.

Gamma rays and X-rays form part of the electromagnetic spectrum, like radio waves, microwaves, ultraviolet and visible light rays. Both Gamma and X-rays can penetrate foods to a depth of

NUTRITION, HEALTH & WELLNESS

several feet.

Food absorbs energy when it is exposed to ionising radiation. The amount of energy absorbed is called 'absorbed dose', which is measured in units called grays (Gy) or kilograys (kGy), where 1kGy = 1,000Gy.

The energy absorbed by the food causes the formation of short-lived molecules known as free radicals, which kill bacteria that cause food poisoning. They can also delay fruit ripening and help stop vegetables, such as potatoes and onions, from sprouting.

Irradiation can be used to kill bacteria that cause food poisoning, such as salmonella, campylobacter and E.coli.

Food safety and regulation

Irradiated foods are not changed in nutritional value and they don’t become dangerous as a result of irradiation. At irradiation levels approved for use on foods, there are no significant changes in the amino acid, fatty acid, or vitamin content of food.

A big advantage of irradiated food is that it is a cold process: the food is still essentially “raw”, because it hasn’t undergone any thermal process.

Food irradiation is not a substitute for good food-handling practices in the home: irradiated foods need to be stored, handled and cooked in the same way as un-irradiated foods.

According to BIOHAZ Panel, a panel put together by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) to assess irradiation of foods, irradiation should be considered as one of several approaches to reducing pathogens in food, e.g. integrated in a multi-hurdle strategy, thereby helping to ensure protection of consumers’ health. Food irradiation should only be used in conjunction with an integrated food safety management program.

The Panel also recommends that the application of food irradiation should be based on risk assessment and on the desired risk reduction.

Food irradiation does not make

the food it is applied on to become radioactive, and is a safe method for food processing if done the right way.

Special labelling is required on irradiated foods, including the international symbol of irradiation, known as a “radura”, and a statement indicating that the food was treated with irradiation.

WELCOME TO FPPE 2014

It is a great pleasure to welcome you all to the second edition of FPPE – Food Processing & Packaging Exposyum. After the success of 2013 it was only consequent to come back to Kenya. We started with 21 pioneers and look already in the second year at over 60 exhibitors. This is a great success and a seal of quality awarded by the exhibitors and visitors of the only dedicated international food processing & packaging event in East Africa.

This year’s edition will be remembered as the kick-off event against food loss and the corner stone for efficiency in processing food. This important topic for the future prosperity of the whole region will accompany the participants over the three event days. The opening will give a first insight of the sensitive issue «food loss». On behalf of Messe Düsseldorf and FAO-The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, XCOM Africa carried out a study on the value chain of mango in Kenya. The presentation will elaborate on the problems and benefits of the mango sector in Kenya and will show that sustainability and profitability do not exclude each other.

The second day’s conference is fully dedicated to that important subject. FAO has put a comprehensive full day-programme together and will bring top-notch speakers to present background information and forward strategies on food loss. This is a unique opportunity to all of our participants to learn from the best and to discuss ways out of that plight.

As in the past the conference programme is an excellent mixture providing a 360° view of the market with speaking slots for exhibitors presenting the latest innovations and meaningful concepts, political and economic institutions demonstrating how they can support suppliers and buyers as well as local associations and manufacturers stating the needs and expectations from the visitor side.

All of this would not be possible without the support of our international exhibitors who decided to participate in FPPE, our partner Messe Düsseldorf with their expertise of interpack, organizations such as the „save FOOD“ Initiative, FAO, VDMA and the variety of local supporters from political and commercial organizations as well as the chambers and associations of Kenya and East Africa who thankfully support FPPE. The local African supporters are so many that I abstain to introduce them one by one but refer to the partner presentation sheet in this catalogue.

I wish you all success at FPPE 2014 and enjoyable and memorable three days in Nairobi.

Sincerely yours,

Urs Albert Ingold
