About 20 women from the business field had the\nopportunity to share their experiences in this training, in which they received\ninformation and advices on how to increase the impact of the organic food\nproduction they produce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the framework of this project, which is\nimplemented by the non-governmental organization ‘Center for Innovations and\nDevelopment’ and financed by the Slovak Agency for International Development\nCooperation “SlovakAid”, sustainable resources in the production of\norganic food were discussed. It was said that sustainability, in the context of\nagriculture, means balancing the needs we have today and preserving resources\nfor future generations, resources such as nutritious soil, water, and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Among other things, women were informed that\nbuilding connections and networking is of great importance for any supply\nchain, especially for women who are in more isolated areas, who find it more\ndifficult to create their networks. Therefore, it was emphasized that it is\nnecessary to use it to create business connections and access to new markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this training,\nthere was a special emphasis on the discussion of the food-oriented quality\nsafety system at the Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points (HACCP).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Women entrepreneurs learned that the\nimplementation of HACCP is necessary, because it avoids all risks to the health\nof the consumer. Further, it was emphasized that with the implementation of\nthis system, the business itself benefits from showing commitment and\nresponsibility towards food safety, creates a culture of food safety and\nreduces the economic consequences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the framework of the training, it was\nemphasized that the HACCP system has seven principles, among them the analysis\nof risks, including the identification of food risks, then the control points,\nthe establishment of critical limits at the control points, the establishment\nof the monitoring system for control of critical points and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The women present at this training, in addition\nto learning about the importance of having the HACCP certificate for their\nproducts, were informed that the implementation of the Global Gap certificate\nis also necessary to have continuous success in doing business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was emphasized there that the advantages of\nGlobal Gap certification are the increase in the value of products, as it gives\naccess to new customers and in new markets, reduces the possibility of losing\nbusiness reputation and improves the efficiency of business processes and\nothers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Regarding these issues, some of the women\npresent at the training shared information that they have certified land, on\nwhich they cultivate medicinal plants, vegetables, and other products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, some others said that they have\nstarted with the implementation of the HACCP system, but added that after\nrealizing the importance of certification with Global Gap, they will engage in\nthis direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The training cycle\nwill continue with women in the business field from all over Kosovo, where\nthere will be even more detailed information and advice on how to do business\nas well as possible. \/Z. Zeneli\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
