NFSA Head meets exporters at Anuga, discuss market access, expansion

Dr. Tarek El Houby, Chairman of Egypt's National Food Safety Authority (NFSA), held an extensive meeting with representatives of Egyptian companies participating in the Anuga International Food Fair in Cologne, Germany, which runs from October 4-8.

During the meeting, El Houby listened to the companies’ feedback and needs regarding registration and accreditation procedures and their plans for expanding into foreign markets.

El Houby affirmed that the NFSA is currently studying the expansion of its offices across different governorates. This measure is intended to facilitate and expedite registration procedures for companies and factories, thereby supporting their ability to access international markets more efficiently and boosting the competitiveness of Egyptian exports.

The discussion covered the companies' future export plans, highlighted the main challenges they might face in foreign markets, and explored ways to cooperate with the NFSA to overcome these obstacles.

They also addressed the mechanisms for registering on the "White List" of NFSA-certified factories, which serves as a crucial tool for simplifying export procedures and ensuring compliance with global market standards.

The meeting underscores the NFSA's commitment to supporting Egyptian manufacturers and exporters and enhancing the food safety system to meet the requirements of European and international markets.
