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.
