Sindh, Balochistan food authorities far from fully operational - Newspaper

ISLAMABAD: The food authorities established in Sindh and Balochistan over the past few years are still facing teething problems and have not yet become fully operational, an institutional capacity assessment of the two authorities shows.
The Growth for Rural Advancement and Sustainable Progress (Grasp) project funded by the European Union conducted the capacity assessment of the two food authorities at a stakeholders’ workshop in Islamabad in order to identify areas and activities for technical assistance and to develop a plan for strengthening them as per best international practices.
The assessment report outlined the need for standard operating procedures (SOPs) for determining the standards of various edible commodities, harmonisation of food regulations, field visits, and storage and display of foods.
