Abstract

AbstractThe chapter discusses the food quality and safety control system in the Kyrgyz Republic. Specifically, the chapter introduces current socio-economic situation, characterization of the domestic food market, and elements of the national food control system upon adopting a series of new regulations since 2004. The new food safety system is progressively setting up, but there are a number of problems that holds back the implementation of new approaches to the assurance of food safety. These problems are mainly related to the underdeveloped national economy and poor socio-economic status of the population. As a result, a number of urgent measures are proposed concerning strengthening the discipline and responsibility in controlling food supply chain, implementation of widely practiced food quality and specific food safety management and control systems, enhancing analytical capabilities and capacities, wider involvement of the society into food safety control, and increasing skills and competence.KeywordsFood safetyFood qualityFood supply chainKyrgyz Republic
