Trade issues and aflatoxin
No country is producing an aflatoxin contaminated commodity simply for export – every commodity is produced for home consumption first
Traders etc are not selecting aflatoxin contaminated products for export – in fact they select the best quality products for export
A deficit country can only successfully ban contaminated products if their own production is aflatoxin free and they can afford to import from a aflatoxin free marketSlide6
How to prevent aflatoxin
Currently the only viable solution is inoculation
AflaSAFESlide7
What prevention of aflatoxin entails
Eastern Kenya situation
~75,600km2
If 20% land effected – the cost of treatment is more than $30 million
If 75% land effected – cost more $112 mTreatment lasts ~ 2 years
Who pays for this?What are the costs of not stopping the problem?Slide8
Current aflatoxin policy issues
Progress has been made at a policy level coordinating a position on aflatoxin contamination levels between countries
Progress has been made in many countries in putting in maximum
aflatoxin levels
Progress has been made in approving the
AflaSAFE
formula in some countries
Virtually
no progress has been made yet at addressing the problem on the groundSlide9
Cross border issues
Cross border trade for the most part is pretty informal – trucks crossing the borders individuallyNo border point (or capital) is set up to have rapid sophisticated lab testing for aflatoxin
Sampling is complex; a significant number of samples needs to be collected from all the grain – off loading the trucks to collect samples will be time consuming, expensive and probably ineffectiveSlide10Slide11
