Abstract

The FDA's data indicate that some Indonesian food export to the U.S. have been subjected to automatic de- tention and no sign of declining within the last 13 months (April 1997 – April 1998). This status was based on past hystory of the Indonesia commodity which failed to meet the existing requirements. Cocoa beans exporters were among the most frequent violators, followed by the tuna and shrimp manufacturers or exporters. The new HACCP -based requirement especially for imported fish which became effective since December 18, 1997 would certainly pose significant problem which could under- mine the nation ability to overcome the current economic crises. Systematic programs have to be developed and correctly deployed to meet the strict requirements demanded by the importing country. The objective of the proposedPartnership in Food Safety Assurance program is to assure that all processed foods including fish and fishery product and the condition under which these foods are manufactured will result in safe food. The primary intention of the proposed program is to focus on the food manufacturing facilites and their links to incoming raw materials and shipment of finished products.

Abstract

Agricultural products are expected to survive as export commodities under severe economic crises. Such an expectation could not be fully achieved due to the fact that some Indonesian food commodities exported to USA were held under detention by FDA. The detained food products were mostly cocoa bean, canned tuna, frozen shrimp and fish. Cocoa bean detention was due to the presence of filth and foreign objects, while for frozen shrimp and fish were due to the presence of filth, inadequate sanitary handling, and Salmonella contamination. Detention of canned tuna shipments were due to the presence of filth, decomposition, no accompanying canning schedule process document, or no compliance with the labeling requirements. Especially for cocoa bean export to USA up to present Indonesia has been subjected to automatic detention. Quality management and food safety, against the potential Indonesian export commodities should he improved to he able to compete in global market.
