Local food systems for better economy tokelau economic summitNaim Khalid
The first national economic summit for Tokelau was officially opened on 12 April 2018 in Atafu, Tokelau. The whole focus of the summit was to identify 5 strategic areas that will help the country to improve its economy. In this presentation, I presented information regarding FAO’s current work in Tokelau and few ideas how they can generate more money (grow economy) from producing food locally. The country imports most of its food items from overseas. This country has unique challenges from lack of water, lack of soil, lack of diversity in plants and extinction of sea food due to over exploitation and environmental impacts. Few of these challenges can be solved through working on local and home grown solutions.

ECONOMIC GROWTH DRIVER IN THE
QUEBEC CITY REGION. THANKS TO
THE INGENUITY OF ITS ENTREPRENEURS,
THE STATE-OF-THE-ART SECTOR HAS
CARVED OUT AN ENVIABLE POSITION
IN THE QUEBEC, NORTH AMERICAN
AND EUROPEAN MARKETS.
Home to a large number of research centres
and educational institutions, the Quebec City
region is a hotbed for food and nutrition innovation.
This stimulates the growth of companies that
go on to become leaders in the functional foods
or health food sector.
In 2009, the Canadian health food market was
valued at CAD $2 billion, with the province of
Quebec accounting for nearly 20%. In the US,
this market is valued at over US $30 billion.

cranberries, blueberries and currants into top-of-the line, 100%-natural
products without additives or artificial colours. Renowned for the quality of its
products, the company exports 95% of its annual production to countries
around the world.
BISCUITS LECLERC

Founded as a family business in Quebec City in 1905, Biscuits Leclerc now
operates five ultra-modern production facilities. The company’s annual
output is impressive: 800 million cookies, 600 million snack bars and
5 million kilos of cereals distributed to four continents!
Most Biscuits Leclerc products contain no trans or saturated fats.
Recently, the R&D team took full advantage of the recognized properties
of ingredients such as green tea extract, cranberries and prebiotic food
fibre to develop the Praeventia line of food products.
FOODS OF TOMORROW
The Nutraceutical and Functional Food Institute (INAF)
advances knowledge of human dietary requirements and
their health repercussions. The INAF’s biochemists, food
engineers, nutritionists, doctors and pharmacologists support
the development of effective and safe food products with
a view to improving health and preventing chronic diseases.
The INAF is the leading research group in Canada dedicated
exclusively to studying interactions between foods, their
components, nutrition and health. www.inaf.ulaval.ca
MAJOR PLAYERS
Dr. Jean-Pierre Després maintains that bad dietary habits
are one of the main causes of Type 2 diabetes, a disease
that is currently ravaging the population. As director of
cardiology research at the Research Centre of the Quebec
City University Institute of Cardiology and Pneumology,
Dr. Després has been leading a valiant fight against obesity
for several years. www.criucpq.ulaval.ca
The TransBIOtech biotechnology technology transfer
centre supports business innovation by providing access
to leading expertise in the functional food, nutraceutical
and natural health product sectors. www.tbt.qc.ca

WINNING ON WORLD MARKETS
Two Quebec City brands have carved out an enviable position in markets
otherwise dominated by major US firms. Krispy Kernels holds 80% of
the nuts and dried fruit market in Eastern Canada and exports its
products as far away as South Korea. With a 3% share of a market
dominated by US giants, Yum Yum is equally impressive. The success of
Krispy Kernels and Yum Yum also reflects their innovativeness. For
example, in 2004, Yum Yum became the first Canadian producer of potato
chips made entirely from natural ingredients when it launched its new
line Viva.
FROM LAB TO PLATE!
Founded in 1989 in Portneuf, Serres du Saint-Laurent Inc. has 350
employees and produces more than 220 tons of tomatoes every week!
All year round, their tomatoes (marketed under the Savoura brand) are
cultivated in seven production centres, including one in Mexico serving
the southeast US. The environmentally proactive company has built a
biogas-heated plant and uses a photosynthetic lighting technique
developed at Laval University. This innovative technique has also been
adopted in Scandinavia, the US, France and Belgium.
TRAINING AND LABOUR
The Quebec City region’s food processing industry has
access to a pool of 3,200 post-secondary graduates. Some
46% of its workers graduated from Laval University’s Faculty
of Agricultural and Food Sciences, which offers 36 programs
at the bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral levels, including a
specialized food science and technology program that is
available only in Quebec. The Faculty is also home to the
Agrifood Economy Research Centre, in addition to the
Economic Intelligence Cell, which is a prime source of
information on the legal and economic environment of the
Quebec food processing sector’s partner countries.
