This interim report provides an overview of hygiene and quality management issues for animal source foods in Afghanistan. It discusses how the agricultural sector was impacted by decades of war and how demand for meat and dairy is now increasing. However, local animal products have worse hygiene and safety conditions compared to imported alternatives. Key current problems include a lack of knowledge about hygiene among producers, cross-contamination in retail, no processing facilities, high zoonotic disease risks, and a lack of production and market policies regarding hygiene and quality management. The applicant's interests related to this training program include food safety, quality assurance, hygiene of animal products, and food analysis.
