What sort of work does FIA do on behalf of members?
The role of FIA is to represent the views and positions of industry across issues ranging from sustainability, resilient supply chains, nutrition, regulations and trade, and food safety. We advise governments on the critical policy issues and how to work with industry, as well as collaborate with regulators on building appropriate regulatory frameworks for existing and new or novel foods. We even implement capacity building programmes to improve food safety standards in developing markets.
Does FIA have the expertise to carry out the work?
FIA has a team of experts who have experience in public affairs, regulatory affairs, food safety, nutrition, sustainability and communications. Unlike other associations, FIA seeks strategic input from members and guidance on implementing projects to ensure members have a voice. However, we have the skills and experience to carry out work on behalf of industry and implement projects. We also provide regular updates and analysis on regulatory and policy developments across Asia Pacific.
