Central Asia experienced major socio-economic shocks during the 1990s, which has increased food insecurity, malnutrition, and poverty. In response, Central Asia has adopted food self-sufficiency policies. This paper argues that regional and international trade can improve food security if implemented properly. However, a new constraint on food trade has arisen — food safety. Using food commodity data and analysis from Trade Map, this paper analyzes Central Asia’s intra-region food security policies. Evidence shows that food safety practices will affect internal food trade in Central Asia. Finally, a framework for creating a single food market is proposed.

É real o aumento do comércio ambulante de alimentos por todo o país. O estudo foi realizado no Centro de Ciências da Saúde da UFPE durante o segundo semestre de 2016, como parte das atividades da disciplina de parasitologia para o curso de graduação em Nutrição. O perfil sócio-demográfico e percepções de riscos e práticas de higiene alimentar e os conhecimentos sobre parasitoses intestinais foram coletados por formulário estruturado da Vigilância Sanitária e Ambiental.  Foram realizadas intervenções em educação em saúde para orientar os ambulantes quanto as Boas Práticas de Segurança Alimentar (BPSA) e sobre as parasitoses veiculadas por alimentos. O comércio foi realizado em local de fluxo intenso de pessoas e veículos. Apesar da ausência de lixo, observamos cães e gatos. Os alimentos eram embalados e conservados incorretamente e o uso de toucas, luvas e avental não eram frequentes. Não houve diferença entre gênero entre os ambulantes, 55% deles tinham entre 30-40 anos de idade, 50% comercializavam alimentos a menos de seis meses e 40% diziam ter treinamento. Os ambulantes destacavam a falta de higiene como via de transmissão e o uso de luvas e álcool gel como profilaxias. A intervenção educativa foi capaz de construir o conhecimento e sensibilizar os ambulantes quanto à atenção na BPSA e sobre o risco de transmissão de parasitos veiculados por alimentos. Existiram divergências entre o que foi observado e o que foi realizado na prática do comércio frente de BPSA. Ademais, destaca-se a importância das intervenções educativas na construção do conhecimento sobre BPSA e na prevenção e controle das parasitoses veiculadas por alimentos.ABSTRACTIt's real the expansion of the street food trade throughout the country. The study was carried out at the Health Sciences Center of UFPE during 2016 second semester as part of the parasitology discipline activities from the undergraduate in nutrition course. The socio-demographic profile, perceptions of risks and food hygiene practices and knowledge about intestinal parasites were collected through a structured form of Sanitary and Environmental Surveillance. We conducted interventions in health education to guide street vendors regarding Good Food Safety Practices (GPFS) and foodborne parasitic diseases. The trade is carried out in a place of intense flow of people and vehicles. Despite the absence of garbage, we observed dogs and cats. Foods are packaged and stored improperly and bonnet, gloves and apron is not frequently used. There were no gender differences among street vendors, 55% of them are between 30-40 years old, 50% sell foods for less than 6 months and 40% say they have training. The street vendors highlight the lack of hygiene as a transmission path and the use of gloves and alcohol gel as prophylaxis. The educational intervention was able to build the knowledge and sensitize the vendors regarding the attention in the GPFS and the risks of transmission of foodborne parasites. There were differences between what we observed and what is really conducted in the practice of trade versus GPFS. In addition, we emphasized the importance of educational interventions in the construction of knowledge about GPFS and in the prevention and control of foodborne parasites.

AbstractThis chapter examines the role of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) in Russia’s agricultural food trade. The discussion focuses on four of the most important areas affecting agri-food trade, namely the food safety regime, the effects of Russia’s food import ban, the agenda for agricultural cooperation, and the external free trade agreements of the bloc. The analysis identifies the critical role of structural factors in the build-up of obstacles to trade, including the weak common regime and its inability to constrain unilateral actions at the cost of integration. The chapter concludes that despite some recognition of the issues, fundamental changes are unlikely.
