Why Food Guard Summit?

Food loss in our region is not merely a consumption issue, but a challenge closely linked to production and supply chains.

Loss rates are affected by several factors, including:

  • Weak food safety systems
  • Limited manufacturing and processing technologies
  • Storage and cold chain challenges
  • Lack of appropriate packaging solutions
  • Transportation and logistics gaps
  • Regulatory misalignment

The Global Food Guard Summit has been designed as a platform that brings together government entities and industry stakeholders to develop practical and scalable solutions.
