Growing together: Integrating farmers into value chains with sustainable finance

10 employees of Alaiku Organics LLC participated in a training on Food Safety Management System ISO 22000:2018 on April 10-11, 2025. This training was organized with the support of the Value Chain Agro Finance project and aimed at increasing employees’ knowledge of food safety and quality requirements.

The main goal of the training was to raise awareness among employees about the requirements of the ISO 22000:2018 standard and the importance of implementing these requirements in the company’s processes. It also focused on ensuring full employee involvement in the implementation of the standard’s requirements.

During the training, participants were introduced to the key principles and requirements of the ISO 22000:2018 standard and its practical applications. Additionally, the ISO/TS 22002-1:2009 technical specifications were covered, and detailed explanations were provided regarding the system’s various aspects.

The training used interactive and theoretical-practical methods. Employees had the opportunity to apply theoretical knowledge through practical activities and share their insights on how to implement the ISO 22000:2018 standard in the company.

The training was made possible with the support of the Value Chain Agro Finance project. This project aims to support agro-businesses in implementing standards and improving the quality of their operations.

Alaiku Organics LLC plans to continue its efforts towards certification in line with ISO 22000:2018 and to fully implement the standard in order to ensure the quality and safety of its products.
