1 Aflatoxin Outlook in Mozambique Prepared for COMESA aflatoxin workshop in Malawi Joao Augusto, Ranajit Bandyopadhyay, Juliet Akello, Joseph Atehnkeng March 11, Lilongwe, Malawi
2 Outline Background information about aflatoxins in Mozambique Aflatoxin regulations and monitoring in Mozambique Ongoing research and technology options Gaps to be addressed
3 Background Information about aflatoxins in Mozambique Late 1970 s Intake of aflatoxin contaminated food, especially from groundnut, linked to high prevalence of liver cancer in Southern Mozambique Late 1990 s to date Rejection of groundnut and groundnut products by the EU for exceeding aflatoxin legal limits
4 Background Information about aflatoxins in Mozambique Notifications of Mozambican groundnut products by EU market: Date Product type Notification type Subject 5/2/2007 food alert aflatoxins (B1 = 12; Tot. = 14.2 µg/kg ppb) in peanut kernels from Mozambique 3/19/2007 food information aflatoxins (B1 = 44.6; Tot. = 57.0 µg/kg ppb) in groundnuts from Mozambique 6/11/2007 food information aflatoxins (B1 = 4.8; Tot. = 7.5 µg/kg ppb) in groundnut kernels from Mozambique via the United Kingdom and via the Netherlands 4/7/2009 food border rejection aflatoxins (B1 = 34.5; Tot. = 52.2 / B1 = 3.1; Tot. = 3.6 µg/kg ppb) in peanuts from Mozambique 4/7/2009 food border rejection aflatoxins (B1 = 6.7; Tot. = 18.9 / B1 = 0.9; Tot. = 4.6 / B1 = 1.9; Tot. = 4.4 µg/kg ppb) in peanuts from Mozambique 12/30/2009 feed information aflatoxins (B1 = 120 mg/kg ppm) in groundnuts for birdseed from Mozambique Source: RASFF portal, 2011
5 Background Information about aflatoxins in Mozambique Late 1970 s Intake of aflatoxin contaminated food, especially from groundnut, linked to high prevalence of liver cancer in Southern Mozambique Late 1990 s to date Rejection of groundnut and groundnut products by the EU for exceeding aflatoxin legal limits Survey in 2013 identification of aflatoxin hot spot areas for maize and groundnut in central and northern Mozambique (USAID Moz grant)
6 Outline Background information about aflatoxins in Mozambique Aflatoxin regulations and monitoring in Mozambique Ongoing research and technology options Gaps to be addressed
7 Aflatoxin regulations and monitoring in Mozambique According to FAO (1994) There are aflatoxin regulations in Mozambique (but not enforced) Universidade Lurio (UniLurio) in northern Mozambique Aflatoxin testing and monitoring for different crops (but the lab is not accredited) Madal Ltd in central Mozambique private company working with some 3,000 groundnut farmers (sorting and aflatoxin testing for the farmers)
8 Outline Background information about aflatoxins in Mozambique Aflatoxin regulations and monitoring in Mozambique Ongoing research and technology options Gaps to be addressed
9 Aflatoxin surveillance in Mozambique Conducted at harvest, May June, 2013 In Northern and Central regions, but with emphasis to Nacala Corridor Selection criteria for the locations: (a) maize and groundnut in the same area (but sampling will be as far as possible from each sampling point); (b) number of districts in each province; (c) distribution in altitude; (d) cropping systems; and (e) accessibility Materials: Sampling procedures for survey, Sampling questionnaires for each survey group, colored printed and laminated mycotoxin factsheets in Portuguese, GPS handsets, etc
