La Asociación de Comerciantes y Distribuidores de Víveres y Similares de Panamá (ACOVIPA), gremio que agrupa a los importadores de productos alimenticios terminados y materia prima, le solicitó su apoyo a la Ministra de Comercio e Industrias, Gisela Vergara, en su calidad de miembro de la Junta Directiva de la Autoridad Panameña de Seguridad Alimentaria (AUPSA), al proyecto de “Habilitación de Laboratorio de Análisis para Alimentos Importados, y Centro de Información y Seguridad de Alimentos” que lleva a cabo la AUPSA.
Currently testing for imported foods are held at the National Institute for the Analysis of the University of Panama and the Gorgas Memorial Laboratory, among others, making it very late, complex and expensive process. Having AUPSA own laboratory would achieve a significant savings of time and proper coordination and modernization that is what primarily demand the international trade in goods.
ACOVIPA According to this project is in line with the actions that the Government is implementing to alleviate the problem of rising prices of foodstuffs through comprehensive policies in conjunction with all components of the marketing chain.
