The first stop in the GFSI Web Series takes viewers to Myanmar. The country's first fisherwoman has leveraged GFSI's Global Markets Programme, through a collaboration with the United Nations Industrial Organization (UNIDO) to build food safety capacity in her fish processing plant, train her teams and gain the confidence of new customers. These achievements are opening doors for her as she grows her exports and accesses new markets.

Next, the GFSI Web Series goes to Germany, where viewers meet Nikos. He manages quality control for the supply chains of a retailer which operates in 25 different countries. He reveals how he leverages GFSI's "food safety passport" and capacity building tools. He sees these benefits across global supply chains, he says, calling on Sagar, a colleague in Pakistan, to illustrate.

Then, the Web Series meets Walter, who started a primary production company with his family, mining and purifying salt in his home country of Chile. When Walmart told Walter about GFSI, he embarked upon GFSI's capability building programme, progressed through the different levels and ultimately achieved certification to a GFSI-recognised scheme. Walter has grown the business in the face of strong local competition, gaining the trust of many new clients and today, he exports to five different continents.

Watch the first episode here and stay tuned to the GFSI web series for new episodes released on GFSI YouTube, on www.myGFSI.com and at the Global Food Safety Conference.
