Sustainable Water Resource Strategy for 7 Fishery Operators in the Indian Ocean (2011)

To meet consumer’s increasing demand for sustainable fish products, we assessed the water usage performance of 7 major operators.
Current performances of water usage were benchmarked against international best practices.

The "3R methodology" - reduction, reuse and recycling - has allowed to build a portfolio of initiatives and investments integrated in a sustainability roadmap.

Sub-Saharian Industrial Water Treatment System Upgrades (2010)

To support fishery export to the EU, water treatment assistance was provided to ice plants and fishery businesses in two emerging markets. Water qualities were assessed in a dozen fish converting, ice plants, and their collection zones. Gap analysis against EU/WHO potability requirements helped identify the system upgrades.

Local operators received recommended costs and installation timetables. Partnerships were established between Food Safety and Health Ministries, equipment suppliers and local-European laboratories.

Equipment Export Incentive (2010)

For a government owned company located in the Middle East, we were asked to identify market opportunities and translate them into agro-food equipment needs.

This matchmaking process allowed to strengthen the commercial relations between two countries and stimulate exports in the field of beverage production equipment.

SouthEast Asia EU Packaging Standards Training and Workshops(2008)

We provided training on EU packaging and waste Directives and ISO standards for a packaging research and development center in SouthEast Asia.
The training also included EU waste collection schemes and their necessary packaging marking and labeling requirements.

In an export perspective, this know-how transfer raised awareness of legal and regulatory pre-requisites in order to comply with EU requirements.

Middle East Export Strategy for a Clustoer of Packaging Companies(2007)

This strategy was designed for a cluster of 72 packaging companies in the Middle East. The project was intended to help local companies export to Europe and was sequenced in different phases : individual positioning, targeted market studies, trade show support and meet-the-buyers meetings.

Best practices and key learnings were collected in export-to-EU guidelines. This project was conducted for the Lebanese Ministry of Industry and financed by the Europaid program.

Supply Chain Assessment (2006)

For a beverage company with a severe production and distribution capacity constraint, we built a business plan and identified the necessary capital equipment invesments.

Required by an International Financing Institution, these assessments were needed to guarantee an important bank loan. The project took place in North Africa for the European Union Meda program.
