Résumé : Over the past decade, trade liberalization and accession to the World Trade Organization have subjected the Colombian agri-food industry to increased competition with imported foodstuffs on domestic markets. Price and quality, including food safety, are part of the competitive challenge. Following the introduction of a new food safety regulation in 1997, which makes the introduction of Good Manufacturing Practices obligatory and which aims to align domestic standards with international ones, the Colombian poultry producers association (FENAVI) launched an industry-wide pilot program to introduce quality assurance in poultry slaughterhouses. Technical support for this voluntary initiative was provided by non-governmental service organizations, the International Colombian Corporation (CCI) and its quality assurance group, ASECALIDAD. The program, which received some initial government support, introduced GMP and HACCP plans in 20 firms. Industry managers and FENAVI have been very pleased with the program's results, and are extending it to a second phase to include other firms. This case provides a model of how a producers' association can take a positive, pro-active approach to meeting international competition for quality, by sponsoring a collective action which it would be difficult for individual producers to undertake on their own.
