SSC India

The Strategic sector cooperation (SSC) entails government to government cooperation, in which the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration functions as the Danish partner authority in different SSC projects in Latin America, Africa and Asia.

The current cooperation between the Indian authorities and the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration is anchored in the Green Strategic Partnership between the Danish and Indian governments, and it is supported by two cooperation agreements signed in April 2018.

  1. The one cooperation agreement or MoU has been signed between the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration and the Food Safety and Standard Authority of India (FSSAI) and it focuses on:
    food safety and processing. 
  2. The second cooperation agreement or MoU has been signed with the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare (MoA) and focuses on:
    livestock and milk production.

The establishment of the SSC project in India includes a one-year initial phase which, if successful, will be followed by a three-year first phase of the project.
