Market entry and trainingBuyer meetingsRules and certification
By ASI Food Safety (FSPCA course)
The FSPCA Preventive Controls Qualified Individual course (version 2.0) taught live over five half-days. US importers checking foreign suppliers under FSVP expect a PCQI-built food safety plan, so this is the credential Sri Lankan spice, tea and coconut processors selling to the US are asked for.

By AGRINFO (COLEAD, EU-funded) with European Commission DG Agriculture
Same ELAN briefing as the 20 October session, run at a time that falls in the Colombo afternoon (13:30 to 15:00). ELAN is mostly for competent authorities and quota or basmati documents for now, so it is background knowledge rather than an urgent compliance step for most Sri Lankan exporters.
Who can join: Not restricted on the page; aimed at exporting-country competent authorities and agri-food operators supplying the EU. English and French with interpretation.
By Safe Quality Food Institute (SQFI), SQF365 digital seminar

The US organic standards board meets in public to vote on which substances stay allowed in USDA organic production and handling. Anyone selling organic spices, tea or coconut products to the US can watch the rules being set. Runs 12:00 to 5:00 pm Eastern on each of the three days.
