INTRODUCTION
The birdnest industry is worth multi million dollars in Asia. Malaysia alone exports about ten tonnes of what is considered the finest bird nests in the market, in comparisons to rival exporters from Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, Singapore, Cambodia and the Philippines. However, with the tighter control imposed by exporting countries, China in particular, the Malaysian edible-birdnest industry must be fully equipped with the vital knowledge that could assist them in overcoming the resulting barriers that could arise during exports.

Realising the economic importance of Edible-Birdnest, Department of Standards Malaysia (STANDARDS MALAYSIA) had published a number of Malaysian Standards (MS) for Edible-Birdnest industry.

The Technical Committee on Edible-Birdnest (EBN) Swiftlet Ranching which developed the Malaysian Standards referred to in this seminar was established within the National Standards Development Systems under the purview of STANDARDS MALAYSIA, a government agency under the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI).

OBJECTIVES
To get an update on the latest development for edible-birdnest and swiftlet ranching;
To gain knowledge on Malaysian standards and their applications in swiftlet ranching and EBN processing;
To know the minimum requirements for EBN industry;
To know the export and import requirements for EBN;
To increase awareness on the importance of GAHP in swiftlet ranching & GMP in processing EBN and the benefits of such practices; and
To share experience and promote better understanding of the respective requirements and establish networking for EBN industry in Malaysia.
