Agri Value Chain Management10 questions

Five practice questions, worked

Original questions written to this exam's published syllabus and pattern. Not past papers.

1. Under the WTO SPS Agreement, which body is the reference standard-setter for food safety?

  1. The World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH)
  2. The International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC)
  3. The Codex Alimentarius Commission
  4. The International Organization for Standardization
Answer and working

C. The Codex Alimentarius Commission

The SPS Agreement recognises three sisters: Codex for food safety, WOAH for animal health and zoonoses, and IPPC for plant health. ISO standards are voluntary and relevant to the TBT Agreement and management systems, not the SPS reference role.

2. A certified coffee farm produces 800 kg per ha, of which only 60 percent finds certified buyers. Certification and compliance cost 180 CU per ha a year, and yields are unchanged. What is the minimum farm-gate premium per kg of certified sales at which certification breaks even?

  1. 0.225 CU per kg
  2. 0.562 CU per kg
  3. 0.375 CU per kg
  4. 0.135 CU per kg
Answer and working

C. 0.375 CU per kg

Break-even premium = cost ÷ certified volume = 180/(800 × 0.6) = 180/480 = 0.375 CU/kg. Dividing by all output (0.225) assumes every kilo earns the premium; 0.562 divides by the uncertified volume; 0.135 scales cost by the share instead of dividing.
