Export of skipjack tuna to the European Union and the United States faces problem due to food safety issus, such as high level of histamine. The high level of histamine indicates a poor cold chain rystero on fish handling during oi board, fish landing, suppliers and distributors. The purpose of this rtuOv *, io evaluate the risk of histamine at the supply chain, ussisr Good Handling Fractices (GIp), and propose alternative improvement for risk control of the skipjack tuna at supply chain. The research showed tlrat histamine level of skipjacf. t*u found during landing in suppliers and distributors was around I,5S mg/kg 2.00 mg/kg and 2.46 mdkg respectively.R isk characterzi ation showed tttat-.ist ranf of histamine hazard for Indonesian population was 52 (high), United States was 4g (moderate)a nd EuropeanU nion was 52 (high) The assessmenotf Good Handling Practices indicated that fishing vessel fulfill 38,24yo of requirements and unloading fulfill 42,85 - 48,57 Vo of requirements.T he assessmentos f fish handling in suppliersf ulfill 36 o/oo f requirbmentsa nd fishermenh ave not fullv implementt he requirementso f good handlingp ractices.
