SGS agricultural specialists to share about company's services at Cereals 2015

SGS United Kingdom Ltd. announced today that its agricultural specialists will be providing information about the company’s seed testing and development services, seed and grain analysis and sustainability practices at Cereals 2015.

Cereals 2015, which is the arable industry’s premier technical event, will be held in North Lincolnshire, U.K., from June 10 to 11.

SGS said the company can meet consumer demands for safety and quality at every stage of the growing process through cost-effective services that reduce risk, add value and improve productivity.

SGS U.K. Business & International Seed & Crop Services Project Manager Marc Willis said that in addition to being one of the big players for seed and crop services, SGS provides extensive expertise in sustainability practices, covering the inspection, sampling and testing of biofuels, audits and certification.

“Crops and crop residue, as well as agricultural waste, are increasingly being used to create biofuels and other sources of renewable energy, and it's important to be able to verify the quality and quantity for farmers,” Willis said. “Furthermore, sustainability must be addressed and demonstrated to ensure compliance to the relevant EU/national standards and certification schemes, allowing claims to be passed along the supply chain. At SGS we can help with this through our audit, training and certification services."
