Grading Regulations

The grading system ensures that the quality of any product from any producer is assessed in the same manner. In addition, it is focused on the customer's end-use requirements for grain and is based on scientific support. The set of standards applied to grain to ensure that it meets a specific grade is based on the requirements for the final product. This means that the grading factors for grain will always be relevant to customers' needs. The grade requirements of grain and the corresponding maximum permissible levels were developed with the aim of making a positive impact on the end-use functionality. When customers buy grain according to the official grades, it is not necessary for them to rely on additional contract specifications. They can be assured of satisfactory performance of such grain.

All deliveries and shipments are accompanied by a document that assurance of grain quality to the producer or buyer. If there is a dispute regarding any aspect of the grain's grade or performance, the matter will be investigated immediately.

All grain accepted at an Agbiz Grain silo must comply with the highest quality. Aspects to be considered are insect infestation, fungal contamination, other grains or foreign matter such as straw, weeds or other potentially undesirable material. This continuity contributes significantly to the maintenance of uniformity and quality. Strict grading standards and cleaning procedures at silos ensure that buyers get the quality they pay for. This is a benefit for millers as excessive cleaning of grain can increase their costs of operation and maintenance of cleaning equipment. Cleaner grain will also lead to higher returns when processing.
