SGS Gains Approval for Seed Quarantine Facility in Brazil
22 January 2016 Brazil’s Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Food Supply has approved a new seed quarantine facility for SGS, an inspection, verification, testing and certification company located in Piracicaba, Sao Paulo. The new facility will focus on both imported seeds for breeding and R&D trials for all major crops in Brazil.
SGS’s new quarantine facility allows the company to offer independent and accurate phytosanitary analysis of seeds imported for research and development programs into Brazil.
“The accreditation of our seed quarantine facility is a landmark for agriculture in Brazil. It is also a credit to the hard work and determination of all those involved in making this project a success,” said Olivier Coppey, Executive Vice President of Agriculture, Food and Life, SGS. “This new facility will enable seed companies to import seeds safely, comply with Brazilian phytosanitary regulations, and contribute to the continuous development of Brazil’s Agriculture industry.”
