SGS Agriculture and Food

SGS Agricultural Services deliver to a large variety of clients including traders, buyers, food manufacturers and local producers of agricultural products. Service to the Trade: SGS traces its origins to 1878 when its founders understood the implicit need for traders to be represented at loading and discharge of vessels. Thus SGS set up a unique network of specialists and laboratories in major ports to ensure contractual terms were complied with. In time, SGS Certificates reflecting weight, number of bags and quality of the goods served as essential documents to trigger payment for the Buyer.��With its extensive experience in port handling operations, SGS can offer services to mitigate the risks traders face. With its Guarantee Business Solution, SGS covers discrepancies in weight or quality between loading and discharge.GBS can be extended to cover marine insurance, rejection of goods at reception or re-infestation of the goods by insects.
