Quality testing on grain and oilseeds: a vital link in the value chain
There is a vital link in the value chain with regards to quality testing on grain and oilseeds. The cost of measurements constitutes a significant part of the grain and oilseed industry’s budgets. However, these costs are offset by the economic impact of crucial decisions made based on measurement results.

Crop Quality Results Are In
The first and very crucial step in any crop survey is obtaining the samples that will provide information about the quality of the crop. Without the cooperation of the commercial grain silo owners, members of Agbiz Grain, who supply these samples to the Southern African Grain Laboratory (SAGL) without any cost, these surveys would not be possible.

Sunflower Crop Quality – a Look at the 2017/2018 Season’s Results
In the sixth annual sunflower crop quality survey that was performed by the Southern African Grain Laboratory (SAGL), 176 crop samples representing the various production regions were tested. Samples, provided by members of Agbiz Grain, were forwarded to SAGL by commercial grain silo owners and received from July to November 2018.

Soybean Crop Quality Overview of the 2015/2016 Season
The extreme drought conditions experienced during the 2015/2016 season, led to an almost 27% (184 500 ha) decline in soybean production area. Yield was also negatively impacted, with the average national yield decreasing from 1,56 t/ha in 2014/2015 to 1,47 t/ha.
