The Canadian Grain Commission (CGC) has been tapped to take over the delivery of a national food-grade soybean testing and analysis program.
Previously the responsibility of Agriculture and Agri-food Canada’s Harrow Research and Development Centre, the Canadian Soy Quality Program provides independent, third-party data on the quality of Canadian food-grade soybeans.
“We’re confident the Canadian Grain Commission will continue the proud Canadian tradition of measuring soy quality, with its strong reputation for grain quality research,” said Brian Innes, executive director of Soy Canada, the organization that coordinates the soy quality program.
The program is further supported by Producteurs de Grains du Quebec, Grain Farmers of Ontario and the Manitoba Pulse and Soybean Growers.
