Our work

The commercial assessment brings together the batch's intended use, quality requirements and conditions between origin and destination.

Purpose

Quality

Share the required grading and receiving criteria.

Delivery

Define volume, destination and timing to assess the transaction terms.

Explore the product and its applications

What the industry needs. What the offer provides.

Your operation

Bring the application and batch requirements.

State the use in feed, milling, starch, ethanol or another process. Include the required quality, volume and receiving conditions.

Organise the production information.

Provide the maize's origin, crop, grading and documentation. Volume and the availability period help qualify the discussion.

Product and application

Identity aligned with purchasing requirements.

Enquiries for GMO and non-GMO maize consider the application and required evidence. The grain's appearance does not replace documentation.

GMO or non-GMO identification depends on documentation and transaction requirements; the photograph does not distinguish these categories.

Assessment criteria

Receiving criteria guide the assessment.

Grading, moisture, damage and sanitary requirements should reflect the intended use and purchasing specification.
