Focus On Rice 2025

We’re proud to present our 2025 Focus on Rice brochure. 

As one of the most traded food commodities, rice is crucial to global food security, and we’re committed to ensuring its quality and safety through trusted solutions.  

As the third most produced cereal crop worldwide, rice provides essential fiber, vitamins, and minerals to billions of people. However, before it is exported globally, rice undergoes rigorous milling and quality control processes to ensure it meets the highest standards. How do we ensure that the rice traded internationally is safe and of the highest quality? 

That’s where SGS come in. 

As Grain and Feed Association (Gafta) approved Superintendent, Analysts and Fumigators, we provide vital inspection and testing services that ensure the rice industry operates with the highest standards. Our expertise supports rice producers, importers, and exporters, ensuring compliance with global food safety regulations and export requirements.
