Intertek Sponsors Cereals North America Conference in Winnipeg

27 Oct 2014

Intertek, a leading quality solutions provider to industries worldwide, is pleased to be the Gold sponsor for Cereals North America 2014 - the first truly international conference and exhibition for stakeholders to meet and do business in grain and oilseeds. Intertek’s agricultural testing and inspection services group provides an extensive array of services designed to reduce the risks associated with commodity trading, by monitoring the quality and quantity of cargo from source to destination.

Norm Woodbeck, Operations Manager for Agricultural Services in Canada stated: “Given the major changes driven by deregulation, we have grown rapidly in Canada and are committed to offering our independent, third-party technical expertise across the country and beyond. With the support of our global network that includes testing & inspection services for the biofuel and transportation industries, Intertek’s sponsorship of the Cereals North America conference demonstrates our commitment to the market.”

Cereals North America, being held at the Fairmont Winnipeg Hotel from October 28-30, 2014, will showcase global energy markets and their new relationship with agriculture as biofuel industries mature. The coming technology advances promised in seed and agronomy will be discussed, together with the rise of South American agricultural production and its implications for world trade. There will also be a dialogue with the North American transportation industry on how they can better serve the needs of farmers. Featuring guest speakers from all over the globe, “Cereals” Conferences are a “must attend” event for producers, traders, merchandisers and importers who want to network and obtain feedback from some of the world’s brightest analysts in grain, oilseeds, transportation and farming.
