This video explains how crops from overseas are verified as meeting the same legal food and feed safety standards as UK-grown crops through equivalent assurance schemes and rigorous testing.
This animation explains what AIC is and the work of Combinable Crops sector Members, from monitoring the production and distribution of grain and oilseeds for global food and fuel markets, to quality assurance throughout the supply chain.
These sampling guidelines are intended to provide guidance when taking samples to test for both grain quality and mycotoxins as well as ensuring procedures are undertaken as safely as possible.
This document is intended to outline the checks and controls in place to ensure grain and feedstuffs in the UK are safe and legal whether it arrives from an already assured supply chain or production or is from outside of an assured chain.
In order to provide assistance with understanding of certain Contract clauses, the AIC Contracts Committee has recently reviewed and updated its guidance document for users of the No.1 & No.2 Grain Contracts. Users of these AIC Contracts may find it useful to use this document as part of their in-house contracts training to improve awareness.
Plant breeding has occurred for millennia, with significant developments along the way. This varies from the creation of entire crops that we are familiar with today (such as maize, and rye) to varietal advancements, such as improving resistance to diseases in wheat.
There are various stickers which are to be found on the top right hand corner of the “Post – harvest treatment declaration” or “combinable crops passport”. Some schemes have stickers and others have passports with preprinted stickers already on.
The Combinable Crops Passport is designed to improve the traceability and assurance status of combinable crops. It is important to note that incomplete or incorrectly completed passports may lead to rejections and delays at delivery destinations.
