Focus on Fumigation

Nov 11, 2024

At SGS, we specialize in all-encompassing fumigation and pest management solutions for global supply chains.

Grain and feed products are necessary for healthy human and animal diets. Whole grain foods, in particular, are especially recommended due to their high levels of fiber, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients, all of which can help control cholesterol levels and blood pressure.

In recent years, consumers around the world have become increasingly aware of the health benefits of grain and feed products, and they are now more health conscious when shopping. However, global supply chains are facing unprecedented disruptions, leading to the need to store and protect food for longer periods to ensure consistent supplies remained available.

Unfortunately, during the storage and transportation of agricultural commodities, there is the risk of damage from contaminations and pest infestations. It has become necessary to be proactive as well as reactive in order to retain the quality of these commodities, reduce potential losses, and fulfill regulatory standards and contractual regulations. This has led to a heightened demand for fumigation and pest management measures.
