Group Certified the Quality of 7% More Grains Compared to the Previous Period, Aligning with Projections of Increased Commodity Production for This Year

Bureau Veritas, a global leader in Testing, Inspection and Certification (TIC), certified the quality of over half of Brazil’s soybean exports. This year’s soybean harvest exceeded initial market expectations and is projected to reach 153.73 million tons by December 2023, of which 51 million tons were exported by Brazil from January to May. Bureau Veritas was responsible for certifying more than half of the exported volume, achieving a new record in the Group’s operations in the sector with an increase of 7% compared to the previous year. In addition to certifying the quality of products at major Brazilian ports, the company is responsible for classifying grains in the inland warehouses of the country.

“Brazil is one of the protagonists of the global agribusiness, and Bureau Veritas plays a fundamental role in Brazilian agribusiness. With this year’s harvest surpassing historical records of planted area and productivity, our nearly 200 years of expertise, combined with the best technologies on the market, have been essential to certify the quality of products and meet all the needs of producers and consumers,” says Guilherme Cauduro, Director of Agribusiness, Food & Commodities at Bureau Veritas.

The Group operates throughout the soybean production chain, from seed verification at origin, monitoring the crop, classifying stored grains, verifying quality at rail and waterway transshipment terminals to inspecting exported cargo. Particularly at ports, Bureau Veritas certifies the quality of grain at terminals and certifies the volume to be exported, verifying its compliance with the contractual requirements of different destination markets. In just the Port of Paranaguá, the Group inspected the cargo of 16,000 trucks in a single week, totaling approximately more than 500,000 tons of the commodity. The Group’s specialists follow strict inspection and analysis protocols, based on international standards, aiding in risk mitigation in the marketing of grain, meal, and oil.
