Commodities tested
Testing covers moisture content, foreign matter, grain quality and grading — the physical parameters that determine whether a shipment meets its contractual specification.
Pesticide inspection enlistment
Inspectorate is enlisted for the Pre‑Shipment Inspection of Agricultural Pesticides with the Department of Plant Protection, Ministry of National Food Security & Research — extending our scope beyond food commodities into the inputs that produce them.
Our wider scope also includes general Agricultural Testing and Inspections of Pesticides as part of the same laboratory capability.
