(Bilbao, Spain) Intertek, a leading quality solutions provider to industries worldwide, proudly sponsors the AgriFood International Congress, taking place on 14th and 15th of April, organised by the Port of Tarragona. As one of the most important forums in Europe, AgriFood International dedicates to the analysis of the emerging challenges faced by the agricultural sector, addressing issues from the impact of logistics on raw materials and production, through to wider concerns of the supply chain.

With regulatory requirements for the worldwide agricultural market constantly changing and evolving, companies need to manage risk and be aware of additional factors, including new health warnings and supply chain constraints. Intertek, as a leading quality assurance, testing, inspection and certification (ATIC) provider to companies operating within the agricultural and food sectors, supports clients to ensure that the regulatory requirements are met in every stage of the supply chain. Intertek’s inspection services are designed to reduce the risks associated with commodity trading by monitoring the quality and quantity of cargo from source to destination.

Intertek experts will be present in the AgriFood Congress to showcase stakeholders tailored traceability solutions throughout the entire supply chain including key aspects to consider such as raw material and feed production quality control, agricultural commodities surveillance and inspection for quantity and quality verification, support on the logistical international chain, loading and unloading inspections, weighing and others.

The event brings together professionals from the agriculture and food industries, allowing them to share ideas and find answers to questions that are critical in the further development of food and agriculture markets. The AgriFood International Congress will also address key issues concerning EU food and agriculture policies in health and safety, global production, climate change effects on the agriculture and food industries as well as food safety.
