SUSTAINABLE CEREALS AND OILSEEDS - DTP 112

WHAT IS THAT?


CSQA DTP 112 "Sustainable cereals and oilseeds" originate from the need of the main operators in the international distribution sector and in the animal feed sector to have sustainable products of national origin.
 
The standard was born from a joint process among the various stakeholders with the aim of defining cultivation and processing techniques aimed at producing cereals and oilseeds (and their derivatives) at the best of known practices in order to guarantee a sustainable product according to the three fundamental pillars of sustainability: environmental protection, economic viability, social equality.
 
The standard requires a supply chain approach from the field to the finished product; the certification can be requested by individual companies and associated companies (groups or supply chains).
 
CSQA has already certified a total of over 20,000 farms, more than 50 drying plants and the main industries in the sector in the Po Valley.
 
DTP 112 has obtained international recognition by successfully passing the benchmarking with the FEFAC 2021 Guidelines.
 
The standard can be requested from CSQA who will send it free of charge.
