N° 3 • JULY 2014
Dear Customer,
This year marks the third edition of our
“Focus on Black Sea”. Since the last
edition, our teams have been working
tirelessly to improve internal processes,
invest in upgrades for our laboratory
network and develop new services that
will better serve your needs.
Both the quantity and the quality of
crops seen at this early stage of the
new season look promising. We expect
large quantities of grain and oilseed
exportation to commence from this
region and first shipments are already
TURKEY
AFLATOXIN AND GMO MONITORING
SERVICES FOR CORN
Aflatoxins are a group of mycotoxins
which are usually most severe when
drought, extreme heat or injuries occur
to crops.
Since June 2014, Turkey allows the sale
of products with a proportion of GMO
contaminants of 0.9% or less. However,
the import of GMO seeds is still not
allowed as well as the production of
GMO corn. SGS Turkey provides field
sampling and analytical services to help
clients monitor the mycotoxin levels and
presence of GMO in their crops.
Our team of experts will supply a mapping of the country showing the levels
of both aflatoxins and GMO. They will
select villages to be monitor based on
the production capacity (10,000 Mtons
per season). These villages are visited
in intervals throughout the growing season and crops are sampled directly from
the fields. These samples are labelled
by village name and specific location
and then analyzed to form a complete
picture of Turkish corn with the levels of
both aflatoxin and GMO found by area.
being loaded with new crop grain. The
current political and economic situation
in the region puts even more emphasis
on accurate and reliable inspection
and testing services. SGS has been
strengthening our network and our
leading position in the region continues
to develop.
This newsletter will introduce you to the
regional contacts within the SGS Team,
including the office teams as well as our
laboratory experts. Our Geneva team
is also available to support your global
requirements as required.
SEED AND CROP SERVICES
SGS Turkey offers contract research
services to Agrochemical companies
and has been assisting its clients during
their registration process with the
Ministry of Agriculture since 2012.
We are delighted to assist and support
you in your endeavors and wish you
every success during the new campaign.

GMO SERVICES
Anna Barkova
During the last two months, our
laboratory has acquired a new PCR
instrument that will enable us to deliver
results with even greater accuracy and
faster turnaround times. Results will
be available within 2-3 days after the
completion of loading; this will reduce
your risk and help to minimize your
cost in the long run. Quantitative and
qualitative tests will be performed for all
crops planted in Ukraine.

SGS experts also monitor the supply
value chain at each stage, from seed
origins to the loading of crops, to verify
that both regulatory compliance and
consumer confidence are met. Our
GMO IP monitoring program will also
help you to ensure the quality and
integrity of your cargo by detecting
and rectifying problems within storage,
transportation and production.

TOXICOLOGY LABORATORY
Testing and calibrating of our new
LCMS/MS instrument is currently
underway and our team will be ready to
receive your orders for pesticide residue,
mycotoxin contamination, dioxin residue
and other harmful substances later in
the summer. By sampling at different
key stages of development, our team
can help you monitor your products and
reduce the risk of contaminated lots and
material losses all season long by finding
possible aflatoxin or dioxin issues as
early as possible in the supply chain.
FARM MONITORING
SGS provides farm monitoring services
to increase transparency of all products
used during the growing process. Our
expert team will monitor the seedling
material, as well as fertilizers and
herbicides used at the farm up to the
planting/inputs at the field. Through
business assessments made by
our team, this program will reduce
possible fraud and risks for the owner,
shareholders and investment funds.
INSECT MAPPING
SGS has been developing insect
mapping for a variety of insects for
several years to allow crop protection
companies to better define insecticide
application strategies. Building on
our expertise in the agriculture and
farming sectors, our agronomists deliver
targeted mapping and analysis products,
giving you a clear picture of your land
conditions and the various actions that
may be required.
