What it does

The Grain Quality Program is delivered in accordance with the Canadian Grain Commission’s responsibilities under the Canada Grain Act: to establish and maintain Canada’s grain quality standards and regulate grain handling in Canada to ensure a dependable commodity for domestic and export markets. The Canadian Grain Commission establishes standards, procedures and equipment for grading, sampling, inspection, weighing and other aspects of grain handling in Canada. Provision of grain inspection and grain safety testing, grain sanitation services, grading and analytical services, and weighing oversight, and grain quality and safety analysis and monitoring are integral to Canada’s grain quality assurance system. In addition, the Canadian Grain Commission collects and publishes information about Canadian grain. The target groups for this program are the Canadian agriculture industry and farmers. Service fee revenue entirely funds this program.
