| A
natural diversification of the Saybolt services, the Agri-Dry
Cargo and PSI Division offers a full range of inspection and
analytical services covering the handling, shipment and storage
of agricultural commodities and products, including edible
oils, oil seeds, grains, animal feed, sugar, coffee, minerals,
ores and fertilisers.
The
Agri-Dry Cargo Division plays an important
role in the monitoring of humanitarian (emergency) relief
operations and food aid programmes.
Its capabilities include quality and quantity
verification of food parcels, shelter material (tents),
hygienic and sanitary parcels.
Pre-Shipment Inspections (PSI) assists governments in monitoring
and controlling the
import of goods and contributes towards preserving the revenues
these goods should produce.
The backbone of the PSI system is the verification of goods
(before shipment) against specifications and invoices. PSI
arrangements can prevent over-billing that could drain foreign
currency reserves as well as under-billing that would reduce
the level of import duties for a government.
