As group technical manager for the flour division of FFM Berhad, one of Malaysia's largest flour mills, Jimmy Chang Gee Sing needs to know what he is buying. Modern milling is very complex. We need to know the quality characteristics of wheat in detail. The annual CGC harvest survey provides the kind of information we need to plan our purchases. As president of the Canadian National Millers Association, Gordon Harrison speaks for millers across the country.
Staff prepare the survey sample kits for mailing.
Barry Senft, the CGC's chief commissioner, says that producer support is critical to the success of the harvest survey. We depend on grain producers. This makes Canadian grains more competitive. Senft asks that producers send their samples in as soon as possible.
