Whence did you come?

SGS Thailand promotes origin testing to ensure the integrity of export products.

Having doubts about whether your rice is genuine Hom Mali? Or whether the bottle of honey you've just bought came from the source it claims? Just test its origin.

A SGS worker tests the quality of rice, one of the main products the company provides testing service for. Verification can also help fragrant Hom Mali rice exporters solve the problem of rampant fake product in certain markets.

Origin testing can assure buyers that they have paid the right prices for the right products. The method can even discern whether rice is from Thailand or smuggled in from elsewhere.

    Interesting, but here’s a thought. If the rice millers, large and small, were compelled to register for ISO 9001 standard it would most probably cut out the worst cases of corruption. But then, quite possibly the powers that have the force to make the millers register would lose their benefits. A way round that should be found as quickly as possible.
