Agbiz Grain Quarterly covers it all – from silo management and proficiency testing to energy performance certificates.
Finding the right person to manage a silo in South Africa is no small task. The ideal candidate must possess the right technical qualifications, personality, leadership ability, and the desire to build a long-term career in the grain storage industry. This month we take a deep dive into the four-generation workplace, why silo managers still matter and what skills they need, and what building the next generation of leaders actually entails.
Proficiency testing is a system used for the objective evaluation of a laboratory’s performance by comparing its results to those of other laboratories analysing identical samples. The aim is to ensure that accurate and reliable results are reported in an environment where quality and cost are critical considerations. Discover more about The Southern African Grain Laboratory NPC’s commitment to delivering accurate quality analyses to the agricultural industry in this Agbiz Grain Quarterly article.
Agbiz and Agbiz Grain’s 12th virtual SHEQ workshop focussed on energy performance certificate regulations, with two speakers from the South African National Energy Development Institute discussing the standards and stakeholders involved, the process of becoming compliant, what an energy-efficient building looks like, and the benefits of benchmarking.
