USDA Certifies Export Inspection Services of Alabama, Washington Agencies

A notice published by USDA this week certifies that the Alabama Department of Agriculture and Industries and the Washington State Department of Agriculture are “meeting the criteria” to carry out official grain export inspection services at ports within their states. The certification, made under the U.S. Grain Standards Act, lasts through 2027. USDA also announced the designation or renewal of other official agencies that are authorized to provide “official services at locations other than export port locations.”
