Canadian Identity Preserved Recognition System (CIPRS)

What is Identity Preserved?

Identity preserved agricultural production involves maintaining the unique traits or quality characteristics of a crop right from seed through transportation, handling until processing. These traits can involve anything from high sugar content for snack soybeans to high-coloured durum for the pasta market or unique oils for industrial uses. It is really about agricultural companies working with end processors to identify market needs and then ensuring the processes are in place to meet those needs.
