This form will be mandatory from 1 January 2024 for all QS Feed certified companies that market, process or handle soy, soy based products and/or feed.
All soybeans certified QS starting from 1 January 2024 must therefore be sustainable, therefore the cultivation of soybeans (primary production) in the countries of origin must be certified against a sustainability standard recognized by QS (annex 4.2).
QS has recognized CSQA's DTP 112 "Sustainable grains and oilseeds" for the "Purchase of deforestation-free soy" add-on module .
DTP 112 certified soybean producers will therefore not have to carry out additional audits to access the German market and be able to supply sustainable soybeans to QS certified supply chain operators.
The DTP 112 had already obtained international recognition by successfully passing the benchmarking with the FEFAC 2021 Guidelines.
