Crop Evaluation Ltd is a separate company wholly owned by HGCA.

Its mission is to identify and recommend the appropriate cereal and oilseed-rape varieties for the different market sectors of the industry in a timely and cost-effective manner, and to ensure that these recommendations are publicised.
