The crop industry and the agro-industrial complex in general have a task not only to systematically increase crop yields, but also to improve product quality: protein content in grain, sugar in beet roots, a-acid in hop cones, vegetable oil with high iodine the number of oilseeds, fibers with a high yield of elementary fibers.

An important factor in the intensification of production processes is the development of progressive harmonized and modified standards that determine the prospects for development and allow us to focus on global and European markets. When developing, revising and harmonizing standards for agricultural products, the tasks of further improving the quality and its fullest use should be solved by establishing differentiated requirements for the quality of commodity varieties and categories, increasing its technological and nutritional value; increase of indicators and quality norms in the conditions of further mechanization of assembly and commodity processing of products.

Standardization of conditions for storage, transportation and packaging of agricultural products provides appropriate conditions for maintaining high quality products. The standards should include requirements for products to be stored and methods of storage and finishing (drying, cleaning, sorting), packaging, packaging, vehicles, storage, storage modes and terms and processing methods.
