The Government launched a new deregulation in the fruits industry, based on “light regulations”, where Senasa will work directly with the producers.
The Minister Federico Sturzenegger announced a new deregulation in the fruits industry, based on “a light regulation”, where the National Agrifood Health and Quality Service (Senasa) Work directly with the producers, before the pests that arise, and make “the issuance of phytosanitary certificates.”
Through his social networks, he informed that this measure managed to take shape after working together with Pablo Cortesepresident of Senasa, whom he described as “The undisputed hero of the day.”
“We ask ourselves: What is the true meaning of Senasa’s intervention in the packaging and fruit markets? The response was very clear: the health surveillance (control that there are no pests that can spread affecting the activity), and the issuance of phytosanitary certificates for export (which allow the international trade of these products). We then wrote a rule from zero focused on just these two things, “said the minister.
After several meetings, they concluded that fruit producers “They just have to warn Senasa what they do and where they are”so that, before a sanitary event, the agency can work with them and contain the focus, as well as resort to the agency to request the issuance of phytosanitary certificates.
Also, Sturzenegger highlighted the deregulations that will be released from this project: it is necessary to ask for enabling facilities and there will be no need to revalidate them annually; The producer can harvest whenever the authorization permits to do so are eliminated; All regulations related to the packaging are eliminated, since they can be chosen by the same producers, and export restrictions by fruit typology; Likewise, what the market demands will be exported.
SENASA, besides, will be available to certify what the health authorities of the importing countries demandHowever, you may not demand any additional procedure.
“In this way, producers are going to make less paperwork and the agency can put more energy in health surveillance, where it adds value. With this reformulation of zero -based regulations, we take another step in the revolution of the deregulation that it asks us Our President Javier Milei, in this case, favoring fruit producers wide and length of the country.
