SENASICA Certification: Who Qualifies and What You Get

This certification provides official sanitary and phytosanitary documentation to verify that agricultural products meet specific health and safety standards required for safe trade.

👤Who it's for

This scheme is designed specifically for agricultural producers who are looking to expand their market reach. It is intended for those who wish to export their goods to international markets or sell their products directly to major retailers that require verified safety standards.

🎁What you get

By participating, you obtain official sanitary and phytosanitary certification. This certification serves as a formal validation that your agricultural products meet the necessary health and safety requirements, making them eligible for trade in regulated markets and with large-scale commercial buyers.

💰What it costs you

Obtaining and maintaining this certification involves two main requirements. First, you will be responsible for paying the necessary inspection fees. Second, you must invest the necessary time and resources to ensure your production site maintains full compliance with Good Agricultural Practices (BPA).

⚠️The catch to know

The primary challenge of this scheme is the administrative workload. The documentation requirements are extensive and can be quite complex to manage. Furthermore, this is not a one-time process; you must be prepared to undergo audits on an annual basis to ensure you continue to meet the required standards.

1. Review the specific phytosanitary standards and requirements for your specific type of crop or product.
2. Implement and maintain all necessary Good Agricultural Practices (BPA) at your production site.
