On 27 August 2021, the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply (MAPA), Brazil’s National Organisation for Phytosanitary Protection (NPPO), published Ordinance 385 of 25 August 2021. The new regulation establishes criteria and procedures for carrying out phytosanitary treatments for quarantine purposes in the international trade of plant-based products.
The update meets certification requirements of buying countries in export operations and the application of phytosanitary measures in imports of products of vegetable origin and other regulated articles, such as wood packaging material. Ordinance 385/2021 aims to prevent the introduction and spread of pests in international transit and enhance treatment’s traceability across the supply chain. Among other issues, it regulates the fumigation of agricultural products on cargo holds of vessels.
Last July, MAPA had already updated the regulation for issuing international phytosanitary certificates according to the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) guidelines.
