The Brazilian Confederation of Agriculture and Livestock (CNA) will offer vegetable producers a digital platform capable of storing records and information for the application of traceability along the production chain.
The system, developed by the CNA Institute, is an option made available to producers to comply with Joint Normative Instruction No. 2 of February 7, 2018, of the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply (MPLS) and the National Sanitary Surveillance Agency (Anvisa), which deals with the monitoring and control of agricultural practices.
The tool was presented at a meeting of the Citrus Sectorial Chamber, held this week in Brasilia. According to technical advisor to the CNA, Eduardo Brandão Costa, the system is already in the testing phase and by the end of 2018 must be available for voluntary adhesion of interested rural producers.
“We are working to get producers to comply with regulatory obligations. By 2021, the main fruits and vegetables produced in Brazil must be identified, “he said.
The assessor complements that the traceability system developed by the CNA Institute is another option available for producers to comply with the legislation. Since August 7, the Normative Instruction is already in place for producers of citrus, apple, grape, lettuce, potato, lettuce, cabbage, tomato and cucumber.
