The National Agricultural Health Service (Senasa) has implemented new mandatory phytosanitary requirements for importing fresh pineapple from Ecuador. These requirements stipulate that production sites, processing plants, and packing plants/collection centers must be registered and authorized by Agrocalidad, Ecuador's agricultural control agency. This change, formalized through Directorial Resolution No. D000035-2024-Midagri-Senasa-DSV and published on September 27, replaces the previous additional declaration and general requirements for pineapple importation from Ecuador as outlined in Directorial Resolution No. 342-2002-AG-Senasa-DGSV.
