Chile: SAG makes three new digital procedures available in Cerofilas

The article highlights two important developments in Chile's agricultural sector, focusing on the streamlining of processes to digital platforms by the SAG (Servicio Agrícola y Ganadería) to facilitate administrative tasks related to the management of certain agricultural resources. These changes aim to make procedures more efficient and accessible.

Firstly, the article informs that requests to cut, exploit, or remove quillay and Chilean palm trees, under specific conditions, now need to be submitted online, marking a departure from previous procedures that involved more complex steps for forested areas. This move is designed to simplify the process and reduce physical interaction.

Secondly, the article introduces the new digital registration certificate for copihueras, a regulated species, which is now mandatory for those involved in its marketing. This initiative aims to ensure compliance with regulations and enhance transparency in the market.

Both procedures can now be completed through the Cerofilas portal, removing the need for in-person submission of documentation at SAG offices, thereby adapting to the current digital trend and providing more convenience for stakeholders in the agricultural sector.
