Legal Requirements For The Registration Of Establishments Listed On The MAPA

Registration is required for companies involved in the production, handling, storage or marketing of agricultural products. This includes:

• Food and drink factories (dairies, breweries, vegetable processors);
• Producers of agricultural inputs (fertilizers, feed, seeds);
• Importers and distributors of veterinary products, agrochemicals or animal derivatives;
• Warehouses and logistics centers that stock perishable or regulated items

Why not ignore it?

Unregistered establishments are banned and fined (recent cases have reached R$500,000). In addition, registration is a prerequisite for selling in formal markets, exporting and taking part in public tenders

I WANT TO REGISTER MY ESTABLISHMENT

The Good Manufacturing Practices (BPF) Manual is a technical document that details how your company operates safely and with quality. It is not just "another piece of paper": it is proof that you follow the hygiene, traceability and control standards required by the MAPA. Its contents include:

• Operational flows: From the reception of raw materials to the storage of the final product;
• Risk controls: Protocols to avoid contamination;
• Training records: Proof that staff know and apply the rules.

Practical impact: Companies with a well-structured BPF manual reduce audit failures by 70% and speed up registration approval. In 2024, 90% of interdictions occurred due to inconsistencies in this document.

Here are the main challenges and how to overcome them:

1. a) Errors in Sipeagro

The Integrated System for Agricultural Products and Establishments is MAPA's digital platform for requesting registrations. Problems such as "Invalid Establishment" or incorrectly filled in fields are common and slow down processes.

• Solution: Use valid digital certificates and validate each piece of data with the CNPJ before submitting.

1. b) Lack of Specificity

Generic labeling designs or BPF manuals without operational details are rejected.

• Solution: Include photos of the facilities, flowcharts and step-by-step descriptions.

1. c) Missed deadlines

MAPA notifies failures via Sipeagro, but many miss the deadline for correction.

• Solution: Monitor the system on a daily basis and designate a person exclusively responsible for alerts.
