Argentina's Senasa mandates 90‑day Renspa update, tightens border controls

Senasa Renspa update border phytosanitary controls Chaco Formosa

The National Service of Agri‑Food Health and Quality (Senasa) has intensified its zoophytosanitary inspections at both border entry points (TVF) and on‑route checkpoints in the provinces of Chaco and Formosa. In the first half of 2026 the number of inspections matched or surpassed those carried out in the same period of 2025, aiming to block prohibited products that could carry pests such as the red palm weevil.

In parallel, Senasa issued Resolution 679/2026, obligating all producers whose Renspa registration is more than one year old to refresh their sanitary data within 90 days. Updates may be submitted digitally through the ARCA Clave Fiscal system or in person at local Senasa offices. Producers who miss the deadline risk having their Renspa record deregistered. The refreshed information is intended to strengthen traceability, improve planning of official sanitary actions and enhance response to emergencies.

These measures together target better protection of Argentina’s agricultural sector and consumer health.
