Following the ban on the entry and marketing in the European Union market, as well as the export from it, of certain agricultural and agro-industrial products from areas that have been deforested after 30.12.2024, a measure that has been implemented by Regulation (EU) 31.12.2020/2023 of the European Parliament and of the Council, the Federal Public Revenue Administration (AFIP) considered it appropriate to consider this EU decision, in order to differentiate Argentina from other exporting countries, thus expanding international markets.
In order to comply with regulations and promote the consumption of products from deforestation-free supply chains, Argentina developed a supervision system, via monitoring and control by geolocation of the lots under production, with periodic reports and "in situ" verification - Monitoring, Reporting and Verification System "MRV" - within the Sectoral Vision platform of the Gran Chaco “ViSeC”", which will ensure complete traceability from the field to the port of shipment and will be managed by the Rosario Civil Association Stock Exchange.
This platform requires information that must be provided by the interested parties, either by themselves and/or through the intervention of the competent bodies, for the purposes of issuing the “Deforestation-Free Product Certificates (CLD)”.
Thus, the AFIP issued the AFIP General Resolution No. 5533/24, which establishes a procedure for sharing necessary information:
