Companhia Integrada de Desenvolvimento Agrícola de Santa Catarina - Cidasc

What Companhia Integrada de Desenvolvimento Agrícola de Santa Catarina - Cidasc does

Companhia Integrada de Desenvolvimento Agrícola de Santa Catarina (Cidasc) is a state-owned enterprise of the Government of Santa Catarina, Brazil, operating as the official agricultural defense agency under the State Secretariat of Agriculture and Fisheries (SAR/SAPE). Founded in 1979 and headquartered in Florianópolis with 714 employees, Cidasc executes statewide animal health, plant health, food inspection, laboratory diagnostics, and traceability programs across Santa Catarina. Its operational scope spans surveillance and disease control for cattle, poultry, swine, equines, and aquaculture; pesticide residue monitoring; inspection of animal-origin products; agricultural input oversight; and sanitary education.

The company's core technology asset is the SIGEN+ (Sistema de Gestão da Defesa Agropecuária Catarinense) digital platform, which integrates producer registration, animal transit permits (GTA), animal health registries, and the e-Origem traceability module. e-Origem is a free digital system that enables primary producers to register production data, generate field notebooks (caderno de campo), and assign traceability codes to fruits and vegetables, supporting one-step-back traceability per Portaria SES/SAR 459/2016. The Selo de Conformidade Cidasc (SCC) is a process certification scheme based on Food Safety Management System (SGSA) evaluation targeting small and medium agrribusiness enterprises. The platform supports daily-updated integration tables (Produto Comercial and Código Cidasc) consumed by third-party traceability service providers, with no public API or MCP endpoints.

Cidasc's business model is that of a public agency: it is funded by the Government of Santa Catarina through budget allocations and provides services free of charge to producers, processors, veterinarians, and citizens. There are no commercial pricing tiers, no venture funding, and no private investors. The company distributes services through a hybrid model combining a statewide network of regional offices and field technicians with the SIGEN+ self-serve digital platform, supplemented by social media, monthly journal, podcast, and sanitary education programs. Strategic partnerships with federal authorities (MAPA, ANVISA), state entities (SAR, SES, MPSC, CEASA-SC, EPAGRI, DIVS, CRMV/SC), and the FRBL fund underpin its mandate execution.
