Servicio Nacional de Sanidad Agraria SENASA

What Servicio Nacional de Sanidad Agraria SENASA does

Servicio Nacional de Sanidad Agraria del Perú (SENASA) is a decentralized public agency under Peru's Ministry of Agricultural Development and Irrigation (MIDAGRI) and the statutorily designated National Authority for Agricultural Health. Its functional mandate is to protect Peru from the entry and spread of agricultural pests and animal diseases, preserve national agricultural and livestock wealth, and ensure food safety for domestic and export markets. The agency serves agricultural producers, livestock farmers, agro-exporters, importers, and the general public through a nationwide network of regional executive offices and a central headquarters located at Av. La Molina 1915, La Molina, Lima.

SENASA's service portfolio is delivered through a suite of interconnected digital systems rather than a unified commercial product. The core platform is the SENASA portal on Peru's government gateway (gob.pe), which routes users into specialized subsystems: SIGSA for animal health management; SIGIA for agricultural and livestock input registries; SICPO for organic production control; SITPEL for online pesticide procedures; SIPET for livestock procedures; SIIMF for phytosanitary movement certification of export crops (grapes, blueberries, mango, mandarin, avocado); DIP Web for agri-food safety management; and the Mesa de Partes Virtual (MPV) for electronic administrative submissions. A Power BI-based SENASA BI portal provides statistical dashboards for quarantine, surveillance, and disease control programs. The agency also operates an institutional repository (DSpace) for scientific and technical publications, and administers a national sanitary emergency framework (evidenced by a 90-day national emergency declaration in July 2026) and an expanding network of authorized public and private diagnostic laboratories.

SENASA is funded through national government budget allocations via MIDAGRI and does not operate on a commercial revenue model. Service fees are set administratively under TUPA (Texto Único de Procedimientos Administrativos). The agency's GTM is direct-to-public-service delivery through physical offices, regional executive directorates across Peru's departments, digital self-service portals, and public communication channels (Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, Flickr). The customer base spans essentially all Peruvian agricultural value-chain participants, with no disclosed revenue, headcount, or commercial traction metrics.

Core offering

SENASA is Peru's National Agricultural Health Authority, responsible for protecting the country from the entry and spread of agricultural pests and animal diseases. It issues phytosanitary and sanitary certificates, authorizes agricultural input registrations (pesticides, veterinary products), conducts inspections of production sites and packing facilities, and runs nationwide control and eradication programs for diseases such as brucellosis, tuberculosis, classical swine fever, and rabies.

Product overview

SENASA operates as Peru's National Agricultural Health Service, providing a portfolio of interconnected digital services rather than a unified commercial product. The core offering is the SENASA Portal on the government platform (Gob.pe), which serves as the main gateway to institutional information and procedures. This portal connects to multiple specialized subsystems: SIGIA manages agricultural and livestock input registries; SIPET handles livestock procedures; SICPO controls organic production certification; SITPEL processes pesticide-related online procedures; and SIIMF manages phytosanitary certification for exports. Additional systems include DIP Web for food safety, SIGSA for animal health, and the SENASA BI portal providing statistical dashboards. The portfolio is completed by the Institutional Repository for scientific publications and the Virtual Document Desk (MPV) for administrative submissions.

Direct peers

• Instituto Colombiano Agropecuario (ICA): Colombia's national agricultural and livestock authority, performing SENASA-equivalent functions for animal health, plant health, agricultural inputs registration, and export certification. Both agencies share similar Andean/regional disease pressures (foot-and-mouth, classical swine fever) and similar export-oriented agricultural economies, making ICA a directly comparable peer.
• Servicio Nacional de Calidad y Sanidad Vegetal y de Semillas (SENAVE) - Paraguay: Paraguay's national plant health and seed quality agency, a directly comparable peer performing plant quarantine, phytosanitary certification, and agricultural input regulation functions similar to SENASA's plant-focused portfolio. Both serve South American agro-export economies.
• USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS): The US federal agency responsible for protecting animal and plant health, analogous to SENASA. APHIS performs the same core functions: phytosanitary certification for exports, animal disease control programs (brucellosis, tuberculosis, classical swine fever equivalents), pesticide regulation, and laboratory authorization. It is the most directly comparable peer in terms of mandate, scope, and regulatory authority.
• Servicio Nacional de Sanidad y Calidad Agroalimentaria (SENASA) - Argentina: Argentina's SENASA performs near-identical functions to Peru's SENASA: phytosanitary certification, animal disease control, agricultural input regulation, and food safety oversight. Both share the SENASA name and mandate, operate under their respective agricultural ministries, and serve as national SPS authorities. Direct functional peer despite different countries.
• Servicio Agrícola y Ganadero (SAG) - Chile: Chile's national agricultural and livestock service, the closest regional peer to SENASA. SAG performs identical functions: phytosanitary certification for fruit exports (a critical role for Chilean grape, blueberry, and cherry exports), animal health programs, agricultural input regulation, and food safety oversight. Operates under Chile's Ministry of Agriculture with comparable national scope.

Broad incumbents

• Ministerio de Agricultura, Pesca y Alimentación (MAPA) - Spain / Veterinary and Plant Health Services: Spain's national agricultural authority encompassing plant and animal health regulatory functions broadly aligned with SENASA's mandate. As a broader incumbent in a mature European regulatory environment, MAPA serves as a model for integrated digital service delivery and EU-aligned SPS standards that SENASA must match for market access to Europe.
• European Food Safety Authority (EFSA): EU-level food safety authority providing scientific assessments on plant/animal health, food safety, and agricultural inputs. While broader and supranational, EFSA's frameworks influence Peru's SPS standards for EU market access, making it a relevant peer in regulatory approach and digital knowledge dissemination.
• Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA): Canada's federal agency responsible for animal and plant health, food safety, and agricultural inputs — a broader incumbent peer with mature digital service infrastructure. CFIA is often cited as a benchmark for integrated digital phytosanitary and food safety service delivery, relevant for SENASA's ongoing digital transformation.

Emerging players

• Organismo Internacional Regional de Sanidad Agropecuaria (OIRSA): Regional international organization for plant and animal health across Central America and the Caribbean. OIRSA works alongside national agencies (including equivalent to SENASA) on regional disease control and harmonization. Serves as a peer in shared mandate scope but with a regional rather than single-country focus.

Regional players

• National Agri-Food Health, Quality and Safety Service (SENAVE) / SENASA Venezuela: Venezuela's national agricultural sanitary service (INSAI), operating a comparable mandate for animal health, plant health, and food safety. A regional peer sharing border-adjacent agricultural ecosystems with Peru and facing similar tropical disease pressures.
