Rosselkhoznadzor

What Rosselkhoznadzor does

Rosselkhoznadzor (Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance) is a federal executive authority of the Russian Federation established in 2007 and headquartered in Moscow. The agency is the sole statutory regulator responsible for veterinary and phytosanitary supervision across the Russian Federation, with exclusive powers over animal health monitoring, plant quarantine, agricultural product safety, and international trade certification of food and agricultural goods. It serves agricultural producers, exporters, and importers of regulated products, along with the general public for pet travel and import/export documentation, and operates against the policy framework of the Russian Ministry of Agriculture.

The agency's core technology platform consists of four interconnected federal state information systems: ФГИС «Меркурий» (Mercury) for electronic veterinary certification and supply-chain traceability of animal-origin products; АРГУС (ARGUS) for import certificate management and foreign competent-authority interface; ФГИС «Сатурн» (Saturn) for pesticide and agrochemical tracking; and ФГИС «ВетИС» (VetIS) as the overarching platform for animal disease and epizootic surveillance. An «Inspector» mobile application supports field inspections. Distribution is via 40+ regional/interregional directorates covering all federal districts plus newly incorporated territories, and over 100 border inspection points across road, rail, sea, and air checkpoints, with subordinate research institutions (VNIIKR, VGNKI, VNIIZzh, APK NATSRYBA, COK APK).

Rosselkhoznadzor is a government agency funded by the Russian federal budget rather than commercial revenue. Its services include issuance of veterinary and phytosanitary certificates, registration of regulated establishments, control of pesticide and agrochemical turnover, and surveillance of the epizootic situation. The agency's partnerships span international organizations (WOAH, IPPC, Eurasian Economic Commission), the Russian Ministry of Agriculture as parent ministry, and digital service infrastructure (Gosuslugi, My Export platform). Pricing on individual services is not publicly disclosed as services are delivered as state regulatory functions rather than commercial products.
