National Service for Agrifood Health, Safety and Quality (Senasica)
The National Service for Agrifood Health, Safety and Quality, known as Senasica, is an essential organization in Mexico dedicated to safeguarding the health and safety of the country's agrifood sector. Based in Mexico, Senasica operates under the Secretariat of Agriculture and Rural Development, focusing on the inspection, monitoring, and regulation of agricultural products to ensure they meet health and safety standards.
Significant Events
Senasica recently collaborated with the Secretariat of Rural Development (SDR) to confirm the first case of Cattle Screwworm in the state of Chihuahua. This collaboration was critical in identifying and addressing the threat posed by the parasite. The discovery prompted Senasica and the SDR to implement emergency protocols designed to prevent the spread of the Cattle Screwworm, which can have devastating effects on livestock.
The quick response and cooperation between Senasica and SDR highlight the organization's commitment to maintaining agricultural health and preventing potential crises in the agricultural sector.
