The National Agri-Food Health and Quality Service (SENASA) opens the registration period for citrus establishments for the 2026–2027 campaign from October 19 to November 13, 2026. This is intended for producers who wish to export fresh fruit to markets included in the Export Certification Program with Traceability.
In this campaign, registration includes the use of the new version of the Citrus Traceability IT System (SITC), a tool through which producers who meet the established conditions will be able to manage the process themselves.
The procedure will depend on each establishment's history within the Program:
Producers registered in the 2025–2026 campaign: They can register themselves through the new version of the SITC.
Producers who were registered in previous campaigns but not in the 2025–2026 campaign: They must contact the corresponding operational office to request authorization for self-managed registration through the SITC.
First-time registration: New producers and those not registered since the 2024–2025 campaign must complete the process in person at the SENASA operational office or the Program office corresponding to their jurisdiction, presenting the forms (link forms) and the relevant documentation.
When registering, each producer must select the destinations to which they plan to export during the campaign, taking into account the products included in the Program:
-European Union: orange, mandarin, grapefruit, and lemon.
-Chile: orange and lemon.
-Colombia: orange, mandarin, and lemon.
