The National Agri-Food Health and Quality Service (SENASA) has released Argentina fertilizer regulation 2025, which is a substantial regulation update impacting the management of fertilisers, amendments, and other critical agricultural inputs in Argentina. The resolution intends to modernise the sector, improve safety, and streamline trade processes.

The new rule is in reaction to the recently adopted Regulatory Decree No. DECTO-2025-101-APN-PTE, which amended the legislative framework controlling fertilisers and made revisions to Law No. 20,466. SENASA has been appointed as the primary operational authority in charge of implementing the regulations, which include administering registries and controls.

Key aspects of Resolution 214/2025 include:

• Streamlined Importation: The Argentina fertilizer regulation 2025 establishes a tiered framework for importing fertilisers and amendments based on certificates from relevant authorities in certain countries. This attempts to speed up international commerce while ensuring appropriate hygienic and productive protections.
• Free and Permanent Registration: Registration of products and businesses in the applicable national registration will henceforth be tariff-free and have unlimited validity, eliminating earlier time limits. Registrations, however, can be cancelled if the composition of a product changes.
• Enhanced Control of Ammonium Nitrate: Specific obligations are established for the marketing and transportation of fertilizers containing ammonium nitrate in bulk. These measures are designed to improve traceability and bolster public and environmental security.
• Authority to Restrict Unsuitable Products: The Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, and Fisheries, through SENASA, has express authority to limit, prohibit, or remove goods from the registry if deemed unsuitable for certain locations or crops, prioritising agricultural production and environmental preservation.
• Alignment with Modernization Efforts: The new resolution is consistent with Argentina’s overall State Modernisation Plan, which emphasises simpler procedures, reduced administrative burdens, and the use of digital technology for activities.

This regulatory revision demonstrates the government’s commitment to protecting the quality and safety of agricultural inputs while also creating a more efficient and transparent working environment for farmers and merchants. SENASA emphasises the need of following the revised legislation in order to remain compliant inside the national area.

In the upcoming days, SENASA is anticipated to issue further information about the implementation of Resolution 214/2025 as well as particular rules for the registration and processing of agri-inputs. To guarantee a seamless transition, it is recommended that stakeholders in the agriculture industry become acquainted with the new regulations.
