PIPAA and the crops requiring pre-certification
- Running an agro-export operation
- Exporting agricultural produce
- Audited
PIPAA (the Integrated Agricultural and Environmental Protection Program) is a program endorsed by MAGA and attached to VISAR's Plant Health Directorate that provides sanitary and phytosanitary inspection and pre-certification of farms, packing plants and shipments under work plans agreed with importing countries; it has two coordination units (Phytosanitary Certification, and Agricultural Food Safety). Between 3 January and 30 September 2025 it served 90 exporting companies (peppers, tomato, plants for sowing, seeds, papaya, rambutan, among others) shipping to more than 70 countries, mainly the United States, Canada and the EU. If a crop has an official program (avocado, mango, rambutan, peppers, tomato, papaya), the farm and the packing plant must be enrolled in the corresponding PIPAA work plan.

This layer is research: read from public sources by the archive's own team, every claim cited with the date it was consulted, and audited where it is marked so. It has not entered the verified store — no figure here was fetched back from its source or stamped with a retrieval time — so it wears no red provenance numeral and never mixes with the verified figures.
