It is MAPA/DIPOA's electronic platform for managing establishment registration, product label registration, and import documentation for animal origin products and animal feed/pet food. The platform is accessible at the gov.br domain and serves as the single system of record for all registration activities.\n\nPGA-SIGSIF replaced the older **SIPEAGRO** system. The transition is governed by a hard cutoff: SIPEAGRO registrations remain valid through **July 8, 2030**; from that date, only PGA-SIGSIF registrations will be accepted.\n\n## Platform Functions\n\nPGA-SIGSIF handles:\n\n- **Establishment (plant) registration** for foreign manufacturers exporting to Brazil\n- **Product label registration** (registro de produto / cadastro de produto)\n- **User access management** — designation of authorized representatives\n- **Import cargo documentation** — verification by VIGIAGRO (Vigilância Agropecuária Internacional / International Agricultural Surveillance)\n\n## User Access Structure\n\nThe platform uses a hierarchical user access model:\n\n1. **Acesso Externo (External Access Manager)**: The primary user linked to a foreign establishment in PGA-SIGSIF. This role has authority to:\n   - Approve, deny, or revoke access for additional users\n   - Add, modify, and delete existing product labels\n   - Control company profile and plant information\n\n2. **Representatives**: Consultants or additional staff may be added as representatives if designated by the company. Their access level is controlled by the External Access Manager.\n\n3. **The Brazilian importer** also has an account in the system, linked to the same establishment.\n\n> \"A more detailed explanation of the levels of user access and the steps to create an External Access Manager profile are outlined in Appendix 5, section 4.\" (BR2026-0001, p. 9)\n\n## Platform Access Workflow\n\nForeign manufacturer access to PGA-SIGSIF requires two sequential steps:\n\n1. **Establishment registration** must first be approved and confirmed in the system\n2. **Access request** is then submitted by the designated External Access Manager\n\n> \"A liberação de acesso/vínculo é necessária para que a empresa já esteja previamente cadastrada. A liberação de acesso/vínculo é realizada mediante solicitação na plataforma.\" (BR_circular_21_2025 DIPOA)\n\n## SIPEAGRO → PGA-SIGSIF Transition\n\n| Milestone | Date |\n|---|---|\n| PGA-SIGSIF goes live | July 8, 2025 |\n| SIPEAGRO registrations remain valid | Until July 8, 2030 |\n| SIPEAGRO registrations expire | July 8, 2030 |\n| PGA-SIGSIF-only era begins | July 8, 2030 |\n\n> \"Companies that already have labels registered in the old system prior to the publication of this report do not need to resubmit them.\" (BR2026-0001, p. 8)\n\nSource: USDA GAIN report BR2026-0001 (January 6, 2026); Circular nº 21/2025/DIPOA/SDA/MAPA.\n","sources":["pdf-raw/BR2026-0001_brazil_animal_feed_registration.pdf","pdf-raw/intl-2026/BR_circular_21_2025_DIPOA.pdf"],"tokens_estimated":380,"generated_at":"2026-07-21","tip":"Use /api/v1/topics to discover more topics. /api/v1/nutrient for precise single-point queries. /api/v1/cross_compare for 2-3 standard comparisons."}
