Overview
PGA-SIGSIF stands for Plataforma de Gestão Agropecuária — Sistema de Gestão da Informação do Serviço de Inspeção Federal (Agricultural Management Platform — Federal Inspection Service Information Management System). 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.
PGA-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.
Platform Functions
PGA-SIGSIF handles:
- Establishment (plant) registration for foreign manufacturers exporting to Brazil
- Product label registration (registro de produto / cadastro de produto)
- User access management — designation of authorized representatives
- Import cargo documentation — verification by VIGIAGRO (Vigilância Agropecuária Internacional / International Agricultural Surveillance)
User Access Structure
The platform uses a hierarchical user access model:
- Acesso Externo (External Access Manager): The primary user linked to a foreign establishment in PGA-SIGSIF. This role has authority to:
- Approve, deny, or revoke access for additional users
- Add, modify, and delete existing product labels
- Control company profile and plant information
- 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.
- The Brazilian importer also has an account in the system, linked to the same establishment.
> "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)
Platform Access Workflow
Foreign manufacturer access to PGA-SIGSIF requires two sequential steps:
- Establishment registration must first be approved and confirmed in the system
- Access request is then submitted by the designated External Access Manager
> "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)
