In a joint action between the Secretariat of Productive Development and the Directorates of Inspections and Bromatology, reporting to the Secretariat of Government, and the National Service for Agri-Food Health and Quality (SENASA), a training session was held on the importance of avoiding the commercialization of citrus fruits with green leaves.
The initiative is part of the preventive actions that seek to protect local citrus production and preserve Concordia as a department free of HLB, one of the most serious diseases affecting citrus fruits worldwide.
The session was aimed at municipal inspectors and aimed to strengthen technical capabilities for the early detection of sanitary and phytosanitary issues in businesses dedicated to the commercialization of fruits and vegetables, promoting preventive actions that contribute to guaranteeing food quality and protecting consumer health.
During the training, developed within the framework of the Infrastructure and Development Plan towards the Bicentennial, inspection criteria, identification of possible irregularities, and procedures for action in situations requiring the intervention of competent bodies were addressed, consolidating the joint work between the national and municipal government.
The Secretary of Productive Development, Sebastián Arístide, pointed out that “the coordination between the different municipal areas and national agencies such as SENASA is key to consolidating efficient public policies. We are committed to training because we understand that knowledge and education are fundamental tools to boost development, strengthen controls, and provide better services to the community.”
Likewise, Arístide remarked that “these actions are aligned with the objectives of the Infrastructure and Development Plan towards the Bicentennial, a strategy that seeks to strengthen institutional capacities, support the productive sector, and improve the quality of life of the residents of Concordia.”
The Director of Inspections, Sebastián Franco, highlighted that “the permanent training of our inspectors is a fundamental tool to optimize controls and strengthen prevention. These instances allow us to improve detection capacity and accompany merchants in compliance with current regulations, always with the objective of protecting the health of the residents.”
The training was led by agronomist engineer Pablo Flores, supervisor of Plant Protection of SENASA for the Entre Ríos Regional, who provided technical tools and specific knowledge related to the detection of pests, diseases, and other sanitary issues that can affect the production, commercialization, and quality of fruits and vegetables, thus strengthening the control and prevention capabilities of municipal teams.
From the municipality, they highlighted that these types of initiatives allow for strengthening controls in fruit and vegetable shops, promoting good commercialization practices, and advancing towards a safer, more orderly city committed to public health.
