Servicio Agrícola y Ganadero (SAG)

It is the official agency of the State of Chile, responsible for supporting the development of agriculture, forests and livestock, through the protection and improvement of the health of animals and plants.

To prevent the introduction from abroad of diseases or pests that may affect animals or plants and seriously damage agriculture, the phyto and zoo sanitary Border Controls have been established . These controls work in the places of entry to the country, either by land, air or sea. There they inspect the products, means of transport, luggage of passengers, crew and commercial charges of silvoagropecuarios products (fruits, milk, cheese, etc) to verify that they comply with the sanitary regulations established.

When exporting animal or vegetable products, the SAG participates in its sanitary certification, which is internationally recognized for having been elaborated based on norms and standards that regulate world trade. To achieve this recognition agreements are signed with other countries.

The SAG also performs actions to conserve and improve renewable natural resources, which affect agricultural, livestock and forestry production, taking care to control the contamination of irrigation waters, conserve wild flora and fauna and improve the soil resource, in order to to prevent erosion and maintain its productivity.

Another function of the SAG is to control that food and medicines manufactured for animals are safe and do not cause alterations in their health, and that the chemical and biological products used in the control of plant pests comply with their manufacturing standards. Very important to achieve this achievement, has been the advantage of having an excellent sanitary condition of vegetables and animals of economic importance, which is considered a valuable national heritage.

The Agricultural and Livestock Service is present in the national territory with: 15 regional offices, 66 sector offices, 96 phyto and zoo health border controls and 11 diagnostic laboratories with advanced analysis technology.
