Organic Agricultural Product Certification Expands in Panama.

The Ministry of Agricultural Development (MIDA), through the National Directorate of Plant Health and the Competent Authority in matters of Organic Agriculture, granted the company Mayacert Latin Corp. SA, based in Colombia, the certificate of authorization to carry out control and certification activities of organic agricultural products in Panama.

With this authorization, the company is enabled to perform its functions in the national territory, in accordance with the provisions and requirements established by current regulations, providing evaluation, control and certification services to companies and producers interested in obtaining recognition of their products under organic production standards.

This accreditation represents an opportunity to strengthen the development of organic agriculture in Panama, by expanding the certification alternatives available to the agricultural sector and promoting production practices that contribute to sustainability, environmental protection and the competitiveness of the national supply.

Furthermore, companies and producers who obtain their organic certification through Mayacer Latin Corp. SA will have the support they need to expand their products into international markets, provided they meet the requirements, standards, and regulations of the destination countries. This represents an advantage for those seeking to broaden their business opportunities and position Panamanian organic production beyond our borders.

MIDA, through the National Directorate of Plant Health and the Competent Organic Agricultural Authority, reaffirms its commitment to strengthening the national system of control and certification of organic products, promoting transparency, trust and compliance with the regulations governing this activity established by Law 8 of January 24, 2022, for the benefit of producers, companies and consumers.

With these actions, Panama continues to advance in strengthening its organic agricultural sector, promoting new opportunities for growth, marketing and access to increasingly demanding markets.
