Senave s González highlighted the importance of proper management of crops
Japan s Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare have announced that controls for the presence of aflatoxins in chia imported from Paraguay were to become less strict, in light of the improvement in the quality and safety now duly recorded.
Paraguay s National Service of Quality and Plant and Seed Health (Senave) announced Thursday that a note from the Japanese authorities had been received through the Foreign Ministry on May 31, regarding the reduction of controls applied to the shipments of chia.
With the new measure, Japan will stop inspecting 100 per cent of product loads from Paraguay, and will only apply controls to 30 per cent of them, facilitating trade, Paraguayan authorities explained.
