Overview
- Industry groups are pressing producers to enroll in VISEC CARNE before June to keep cattle eligible for EU-linked supply chains.
- The platform, led by producer and exporter organizations, validates farm origin and land use with RENSPA land polygons rather than issuing private certifications.
- IPCVA and exporters will cover the geospatial polygon analysis only through June, after which the cost falls on producers who register later.
- The EU’s deforestation-free law (Regulation 1115/2023) takes effect on December 30, 2026 and requires proof that beef is not tied to deforestation with traceability back to each animal’s birth.
- Producers who skip enrollment risk broken traceability, fewer buyers, and lower prices, while some farm groups call the tool voluntary and voice concerns about extra bureaucracy and unclear official guidance.
