ASA, agricultural producers are required to register in the Argentine Registry of Agricultural Producers (Registro Nacional Sanitario de Productores Agropecuarios). This registry covers all agricultural, livestock, and forestry activities, with the aim of linking producers to the crops they grow and the area allocated to each product. This measure is intended to ensure proper control and traceability of production activities.

Sale and Transportation of Cattle

Even though the sale of cattle is not specifically regulated at the Argentine federal level, general contract provisions apply. Further, every Argentine province has its own rural code regulating the administrative aspects of the sale of cattle, including traceability measures, taxation and duties.

Argentine law establishes that the transportation of cattle is lawful only when it is done with the respective certificate that specifies the relevant information about the cattle. The required information for the certificate is established by the different provincial regulations, the inter-provinces treaties and the regulations issued by the SENASA.

Environment

The development of our agribusiness activities is regulated by a series of national, provincial, and municipal laws and regulations that promote the protection of the environment.

Section 41 of the Argentine Constitution, as amended in 1994, provides that all Argentine inhabitants have the right to a healthy and balanced environment fit for human development and have the duty to preserve it. Environmental damage shall bring about primarily the obligation to redress it as provided by applicable law. The authorities shall protect this right, the rational use of natural resources, the preservation of the natural and cultural heritage and of biodiversity and shall also provide for environmental information and education. The Argentine Government shall establish minimum standards for environmental protection and Provincial and Municipal Governments shall determine specific standards and issue the applicable regulations. 

On November 6, 2002, the Argentine Congress passed Law No. 25,675. This law regulates the minimum standards for the achievement of a sustainable environment and the preservation and protection of biodiversity and sets environmental policy goals. Moreover, Law No. 25,675 establishes the activities that will be subject to an environmental impact assessment procedure and certain requirements applicable thereto. In addition, the Law sets forth the duties and obligations that will be triggered by any damage to the environment and imposes the obligation to restore it to its former condition or, if that is not technically feasible, to pay a compensation in lieu thereof. The Law also fosters environmental education and provides for certain minimum obligations to be fulfilled by natural and artificial persons.

On November 28, 2007, the Argentine Congress passed a law known as the Forest Law
