Importancia del certificado fitosanitario en origen para evitar rechazos de banano en contenedores por plagas.

Abstract

In the field of international trade there is a diversity of certifications that validate processes or training of any kind, but in the case of goods that are subject to phytosanitary regulations, these must have a phytosanitary certificate. Under this premise, the objective of this research is to determine the importance of the phytosanitary certificate in the banana export process to avoid the rejection of containers due to pest problems. To do so, a descriptive methodology was used, based on documentary review, content analysis, interpretation and summary of secondary information. Among the results of the research we can highlight that there are different types of certifications between voluntary and mandatory depending on the country of destination. The presentation of the phytosanitary certificate is essential in countries where it is a requirement for customs clearance, while in countries where it is not required as such, it represents an added value and imposes competitiveness with other markets.
