Argentina's Executive Decree No. 697/2026 reorganizes the National Food Control System and modifies the allocation of responsibilities for food registration, sanitary control and inspection. The reform concentrates operational food registration, control and inspection functions, including food import controls, within the National Service for Agrifood Health and Quality (SENASA), with the objective of reducing institutional overlaps, simplifying procedures and making use of SENASA's nationwide inspection infrastructure, laboratories and technical personnel. The Decree modifies provisions governing the National Food Control System, expands recognition by equivalence of certifications covering food additives, processing aids, ingredients and other inputs used in food manufacturing when originating in countries with recognized food-control systems or evaluated in accordance with Codex Alimentarius standards, and establishes simplified import procedures. It also strengthens the Single Database of food establishments and products, to be administered by SENASA and updated by competent sanitary authorities, and modifies procedures related to updating the Argentine Food Code. The reform further seeks to facilitate food trade by introducing post-entry controls for certain imported foods packaged for direct retail sale and by simplifying export certification while maintaining applicable sanitary and food-safety requirements. The Ministry of Health retains sanitary-policy leadership and participation in updating the Argentine Food Code, while SENASA assumes broader operational inspection responsibilities.

Sustainable artisanal fisheries and bio-businesses for food security with market access in the Peru–Colombia Border Integration Zone is a binational technical cooperation initiative in the Putumayo River basin aimed at strengthening sustainable artisanal fishing and food security. It promotes cross-border governance through a binational roundtable, diagnostics and monitoring campaigns focused on water quality and fish species of commercial interest. It supports fisheries value-chain bio-businesses through awareness and technical training, financial education, technical assistance, formulation of business models and non-reimbursable equipment support, plus binational fairs and strategic commercial alliances. It also includes community food security plans, training in good food practices, field schools and collective solutions for access to safe water such as collection, filtration and storage. The initiative is implemented in Peru and Colombia over 24 months, financed by the Colombia–Peru Border Integration Zone Development Fund, with a required start in September 2025.

This technical cooperation aims to strengthen the institutional capacities of the Secretary of Agriculture and Rural Development (SADER) through the development and implementation of strategic tools and specialized instruments that increase the effectiveness of public policies oriented towards sectoral competitiveness and sustainability of the Mexican agricultural and fishing sector. The TC will support studies, methodologies and specialized consultancies that will strengthen the registry and program roster system, the agricultural and rural statistics system, including support in remote sensing methodologies and direct marketing models between small and medium producers. It will also finance the development of a Master Plan for Sustainable Development of Fishing, Aquaculture and Mariculture in the Peninsula and Gulf of California. The project seeks to address the structural challenges of the Mexican agricultural sector related to limited institutional capacities, fragmented information systems and barriers to the inclusion of small and medium producers. The initiative contributes directly to strengthening national food security through more effective and sustainable public policies.

IDB technical cooperation aimed at designing a national system that generates and disseminates relevant and timely information for the design, monitoring, and evaluation of competitiveness and sustainability policies for Salvadoran coffee growing. The project seeks to strengthen the coffee sector's information systems by developing a statistical system comprised of a coffee grower registry, a georeferenced coffee census, and complementary surveys that generate dynamic data with national coverage. It includes the design of mechanisms for capturing and analyzing information from national and international markets, as well as traceability systems using blockchain methodology. The project addresses the problem of the lack of specialized information that limits the design and implementation of effective policies for a sector that represents 22% of the country's forests and has historically been a national economic driver. The initiative supports the execution of loan ES-L1135 "Strengthening the Climate Resilience of Coffee Forests in El Salvador."
