It defines seed categories, authorization requirements for multiplication, field inspections, and producer obligations to maintain traceability, varietal purity, and crop homogeneity. Minimum isolation distances are established to prevent genetic contamination, and the maximum permitted THC content is regulated. Furthermore, procedures for harvesting, selection, labeling, and post-harvest handling of the seeds are detailed, including controls to prevent unauthorized dispersion. The Agriculture and Livestock Service (Servicio Agrícola y Ganadero, SAG) is the authority responsible for oversight, authorization, and certification, ensuring that the seeds comply with current national and international standards.
