REGULATION FOR OILSEED CROPS
The Regulation for Oilseed Crops is currently being drafted, which aims to establish rules and procedures for the production, transportation, storage, processing, import and export of oilseeds, in order to structure the value chain for these crops to satisfy national and international demand.
