Soybean producers in Mato Grosso have until February 15th to complete the mandatory registration of their production units with the State Institute for Agricultural Defense (Indea). This requirement applies to the entire cultivated area in the state and is considered strategic for sanitary monitoring, agricultural planning, and transparency of crop information.

Registration should preferably be done online, via Plant Health Defense System (Sisdev). In addition to the digital channel, soybean farmers can seek in-person assistance at one of the 141 Indea units spread throughout the state or resort to support offered by regional units via WhatsApp, an alternative adopted to broaden the reach of the service.
At the time of registration, the producer needs to provide data such as total planted area, geographic location, cultivar used, and other technical information about the crop. Failure to comply with the legal deadline subjects the soybean farmer to a fine of 10 Fiscal Standard Units (UPFs), equivalent to R$ 2,543.60, considering the value of the UPF in January.
In the 2024/2025 harvest, Indea registered 16,319 soybean production units, belonging to 8,993 producers, totaling more than 11.3 million hectares cultivated in the State. This data is publicly accessible and can be consulted by citizens on the institute's website via the link [link missing in original text]. Planting Areas by Crop Season.

Approximately seven million hectares have been declared by 4,697 soybean farmers. Indea expects this number to increase significantly in the coming weeks as the deadline approaches.
Annual registration is considered a key tool for phytosanitary control of soybeans in Mato Grosso, the country's largest producer of the grain, in addition to supporting public policies, agricultural defense actions, and analyses of the dynamics of agricultural production in the state.
