The Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) Information Management Portal is a project in collaboration with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Regional Integration & International Trade, funded by the European Union under the SADC Trade Related Facility. The aim of the portal is to facilitate trade operators with all the SPS related information that they may require in order to comply with the regulatory obligations in relation to trade of plant and animal products.

The portal provides accurate and easily accessible information related to food safety, animal health, plant health and quality trade standards, regulations amongst others and will be an important and comprehensive database.
