Farmers in the state suffer significant losses due to the sale of bogus fertilizers and seeds. This situation often leads to a double-sowing crisis, resulting in both financial and time losses for the farmers.
In response to complaints from Dhule district about counterfeit fertilisers, the agriculture department swiftly acted and suspended the license of Greenfield Agrichem Industries, a company involved in selling fertilisers. State Agriculture Minister Dhananjay Munde announced this development on Twitter.
“Following complaints from Dhule district regarding bogus fertilisers, the Agriculture Department has taken immediate action and suspended the fertilizer sales license of Greenfield Agrichem Industries. The Agriculture Department will not tolerate the sale of bogus fertilizers and seeds. Congratulations to the officials involved in this operation, farmers are requested to WhatsApp on 9822446655 if they have complaints about bogus fertilizer and seeds,” he tweeted in Marathi.
