Agricultural Products
What are Agricultural Products?
Agro input products are essential resources used in agricultural production to enhance crop growth, protect plants from pests and diseases, and optimize yield and quality. These inputs encompass a wide range of substances, including fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, seeds and agricultural machinery. Agro input products play a crucial role in modern farming practices, enabling farmers to meet the growing demand for food, feed, fiber, and biofuel while minimizing environmental impact and maximizing resource efficiency.
Counterfeiting in Agro Input Products.
Counterfeiting in agro products involves fake seeds, which may be adulterated, mislabeled or entirely different from the advertised variety. Farmers who unwittingly purchase counterfeit seeds may experience reduced yields, crop failure or susceptibility to pests and diseases, leading to financial losses and diminished livelihoods. Similarly, counterfeit fertilizers and pesticides contain substandard or harmful ingredients, compromising soil fertility, crop health and environmental safety.
