If someone is selling you fertilizer like this, do not buy it!

Often heard that some farmer friends complained to duped to buy  agriculture products , every year be duped, but the cheating way is different. According to the analysis of various situations, there are several traps that make them fall into frequently:

“Traveling merchants” poach farmers

Some illegal vendors, under the banner of “the highest technology products”, went from village to village.
“One shot for a place,” selling their fertilizer, such as corn, wheat, vegetables and so on, and using the time before (or after) work of the agricultural law enforcement agencies, a group of three or five people in a car, in the village for a while, “cheat” and sell goods for money.Look at the decline of momentum, quickly clean up the stall and leave .Such “traveling merchants”, in fact, as long as the farmer friends carefully observed, it is not difficult to see that one of the “greasy”.

Low prices to fool farmers

Some illegal traders “sell dog meat by hanging sheep’s heads” and selling the same breed at “low prices”, including fertilizers and seeds. But “there is no such thing as a free lunch,” and they sell for money or “less than a penny,” or “less than enough,” or “fake ones .” After the farmer friend buys, certain be cheated.

“Expert” hoaxes

In recent years, in some densely populated large villages, often see some “experts” lectures, under the name of “so-and-so academy of agricultural sciences”, “so-and-so institute” experts, with agricultural capital field promotion, marketing. And the agricultural products they promote do not necessarily bring good benefits to the farmers’ friends. There are also some “experts” who only speak “one family’s words” and have no authority. Farmer friend buys agricultural products in this kind of occasion, must not buy more,you can buy less for trial .

 “famous brand” goes to the countryside

In recent years, some departments, for the sake of profits, often irresponsibly sell the “agricultural products appraisal award CARDS”, pull the tiger skin to be the banner, and some “agricultural fair” arbitrarily hold the paid appraisal activities, as long as the manufacturer hand in a certain amount of “cash”, can be rated as the “famous brand” of different awards. Only these “famous brands” are only in the “exhibition rooms” of various manufacturers, and are not really recognized by the farmers. Farmer friend is bought when must not be by a few dealer “trick”.

 “fake advertising” fraud

At present, the fake agricultural advertising industry is full of media, so it is hard to tell the true from the false. Farmer friend is in choose and buy when they must not recognize only “advertisement”, even if see it on TV every day, also it cannot believe completely. No matter how aggressively the advertising is done, the cost of publicity is added to the product. The price is extremely high.

“village cadre” promotion

Some agricultural machine manufacturer USES the village cadre’s authority, to the promote fertilizer, seed or pesticide in the village, it is them to give village cadre “profit” actually, borrow village cadre’s influence to sell the product, these product quality is not guaranteed, they earned money and walked away. Remind my farmer friend, face “free lunch” want vigilance, do not covet small cheap. Farmer friend buys agricultural products, you must ask for formal business license and supply bill.
At the same time, we hope relevant functional departments will earnestly fulfill their duties and crack down on illegal activities.
