The Ministry of Agriculture has formulated steps for farmers to establish whether the fertilizers they are buying are genuine.
They also urged them to buy from the National Cereals and Produce Board depots or registered and licensed suppliers only.
The steps are as follows;
1. Check the Seal: Look for the official NCPB seal on your fertilizer. If you suspect something off, avoid it.
2. Verify the Code: Use the SMS product code to confirm the legitimacy of the fertilizer.
3. Buy Certified: Ensure you purchase from accredited dealers. If you are not sure, verify first.
If you suspect counterfeit products, please reach out to the Ministry’s hotline at 0800 724 891.
