Pune: Unauthorized online sales of IFFCO's Nano Fertilizers have been reported, where uncertified sellers are offering these products at lower prices without mandatory government approvals. IFFCO has warned that such illegal sales mislead farmers and authorized sellers, prompting the company to initiate legal action against those involved. Farmers have been advised to purchase fertilizers only from authorized dealers to ensure authenticity and compliance with regulations.
Unauthorized Online Sales Raise Concerns
Under the Central Government’s Fertilizer Control Order, only dealers holding a valid 'O' certificate are allowed to sell fertilizers like Nano Urea and Nano DAP. However, it has been found that some online sellers, without certification or authorization from IFFCO, are acquiring limited stocks from the market and reselling them at inflated prices to attract buyers. IFFCO has clarified that such activities are entirely illegal and warned against engaging in or supporting such transactions.
