At present, the spring ploughing is preparing for the ploughing season, and the agricultural market is booming. However, driven by excessive profits, some lawbreakers take risks and wantonly manufacture and sell fake chemical fertilizers, which seriously threaten food security.

A visit to Dingyuan, Huaiyuan and Nanling, three major grainproducing counties in Anhui Province, found more than 20 cases of substandard chemical fertilizers in the past two years.

Reporter investigation found that some mobile fertilizer merchants simply directly into the countryside, the group "cheat" people.

Wang Kongyi, a villager, paid 8,000 yuan for 95 bags of the compound microbial fertilizer produced by the company, each costing about 85 yuan. Compared with the 150 yuan or so a bag of regular fertilizer in the market, Wang thinks he got a bargain.

Market regulatory authorities identified that Wang Kongyi bought compound microbial fertilizer packaging did not mark the production date and shelf life, belong to the label logo is not qualified products. The market supervision department ordered the enterprise to carry out rectification and give the complainant a refund.

Because the raw material transportation, production, processing, distribution and sales of fake chemical fertilizers are very hidden, if there is no clue, the supervision department is difficult to find.

At present, the old farmers have become the key crowd of illegal sellers of fake fertilizer. Improving the screening ability of the vast number of farmers, guiding them to actively find problems, reflect problems, will be helpful to crack down on illegal behavior.
