The current nationwide spring plowing and preparation are gradually underway, which is also the peak period for the purchase and use of agricultural materials such as seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides. On March 19th, seven departments including the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the State Administration for Market Regulation, and the Ministry of Public Security jointly deployed the work of cracking down on counterfeit agricultural materials for spring plowing and preparation, further purifying and regulating the agricultural material market, and better safeguarding the rights and interests of farmers. Vice Minister of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, Maierdan Mugaiti, stated that a rapid investigation and rectification of spring plowing agricultural materials will be carried out, covering all inspection subjects, closely focusing on key areas such as agricultural material distribution centers in urban-rural areas, and inspecting the qualifications of production and operation, the establishment of procurement inspection systems, and incomplete product purchase and sales records. Any unqualified products found will be released to the public as soon as possible. It is reported that in recent years, the overall quality of agricultural materials has been guaranteed, but problems with fertilizer quality and the phenomenon of fake and inferior seeds harming farmers still exist. This year, the focus of cracking down on fake seeds in agricultural materials is on counterfeiting and infringement, pesticides are on substandard ingredients, illegal addition, and sale of prohibited drugs, fertilizers are on insufficient nutrients and non-standard labels, and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs and other departments will focus on key varieties and important agricultural seasons, and continue to carry out special rectification.
