IFFCO, a leading fertiliser player, has said that "misleading propaganda" is being made on social media, newspapers and some media channels about the products of the company following raids conducted at Kishangarh in Rajasthan on some fertilizer units and "no IFFCO fertilizer has been found at the mentioned places".
Terming the propaganda as "absolutely wrong", IFFCO, a farmers' cooperative, urged people to keep faith in IFFCO products and reject false propaganda being made. "World's biggest number one fertiliser cooperative IFFCO states that of late, following raids conducted in Kishangarh, Rajasthan on some fertilizer units, misleading propaganda is being made through social media, newspapers and various media channels, about the products of IFFCO which is absolutely wrong," a release said. "No IFFCO fertilizer has been found at the mentioned places. Hence, you are requested to keep your faith in IFFCO products and reject false propaganda being made against IFFCO products' quality," it added. The release said that in the aforesaid action, 'Sagarika Granule' - a Biostimulant manufactured by IFFCO's joint venture Aquagri was found at some places. "Sagarika granule is very popular amongst the farmers, and there is no irregularity in its production as it is being produced based on the technology provided by the central research institute i.e. CSIR-CSMCRI and confirms as per the guidelines of Government of India. Dolomite, Gypsum, Seaweed powder, bentonite etc. found at these places are used in granulation of 'Sagarika Granule' and there is nothing wrong in it," the release added. The company urged people to avoid "misleading propaganda" and "use IFFCO's quality fertilizers and biostimulants". Media reports said that Rajasthan Agriculture Minister Kirorilal Meena had led a raid on fake fertiliser units in Kishangarh last month. (ANI)
