Six kinds of tricks to defraud farmers are summarized as follows: 1. Fake (counterfeit) trademarks, such as imitating the "Viking Ship" trademark of Norwegian Hydro Co., Ltd. or using the "Lion Horse" trademark as a pattern to carry out formal and In this type of transformation and counterfeiting, a graphically similar pattern (as shown in the red circle) is designed to confuse the vision of less professional consumers. According to the person in charge of the imported fertilizer company, this form of counterfeiting has been the most popular in recent years and is also one of the easiest ways to deceive consumers. Therefore, farmers must learn to identify the trademarks of genuine imported fertilizers to avoid being deceived. 2. Fake (imitation) country of origin. Nowadays, many companies label their packaging with words such as "Norway", "Belgium", "West Germany", "Norway" (as shown in the red circle), and their intentions are There are suggestions that this fertilizer is produced in Norway, Belgium, and Germany. In fact, none of them are imported compound fertilizers. 3. A company that claims to be headquartered abroad solemnly claimed in the promotional materials it distributed that its headquarters is in Oslo, the capital of Norway, "Norwegian Li Phosphate Chemical Industry Group", and launched the "Hailiwe" brand to most provinces in China. Compound fertilizers include 3×15, 3×16, 3×17 potassium sulfate (nitrate nitrogen) and potassium chloride products. Some companies are nominally headquartered in the United States (such as the two pictures in the lower right corner). The purpose of these propagandas is simply to make consumers regard these products as "imported fertilizers." However, the packaging of imported fertilizers only needs to indicate the import contract number and country of origin, and does not need to indicate "implementation of China's GB15063-2001 standard" and "imported fertilizers". Export Enterprise Code" and other contents. The company's publicity is misleading. Norwegian Hydro Co., Ltd., headquartered in Oslo, the capital of Norway, issued a special statement in this newspaper: "In Norway, Norwegian Hydro Co., Ltd. is the only manufacturer that produces, operates and exports compound fertilizers and calcium nitrate to the Chinese market. There is no The second company.” No objection was raised by Norway × Levy Phosphate Chemical Industry Group, which is intriguing. 4. If a fake (imitation) manufacturer names the manufacturer on the packaging as: "Shenzhen × Hydro Company", "Hong Kong × Hydro Company", "Norway × Hydro Fertilizer Co., Ltd.", etc. (such as red circle (shown as shown), or marked as "Agent of a certain import and export company", etc. These company names marked on the packaging bags have the same feature: they are the same as "Norwegian Hyde", one of the foreign companies with the largest sales volume in the Chinese fertilizer market. "Lu Co., Ltd." have similar names and are easily confused. If you are not careful, you will be fooled. These company names may be random names created by some unscrupulous manufacturers using clever tricks, or they may be legally registered. However, even if they register a company with such a name, although it is legally legal, their practices are inconsistent. Suspected of misleading consumers: Their products are imported products. Therefore, it is morally and publicly reprehensible. 5. Counterfeit foreign technology. For example, some counterfeiters claim on the packaging that they “use Norwegian technology” (as shown in the red circle), “Russian technology is provided”, “Introduction of the latest German technology”, etc. There are various claims. What is "Norwegian technology"? Can anyone give a clear explanation? Norwegian Hydro Co., Ltd. has issued a special statement: "In the Chinese market, Norwegian Hydro Co., Ltd. has not produced compound fertilizers in the form of joint venture, cooperation, authorization, commission or joint venture with any other company or manufacturer." Therefore, these claims Companies using "Norwegian technology" are likely to be scams. According to industry insiders, genuine imported fertilizers generally do not have "such and such country technology", "such and such country technology" and so on on the packaging. 6. Nominal raw material production country or source Currently, some compound fertilizer companies often indicate the name of the raw material country on the packaging (as shown in the red circle), such as "Raw material origin: Norway", "Raw material origin: Russia", "Potassium producing country" : Canada", "Calcium Nitrate (Produced in Norway)", etc. According to regulations, there is no need to indicate the "origin of raw materials". They are simply trying to "skid the ball" and avoid "Canada" or "Norway" to mislead farmers. I thought it was compound fertilizer imported from abroad.

■Link The national standard GB15063-2001 "Compound Fertilizer (Compound Fertilizer)" clearly stipulates that the product name, trademark, nutrient content or grade, net content, manufacturer name, factory address and phone number must be on the packaging bag. For imported fertilizers, the product name, trademark, nutrient content or grade, import contract number, net weight, country of origin, manufacturer name, dealer name, address and phone number. If the above main signs are missing or incomplete, please note that it may be a counterfeit product. (1) Product name: "Compound Fertilizer" or "Compound Fertilizer" The definition of compound fertilizer: refers to fertilizers made by chemical methods with stable properties. The definition of compound fertilizer: refers to the fact that at least two of the three nutrients nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium are physically mixed. (2) Trademark: Use a trademark registered and recognized by the state. (3) Nutrients: Only the total content of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium can be indicated. For example, Norwegian Hydro Potassium Sulfate Compound Fertilizer 15-15-15S has a total nutrient of ≥45% and should be marked in the order of nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium, such as: 15 -15-15. (4) Grade: Must be marked as "potassium sulfate type" or "potassium chloride type". Potassium chloride type compound fertilizers produced by some manufacturers are often not marked as "potassium chloride type", but are marked as "containing chlorine" or "containing chloride". CL" instead. "CL" is the chemical symbol for "chlorine". Note: Some manufacturers use ammonium sulfate and potassium chloride as raw materials to make compound fertilizers, which are labeled as "containing sulfur". Farmers should be reminded here: "Sulfur-containing ≠ potassium sulfate-containing", "Sulfur-containing compound fertilizer ≠ potassium sulfate type" Compound fertilizer”! (5) National inspection mark: Domestic fertilizer: Implementation standard number: GB15063-2001 Imported fertilizer: Contract number Domestic fertilizer: Production license, for example: XK13-139-9179 Imported fertilizer: No production license required (6) In compound fertilizer On the packaging of compound fertilizers, medium and trace elements cannot be declared. Calcium, sulfur, magnesium, zinc, boron, etc. cannot be marked on the packaging bags of compound fertilizers. (7) Do not use exaggerated terms, terms that exclude others or attack others. For example, "×Feiwang", "×Feitao", etc. are not allowed, and products using the words "authorized filling, authorized production" and other words on the packaging are domestically produced and not imported products
