In recent years, in the spring ploughing and autumn sowing season, the agricultural materials "flickering group" wandered in some rural areas, and they adopted a brainwashing and fraud model to sell fake and inferior agricultural materials, and the peasant masses in many places suffered economic losses and were difficult to defend their rights. What is the routine of the agricultural "flickering group"? How can the peasant masses avoid being deceived? Through in-depth interviews at the grassroots level, the reporter figured out the deceptive methods of the agricultural "flickering group" and uncovered the "painted skin" of the scammers.
"Is the quality of your pesticide acceptable? Last year, I was fooled into buying 12 tons of low-quality fertilizer by the agricultural material 'fooling group', and I almost missed the harvest of one season. On May 6, 57-year-old Lao Qiu, a large grain grower in Baimei Village, Ouli Town, Xinyu City, Jiangxi Province, stood by his rice field and asked Lao Zhang, the person in charge of an agricultural material management store in Xinyu City, over and over again. It wasn't until the other party said that "you can try it first and pay later" that Lao Qiu put his mind at ease and continued to consult how many pesticides are needed for closed weeding in paddy fields. Lao Qiu has planted more than 1,000 acres of paddy fields, and is an "old master" who has been plowing the land for more than 30 years, but when he ploughed in the spring of 2023, he was deceived by fake experts into buying 12 tons of inferior fertilizer.
Caught in the same scam as Lao Qiu, there was also 36-year-old Da Li, a villager from Lugang Village, Ouli Town, who was cheated of more than 20,000 yuan. "The 'expert' said it wildly, and I bought several tons of 'compound polycontrol fertilizer' at once. But the fertilizer efficiency is poor and the effect is short, and I re-fertilize to keep the harvest of the year. Da Li was still on fire when he mentioned this, "Re-purchase fertilizer and count labor costs, but it is a loss of tens of thousands of yuan!" ”
After the case was solved, Lao Qiu and Da Li realized that the scam they encountered was a typical agricultural material "flickering group", which is a common criminal form of selling fake and inferior agricultural materials in recent years. Criminal gangs take advantage of the psychology of the masses to love low-priced products, and use technical training, gifts, free lunches, and so on as gimmicks to convene farmers to listen to "lectures", participate in "on-site meetings" and "observation meetings", and sell fake and inferior agricultural materials after defrauding farmers of their trust.
In order to purify the agricultural materials market and safeguard the rights and interests of farmers, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the Ministry of Public Security and other seven departments continue to promote the special management of agricultural materials counterfeiting, and carry out special rectification actions against problems such as "flickering groups". In April this year, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs deployed the "Green Sword to Protect Food Security" law enforcement action, and included the "flickering group" of agricultural materials into the village into the scope of major special law enforcement. In accordance with the requirements, agricultural and rural departments at all levels to strengthen the urban-rural interface, agricultural materials "flickering group" cases and other key areas of law enforcement inspection and inspection, the discovery of fake and inferior agricultural materials on the source, chasing the flow, a check to the end, dotted off the chain, suspected of constituting a crime resolutely transferred in accordance with the law.
The reporter went deep into Xinyu City, Yichun City, Jiangxi Province and Xiangyuan County, Shanxi Province and other places, interviewed farmers, agricultural comprehensive administrative law enforcement personnel, public security organs and procuratorial organs of the case-handling personnel, to find out the routine of the agricultural "flickering group", uncover the "painted skin" of the scammers, record the joint law enforcement and joint handling of cases by relevant departments, and make every effort to crack down on the actions and results of the agricultural "flickering group".
What are the tricks?
——Lectures, meals, discounts, and the signing of agricultural material purchase and sales "contracts"
"Those 'experts' are doing lectures and experiments, and the salespeople not only invite us to dinner, but also give us discounts, and finally sign a contract, which looks quite formal." When many farmers are fooled into buying fake and inferior agricultural materials, they still feel that they have "picked up a bargain".
The reporter learned from the food and drug environmental investigation detachment of the Xinyu City Public Security Bureau that the agricultural "flickering group" encountered by Lao Qiu and Da Li committed crimes in the same way in more than 10 cities in three provinces across the country, including Xinyu City, Yichun City, Jiangxi Province, Jieshou City, Anhui Province, and Zhumadian City, Henan Province, with an amount of more than 2,000 yuan. The food and drug environmental investigation detachment of the Xinyu Municipal Public Security Bureau named the case as "3.10 sales of fake and shoddy products", which is one of the five typical cases of agricultural materials sold by the Ministry of Public Security, which is still in the trial stage.
According to Jiang Tao, captain of the fourth brigade of the food and drug environmental investigation detachment of the Xinyu Municipal Public Security Bureau, in March 2023, "a staff member of an agricultural technology extension center" walked into the villages of Xinyu City with the nodes of local farmers buying agricultural materials, took the initiative to contact farmers, invited them to listen to lectures for free, promised to pick up and drop off, and included lunch, and said that a new type of fertilizer would be recommended on the spot, saying that the fertilizer "is not only of good quality, but also sold directly by the manufacturer, and there is no middleman to make the difference".
The training venue is a hotel in Xinyu City, and there are about 40 or 50 participants in each training. At the training site, a program produced by a central-level media was played, mainly explaining the difference between planting crops in the north and south. Subsequently, an "expert" who claimed to have graduated from an agricultural college in Shandong came to the stage to explain what kind of fertilizer is better to use locally. The "experts" talked about the efficacy of trace elements, trying to make the participants realize that the "compound polycontrol fertilizer" they recommended has a miraculous effect.
The "experts" also conducted several experiments on the spot. He put some white powders containing different trace elements in the mineral water bottles, some of which can make the turbid water clear, and some can make the water jelly-like. "Experts" interpret that the change of water proves that fertilizers containing trace elements are not only easy to dissolve, but also have significant effects on sterilization and water retention.
Lao Qiu, who attended the meeting that day, attached great importance to the "water retention experiment" of trace elements, "After putting that trace element in the water, it will become jelly-like, which is really god." If fertilizer has such a water-retaining effect, it is too important for rice. ”
The last part is lunch. A table of ten people, with meat and vegetarian meals, the participants while eating, the salesman shouted in circles around the table: "Buy two packs and get one free, the original price is more than 5,000 yuan a ton of fertilizer, and today the goods are only more than 3,000 yuan a ton, which is cost-effective!" Nine times out of ten, the participants couldn't resist the temptation to pay for it, and Lao Qiu and Da Li also followed suit to buy a batch of fertilizer.
"People's processes look formal, not only signed a contract with us, the contract is stamped with the manufacturer's official seal, and everyone who buys fertilizer also gets a red book of a member card of the Agricultural Technology Extension Center, and then buy fertilizer in the future to enjoy discounts." Farmers who bought fertilizer told reporters.
Individual farmers vaguely felt that something was wrong afterwards, although these fertilizers were beautifully packaged, and they were highlighted with large characters containing a variety of trace elements, but the bag only said that the nitrogen content was not less than 18%, and the content of phosphorus and potassium was not stated, and compared with other brands of compound fertilizers, the nitrogen content was not high. Some farmers carefully looked at the membership card of the Agricultural Technology Extension Center and found that the certificate did not have an official seal, but only a mobile phone number. Lao Qiu once called the mobile phone number for verification, "At that time, I was able to dial, and the other party said that the soil contains enough nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, and only trace elements are needed to activate it, and if the nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium are added too much, it is not conducive to crop growth." ”
However, it didn't take long for Lao Qiu to regret it. He not only bought 12 tons of "compound poly control fertilizer" recommended by "experts", but also bought more than 20 tons of previously used conventional compound fertilizer in the agricultural material store, and he applied the two fertilizers to different plots. "In just 10 days, the difference in the efficacy of the two fertilizers became apparent. In the field where 'compound poly-control fertilizer' is applied, the seedlings have yellow leaves and poor growth, and the seedlings in the field where the conventional compound fertilizer is applied are much better! Lao Qiu recalled. Da Li's experience is similar to Lao Qiu's, he is glad that he didn't buy much, otherwise he would have lost a lot.
Lai Yifan, a police officer of the Food and Drug Environmental Investigation Detachment of the Xinyu Public Security Bureau, said that in the "3.10 sales of fake and shoddy products", scams are interlocking. First of all, the agricultural "flickering group" tried its best to create an "official background" with a blind eye. "A certain agricultural technology extension center" is an organization fabricated by Xin, the leader of the gang, and the mobile phone number on the membership card is Xin's mobile phone number, and all calls made by the masses are answered by him himself. Second, use fake experts and fake experiments to create an authoritative image. The public security organs later found that the so-called "experts" only had a primary school education, and the white powder used in the experiment was a chemical, not an ingredient in fertilizer. Thirdly, pretend to be a regular seller by signing a contract. In fact, the purchase and sale contract is full of loopholes, the first sentence is "according to the "New Contract Law of the People's Republic of China" the two parties agree to sign the following contract ......", but the mainland does not have this law, and the official seal on the contract does not match the name of the actual manufacturer of fertilizer, so it has no legal effect at all.
Of course, the deception of the agricultural "flickering group" is not completely consistent, in addition to meetings, meals, false propaganda and other conventional means, each criminal gang also has its own "characteristics".
On May 6, the reporter came to Shangzhuang Street, Fengcheng City, Jiangxi Province, and saw an abandoned warehouse with locked doors and windows next to a remote village cemetery, with seals on the windows of the warehouse. This is the place where Li and others sold fake seeds through the agricultural materials "flickering group", and it was here that they bagged the fake seeds. Different from the general characteristics of the agricultural materials "flickering group" in other regions, the members of the gang are basically the "old acquaintances" of the victims, and they do not sell "expert" gimmicks, but sell fake and inferior agricultural materials through "killing ripeness".
On May 6, the agricultural comprehensive administrative law enforcement officers of Yichun City and Fengcheng City, Jiangxi Province visited the warehouse where the Fengcheng Agricultural Materials "Flickering Group" criminal gang had used to package fake seeds.

Cai Liang, captain of the Fengcheng Agricultural Comprehensive Administrative Law Enforcement Brigade, introduced that the father of the gang's main culprit, Li, had partnered with others to run a seed company, and Li helped his father take care of the company's business, so he got acquainted with many local growers and agricultural material dealers. After the death of his father, Li began to engage in the illegal business of making and selling fake seeds since 2020, putting the conventional rice he produced on a number of hybrid rice seed packaging bags such as "Xiangyou 69" and "Youxiang Youxiangsi", and selling them to surrounding growers and agricultural material dealers, and creating a WeChat group, pulling more than 200 local growers into the group, inviting them to participate in the "on-site observation meeting", and fooling many farmers into buying fake seeds.
A rice planting cooperative in Fengcheng City purchased 30 packs of "Tianyou 953" hybrid rice seeds from Li, and the batch of seeds was later identified as fake seeds. The person in charge of the cooperative said: "I have known Li and his father for a long time, because they are acquaintances, so when Li came to sell seeds, I trusted him, but I didn't expect to be cheated by him." ”
"Because the single-crop rice was sown late, we recovered most of the problematic seeds from farmers and dealers after the incident, and did not delay the old cousins in planting the land." Chen Zhibin, head of the seed industry law enforcement inspection section of the Yichun Agricultural Comprehensive Administrative Law Enforcement Detachment, recalled. In September 2023, the Fengcheng City People's Court sentenced Li to three years in prison and a fine of 100,000 yuan for the crime of selling fake and shoddy products.
Chai, Duan, Xie and others have been active in Xiangyuan County, Shanxi Province. They advertised inferior fertilizer as high-quality water-soluble compound fertilizer and sold it at a high price, and fabricated and forged a video of the main leaders of a certain ministry saying that the fertilizer was good, so as to deceive the trust of farmers. After investigation, Chai, Duan, Xie and others actually sold more than 90 tons of inferior fertilizer. Recently, the Xiangyuan County People's Court pronounced a verdict on this case, Chai, Duan and others were sentenced to three years and two months and four years and one month respectively for the crime of selling fake and shoddy products, and Xie was sentenced to a suspended sentence for actively making restitution and pleading guilty.
Who are the people in the "group"?
-- "Experts", suppliers, and distributors with a certain "professional" background, division of labor and cooperation, gang crime
The case-handling police of the Food and Drug Environmental Investigation Detachment of the Xinyu City Public Security Bureau showed reporters a structure diagram showing the division of labor and cooperation among the gangs in the "3.10 Sales of Fake and Shoddy Products Case". The case involved a number of gangs, not only Xin and other agricultural materials "flickering group", but also Mao and Sun who customized and packaged inferior fertilizers, Dong (female) and others who produced inferior fertilizers, as well as Li and Huang, who only made the difference. The division of labor and cooperation of these criminal gangs constitute a complete criminal chain of agricultural materials "flickering group".
In the first step, Mr. and Mrs. Mao and Mr. Sun entrusted the fertilizer production plant operated by Mr. Dong (female) to produce inferior fertilizer by way of order, and the formula of the fertilizer was provided by Mr. Mao and Mr. Sun. At the same time, Mao and Sun customized a batch of packaging bags with the product name of "compound polycontrol fertilizer" in the packaging bag manufacturer, and hired people to bag the bulk inferior fertilizer.
In the second step, Mao and Sun sold the bagged inferior fertilizer to the middleman Li. Li sold the beautifully packaged inferior fertilizer to Huang, and also instructed him how to escape the blow and how to fool consumers in order to sell at a high price.
In the third step, after Huang purchased inferior fertilizer, he not only set up a "flickering group" of agricultural materials to sell, but also supplied to Xin and other gangs.
In the fourth step, Xin set up a "flickering group" to sell agricultural materials, and the inferior fertilizer was finally sold to farmers at the price of high-quality compound fertilizer.
According to the police, many of the criminals involved in the "3.10 sale of fake and shoddy products" case have a certain amount of "professional" knowledge, and some people have been engaged in agricultural materials for a long time. Some criminals have even been criminally punished, but after being released from prison, they return to their old jobs, and many of them are repeat offenders.
In Xin's criminal gang, Niu, a "specialist" who claimed to have graduated from an agricultural college in Shandong, was a key figure in the scam. Don't look at Niu Mou is just a "lecturer" in the gang, but he has put a lot of effort into pretending to be an "expert". According to the police investigation, Niu has been engaged in the hosting industry and once presided over the opening ceremony of the store for Xin. When Xin set up an agricultural "flickering group", he thought of Niu's eloquence and invited him to come over to "pick up the beam". Although Niu only has a primary school education, he has participated in agricultural technology training organized by local relevant departments in his hometown, knows a little about planting, and has also taken photos at the training site. In order to create an image of an "expert", Niu pretended to show the photos taken at the training site as his own lectures, and he also carefully collected some videos to impart planting knowledge.
Niu played the role of an "expert" vividly, not only on stage to explain, but also to answer farmers' questions on the spot, never showed flaws, in the agricultural "flickering group" is quite famous, and even other gangs to "dig the foot of the wall". "Those experiments were all Niu Mou's creativity, and the props used were also brought by him." Xin's confession. In this regard, Niu flatly denied it, insisting that the experiments were all taught by Xin. But both confessed: "The experiment has nothing to do with the quality of the fertilizer, it is a lie." ”
In addition, the reporter combed through a number of cases and found that many agricultural materials "flickering group" have agricultural materials sales experience personnel involved.
Li, a member of the agricultural materials "flickering group" who was investigated and punished in Yichun City, has assisted his father in managing the seed company for many years, mastered a large number of customer resources, and is well versed in seed sales; His accomplice Deng has also been engaged in the local agricultural materials distribution business for many years, and is very familiar with the precautions for the use and packaging of agricultural materials, so he easily found a "mouth" to circumvent supervision.
In Xiangyuan County, a member of the agricultural materials "flickering group" Chai, a self-proclaimed professional, he studied at a university in Shanxi, and after graduation, he served as a sales manager of agricultural products in ecological companies in Shandong Province and Jilin Province, and worked for six or seven years. In October 2021, Chai began to sell fertilizers by himself. His accomplice Xie has been doing fertilizer sales for many years, and there are many "peers" in WeChat groups and circle of friends, and full-time "lecturers" and other sales teams can be summoned at any time.
Why do practitioners with experience in agricultural material sales embark on the crooked road of "flickering group"? High profits are the root cause.
Usually, the cost of a ton of inferior fertilizer does not exceed 1,000 yuan, and the price in the hands of farmers is generally more than 3,000 yuan per ton after various gangs have been "added" layer by layer.
When the food and drug environmental investigation detachment of the Xinyu Municipal Public Security Bureau investigated the "3.10 sales of fake and shoddy products", it was found that the cost of producing a ton of inferior fertilizer by Mao and Sun was only a few hundred yuan, and the ex-factory price was about 1,000 yuan. After Li and Huang changed hands, the price of Xin's purchase was 1,350 yuan per ton. The price that Xin and others sold to farmers was about 3,500 yuan per ton, and the profit per bag of fertilizer was about 100 yuan. In Xin's gang, the commission of the "expert" Niu is relatively high. For every bag of fertilizer sold by the "flickering group" at the event site, Niu had to get a commission of 7 yuan, the sales staff received a commission of 20 yuan, and the personnel responsible for loading the car received a commission of 0.5 yuan.

In the case of Chai, Duan, and Xie who were investigated and dealt with in Xiangyuan County, the ex-factory price of the inferior fertilizer sold by the gang was only 1,100 yuan per ton. After Chai and Duan bought it, they sold it to Xie on credit at a price of 1,700 yuan per ton, and Xie sold it to local farmers at a price of 3,200 yuan per ton through various tricks. Chai and Duan made a profit of more than 150,000 yuan in just over 10 days, and Xie made a profit of more than 120,000 yuan.
In Yichun City, Li, who sold conventional rice as high-quality hybrid rice seeds in the form of agricultural materials "flickering group", sold conventional rice with an average price of 2~3 yuan per catty according to the price of seeds at a price of twenty or thirty yuan, and the value increased by nearly 10 times.
How to avoid being fooled?
——Don't be greedy for cheap, don't believe in traveling merchants, keep your eyes open to acquaintances, and buy through regular channels
The harm of such crimes as the "flickering group" of agricultural materials is extremely great.
According to the test report provided by the Xinyu City Agricultural Comprehensive Administrative Law Enforcement Detachment, the nitrogen content of the inferior fertilizer sold by Xin's gang is about 19%, and it does not contain phosphorus and potassium; Moreover, the sulfur content on the fertilizer packaging bag is not less than 6%, but the test results show that it is only 0.2%, and the content of fertilizer active ingredients is seriously insufficient. "After testing, this batch of fertilizers is a substandard product. If the farmer believes their nonsense and applies the batch of fertilizer instead of top dressing, it will have a big impact on the harvest of the year. Hu Zhihong, a member of the Xinyu City Agricultural Comprehensive Administrative Law Enforcement Detachment, said.
Wei Dongniao, procurator of the Xiangyuan County People's Procuratorate, said that in the case of Chai, Duan, and Xie selling fake and shoddy products, the inferior fertilizer sold by Chai, Duan, and Xie only contained a small amount of nitrogen and sulfur, which not only could not meet the growth needs of crops, but also exceeded the chloride ion standard by 25 times, which would lead to land acidification, damage soil structure, reduce soil fertility, and cause environmental pollution after use.
It is difficult to combat such cases. According to reports, most of the agricultural materials "flickering group" belong to the traveling businessmen, they go to the village to visit the household, and change a place with a shot. Offenders tend to have strong anti-detection capabilities, and their products do not enter the formal market, reducing the risk of detection. In order to evade the crackdown, the training location of the agricultural materials "flickering group" will be selected in a remote place far away from the county, and the preaching and sales process will also intentionally avoid the inspection of relevant departments, resulting in a strong concealment of such criminal acts.
In order to intensify the crackdown on the "flickering group" of agricultural materials, the comprehensive agricultural administrative law enforcement departments and public security organs in many places have established a normalized linkage working mechanism. For example, when Yichun City cracked down on Li and others' agricultural "flickering group", in the case investigation stage, Jiangxi Province, Yichun City, Fengcheng City, the three-level agricultural comprehensive administrative law enforcement team and the public security organs held a case seminar to discuss the direction of the case investigation and the requirements for transferring evidence. Xu Junming, captain of the Food and Drug Knowledge Crime Investigation Brigade of the Forest Branch of the Fengcheng Public Security Bureau, said that the local agricultural comprehensive administrative law enforcement personnel will share with the public security organs once they find the key clues of the agricultural "flickering group" during their daily inspections.
The comprehensive agricultural administrative law enforcement department also gives full play to the role of village "two committees" cadres, rural party members, township grid members, etc. as outposts of supervision and law enforcement, and promotes the early detection and investigation of illegal acts.
Xinyu City Agricultural Comprehensive Administrative Law Enforcement Detachment in order to be able to timely insight into the dynamics of the agricultural materials "flickering group", long-term cooperation with the township agricultural sales point operators, instructed them to report in a timely manner once they found the clues of the agricultural "flickering group". "The operators of agricultural materials sales points have a competitive relationship with the agricultural materials 'flickering group', so they are very sensitive to such criminals entering the village. Once a stranger summons the villagers to train them for free and transport inferior agricultural materials to the villagers, the operators of these agricultural materials sales points will notify us in time. According to the person in charge of the detachment, the clues to the "3.10 case of selling fake and shoddy products" were provided by them to the Xinyu police.
The case of Chai, Duan, and Xie in Xiangyuan County is also the result of multi-departmental cooperation. In April 2022, the Xiangyuan County People's Procuratorate, the County Agriculture and Rural Bureau, the County Market Supervision and Administration Bureau and other departments carried out a joint law enforcement inspection on the fight against counterfeiting of agricultural materials, and found that more than 30 farmers in Houbao Town of the county had purchased unqualified "water-soluble compound fertilizer". After testing, the fertilizer is a substandard product. The Xiangyuan County People's Procuratorate issued a "Letter of Recommendation to Transfer Suspected Criminal Cases" to the County Agriculture and Rural Bureau and the County Market Supervision and Administration Bureau at the same time, and the two administrative organs jointly transferred the case to the public security organs, and Chai, Duan, and Xie were finally arrested.

Which groups of people are most likely to be targeted by the agricultural "flickering group"? According to the summary of the case-handling personnel, the main target of the agricultural "flickering group" is the elderly farmers, most of whom are around 60 years old, and the proportion of young people in their thirties and forties is relatively low. This is because older farmers have less knowledge of fraud prevention and lack the ability to distinguish between fake and shoddy products.
Law enforcement officials in many places said that the agricultural "flickering group" mainly seized the victim's "cheap" and "soft-mouthed" psychology. The price of fake and shoddy fertilizer is cheaper than that of genuine fertilizer, and the agricultural material "flickering group" also uses discounts as bait, such as "buy 5 get 1 free" and other marketing methods, or "factory direct sales" and "internal goods" as gimmicks to let farmers "take the bait". Many victims said that after eating the free lunch, they always felt unhappy if they didn't buy any fertilizer at all. In fact, a table meal is only worth about 300 yuan, and the meal standard for each person is about 30 yuan, and the cost paid by the scammer is far lower than the benefit. In addition, some farmers are more likely to relax their vigilance and fall into the trap of "old acquaintances" for the "flickering group" of agricultural materials with the characteristics of "killing ripeness".
"Agricultural materials 'flickering group' means of crime are hidden, farmers may have to go through a period of time to detect their poor quality after using fake and inferior agricultural materials, so the aftermath is not the best way to resist fake and inferior agricultural materials, the most fundamental solution is to improve the awareness of farmers to identify fake and fake in advance." Yi Jianjun, deputy secretary of the comprehensive law enforcement detachment of the Yichun Agriculture and Rural Bureau, said.
The reporter learned that in accordance with the requirements of the "Green Sword to Protect Food Security" law enforcement action, local agricultural and rural departments have strengthened publicity and warnings for vulnerable targets such as small farmers and large planting and breeding households who are older and have little ability to distinguish between fake and fake, so as to improve their risk identification ability and awareness of rights protection in accordance with the law.
"The most direct way to prevent deception is not to believe in the so-called 'factory direct sales' and 'internal goods' and other unreliable propaganda, and not to covet 'free lunch' and other small bargains. Insist on purchasing products from formal channels such as agricultural stores with business licenses, and carefully check whether the goods are genuine. Law enforcement officers reminded that when buying agricultural materials, we must carefully check the relevant qualifications on the packaging, choose products with clear handwriting, complete labeling and complete elements, and check the production information of agricultural materials by scanning and verifying the two-dimensional code. At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to requesting and retaining relevant vouchers such as bills and samples for the purchase of agricultural materials.
During the interview, the reporter saw a thick stack of anti-counterfeiting leaflets in the back seat of the law enforcement vehicle of the Yichun Agricultural Comprehensive Administrative Law Enforcement Detachment. "When we go to the agricultural market and other places to carry out law enforcement inspections, we will send these propaganda single and send it down, focusing on the old tables to tell the old tables about the characteristics of the agricultural materials 'flickering group' in previous years, modus operandi, etc., to remind everyone to buy agricultural products through formal channels, in order to prevent being deceived." Law enforcement officials said that since the beginning of this year, the city has issued more than 60,000 copies of various agriculture-related publicity materials, and received more than 200 consultations related to the safety of agricultural materials from the masses.
The reporter saw that the rice seedlings in the Laoqiu rice field were already in a state of three leaves and one heart, and more than a dozen workers were busy. "So far this year, I haven't encountered the agricultural materials 'flickering group', and I haven't even received a sales call." Lao Qiu told reporters, "Because I have suffered a loss, I now buy big brand agricultural materials produced by regular manufacturers from physical stores, and I am more vigilant than anything else." ”
