IFFCO slams misleading propaganda about company products following raids in Rajasthan on some fertiliser units, says no IFFCO fertilizer found

IFFCO urges trust in its products amid misleading claims after Kishangarh raids revealed no IFFCO fertilizers.

"You are requested to keep your faith in IFFCO products. - IFFCO Statement"

New Delhi, June 3

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.

As a farmer from Haryana, I've used IFFCO products for years. They've never let me down. This seems like a deliberate attempt to malign a trusted Indian brand. Hope the truth comes out soon. 🙏

The timing is suspicious - right before kharif season. Farmers are already struggling with input costs. Such rumors can destroy confidence in genuine products. Government should take strict action against those spreading misinformation.

While I trust IFFCO, the minister shouldn't have gone on raids without proper verification. This creates unnecessary panic. Agriculture department should have tested samples first before making public statements.

My father has been using Sagarika granules for his mango orchard in UP. Yield has improved significantly. These rumors must be stopped - farmers can't afford to lose money on fake news! #StandWithIFFCO

Social media needs to be more responsible. One viral message can ruin years of hard work by companies like IFFCO that serve our annadatas. Maybe time for stricter IT laws against agri-misinformation?

IFFCO should consider legal action against those spreading false info. As consumers, we need transparency - maybe they can publish quality test reports regularly to build more trust? Just a suggestion.
