§  Promote vigilance with farmers and end consumers

§  Improved enforcement for compliance by the government

§  Take a proactive approach in detection and combating the issue by law enforcement

§  Improved purchase processes by farmers (authorized dealer purchases only)

IN ORDER TO DO THIS

While individual stakeholders can make a significant impact on protecting their own farmers and end-consumers, collaboration and government involvement are key requirements for combating fakes.

We need
