Agriculture & agribusiness marketing needs an approval process as well as creative work. An unchecked claim or a review reply that exposes private information can undermine trust. This is a working list of questions to check before publication.
The rules and guidelines to check against
- Insecticides Act, 1968 and labelling rules
- Fertiliser (Control) Order
- Seeds Act and seed-quality claims
- ASCI guidelines on yield and performance claims
These are pointers for review, not legal advice. Confirm the specifics with a qualified adviser.
What a trustworthy agriculture & agribusiness brand visibly shows
- Registration and licence details
- Trial data with conditions
- Local-language product information
- Dealer locator and support contact
Common questions to review
Can agri-input companies claim higher yields in ads?
Only with substantiation from trials, stated with the conditions under which results were achieved. Pesticide, fertiliser and seed products also have specific labelling and claim rules.
How do agribusinesses build trust with farmers?
Consistent, honest information in the local language, demonstrations and field results, reliable dealers and a real support contact. Trust spreads through dealers and neighbours more than ads.
A quick pre-publication check
- Yield and performance claims are backed by trials and stated with conditions.
- Dealers get the same product information and pricing basis as your field team.
- Farmers can understand your product in their own language.
