The ban of 27 agrochemicals in India for domestic use and exports at such a challenging times is unfortunate. Seriously feel the babus and Government dont have any hold on ground level situation. Many of these products are even approved in developed countries like US and EU
Many products are green triangle products. It will increase lot of burden on domestic farmers as replacement products will cost manifold. India is one of the largest exporters of products like Mancozeb (UPL, Indofil, Corromandel), 2, 4 D (Atul), Chlorpyriphos etc globally
These products generate huge foreign exchange income for the country with estimates of USD 800 million to USD 1 billion. Many of these products are used for 3 - 4 decades. Seems the agriculture associations and pesticides association were not even consulted for it.
This is at a time when there is some shift happening in agrochemical (technical) manufacturing from China to India. So much for #AtmaNirbharBharatAbhiyaan #MakeinIndia @narendramodi @PMOIndia @nsitharamanoffc
