Farmers and Online Shopping: Lessons From the CCPA’s Cyclosinone Herbicide Action

New Delhi: Farmers increasingly use digital platforms to compare and buy agricultural products. The CCPA’s action over Cyclosinone Herbicide shows why product verification remains important when buying regulated chemicals online.

Do not rely only on marketplace descriptions

A product listing may contain marketing claims, but buyers should also look for the actual active ingredient, manufacturer or seller information, regulatory details and directions for use.

Check before using a chemical

Farmers should verify whether the product is authorised for the intended use and should follow official instructions. If essential information is missing from a listing, buyers should seek clarification before purchasing or using the product.

In the CCPA proceedings, the Agriculture Department raised concerns about the regulatory status and disclosure of the product marketed as Cyclosinone Herbicide. The CCPA subsequently ordered the platforms to discontinue the relevant sale and advertising and conduct self-audits.
