How to Protect Yourself from Counterfeiting

Our primary recommendation for agricultural producers is to select a reliable supplier!

1. On the VNIS website, you can find a list of official and reliable distributors in the CONTACTS section. These authorized distributors are the ones you should contact to purchase quality seeds.  If you are considering buying seeds from a sub-distributor, it is important to verify which distributor the products originated from. We recommend reaching out to the main distributor directly to confirm that the seeds were sold to that specific sub-distributor. Additionally, always request and ensure you receive a seed certificate to guarantee the quality and authenticity of the seeds.

2. You can also buy original products through the company's regional TRADE REPRESENTATIVES.

3. Register of certificates. You can verify information from the label attached to your seed bag by visiting the "Registers" section on the website of the State Center for Certification and Examination of Agricultural Products. This allows you to check the individual label number against the seed producer's name, the hybrid name, and the seed batch number as stated on the certificate.

4. VNIS bags for the 2023 season and the state standard label.

• The standout characteristic of VNIS's original seed packaging is its top layer of white kraft paper, which is marked by vertical embossed stripes running the entire length of the bag.
• The bags for packing the seeds are made from high-quality three-layer paper, ensuring high strength. This construction allows the seeds to breathe, helping them maintain excellent sowing qualities over an extended period. 

The final recommendation is to be vigilant when accepting goods. Pay attention to the quality of the packaging, the color of the bag, and any inscriptions on it. Ensure that the label and the certificate match and contain information about the seed batch, quality indicators, and the seed treatment agent.
