How to protect yourself from counterfeiting

Our main recommendation for an agricultural producer is to choose a supplier!

1. On the VNIS website, in the CONTACTS section, there is a list of official and reliable distributors who are authorized to sell our seeds. It is these distributors that you should contact in order to purchase quality products. When purchasing seeds from a sub-distributor, it is important to find out from which distributor the product was purchased. We recommend contacting the distributor directly to confirm that the seeds were sold to this particular sub-distributor. Be sure to ask for and receive a seed certificate to guarantee the quality and originality of the seed.

2. Also, you can purchase original products through regional TRADE REPRESENTATIVES of the company.

3. Register of certificates. On the website of the State Center for Certification and Examination of Agricultural Products in the “Registers” section, you can check the data from the label attached to the bag with the data contained in the register. Namely, the correspondence of the individual label number with the name of the seed producer, the name of the hybrid and the seed batch number according to the certificate.

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

• The main feature of the packaging of original seeds by VNIS is the top layer of white kraft paper, which is distinguished by vertical embossed stripes along the entire length of the bag.
• The bag in which the seed is packed is made of high-quality three-layer paper, has high strength and allows the seeds to breathe and maintain excellent sowing qualities for a long time.

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