Frequently asked questions
Question 01. Do I have to apply for license for each category?
Answer:
You would want to sell products from the following categories:
- Cattle food.
- Horticultural inputs.
- Agricultural inputs.
The best thing is that you have to only attach self declaration certificate for not selling that particular product, e.g., cattle feed.
Question 02: Can I sell products of any company after getting a license?
Answer: You can’t sell any product. For example, you can only sell a product, if you have a principal’s certificate of that product. You can’t sell seeds of Syngenta without its Principal’s Certificate.
Question 03. Why is this necessary?
Answer: There are many agricultural, horticultural, and insecticide shops in India. The owners of many shops don’t have license, and it is illigal.
