Regulations on the purchase of fertilizers have changed since February, as several EU regulations on the marketing and use of explosives precursors came into force, the National Chamber of Agriculture (NAK) wrote on its website.

The decree makes sales subject to the acquisition of a customer declaration and also provides for the recording and periodic storage of transactions.
Farmers’ attention was drawn to the fact that the change in legislation also changed the regulations on the purchase of certain fertilizers (such as ammonium nitrate).

In practice, this means that, on the one hand, when buying fertilizers, the buyer has to complete and submit a declaration to the seller, and on the other hand, he must prove that he is engaged in agricultural activity (primary producer, sole proprietor, farming organization). In the absence of these, the farmer cannot be served in trade, he cannot buy or own a certain composition of fertilizers and fertilizer raw materials, the Chamber of Agriculture wrote. (MTI)
