Adherence packaging also boosts patient Rx persistence

An estimated 5% to 10%, or about $4 billion of the global pesticide market is taken up by counterfeit products.

“The incidence of global counterfeiting and illegal traffic in plant protection products has been growing substantially over the past years, especially with the increase in generic manufacturing capability, computerized manufacturing processes, computerized graphics for labeling and the relaxation in global and regional trade laws,” says Utz Klages, Bayer CropScience spokesperson for crop protection and environmental science.
Farmers using counterfeit and other illegal crop protection products containing poor quality or illegal active substances could affect not only themselves because of potential health and risk of damage to their crop but also to the environment and consumer health. In addition, an increase in counterfeiting has in turn created growth in organized crime as a lack of enforcement and strengthening of current laws has yet to be addressed.
