Reasons

Assalamualaikum w.b.t we meet again today in another new post. Last time we hav discussed about the Production effects. Today, we will talk about the reasons and that is - main reasons as to why our industry farmers uses chemical pesticides and chemical fertilizers in their production. Basically, we knew in general that farmers uses these chemicals to maintain in improve their crop production right? There's more to that actually.

Saves money, and productivity is higher

The first reason of why farmers uses chemical pesticides and chemical fertilzers over the organic pesticides and organic fertilizers is because that they are more cheap.For an additional information, usage of chemical pesticides and chemical fertilizers have saved farmers their living and production costs around half of their income. This greatly helps in improving their productivity, but alas, the quality of the crop productions are dropped. This might not seem important, but for your information, quality of vegetables nowadays are very important to us. What do i mean by this? well, since now is the age where humans health are at the top most priority above other else,they seek some alternatives to medical attention. They will seek vegetables, as it produces the most healthiest fibre and vitamins into the body. Okay, now, some farmers just do not care for this. All they could think of is money.

This is now a problem. As vegetables are marketed, usually, vegetables from all over farms are mixed together. This, resulted in the mixture of non-chemical used vegetables and chemically used vegetables. Some farmers or even the manufacturers did not seem to care of the hazardous effect of the vegetables to the consumer and even to the other farmers as they only had in mind this: maintain this business and gain more money rather than try to improve the quality and satisfy consumer usage. Also, as they irresponsibly provides their consumer with these chemically bathed vegetables, they have make a bad name for the other farmers itself. Consumer will more likely distrust farmers and this will cause problem as the consumers will run away from the product and thus creating a gap between the buyer and seller which eventually leads to the downfall of the farmers itself.

Not all can afford for chemical pesticides and chemical fertilizers

Last but not least. Although what i have stated are mostly the negative side of the farmers thermselves, there are some who are most likely had to use it ; as they are desperate. Okay, for example the crop production in Africa. Since they are a backwater country with unstable financial, they cannot afford for a large quantity of  organic pesticides and organic fertilizers. Also, the land that they use for the crop production are more susceptible to chemical pesticides and chemical fertilizers which increases the production of their crop two times better than using organic pesticides and organic fertilizers.

Okay that is all for me. Next time, I will conclude on this blog about this issue. Untill next time, toodles!
