GSFC’s new pesticide products to be a milestone in crop protection and enhancing farmers’ returns
Gujarat State Fertilizers & Chemicals Limited (GSFC) has formally launched seven new crop protection chemical formulations under its established Sardar brand. This strategic expansion marks the company's deeper entry into the high-margin agrochemicals domestic market, helping diversify its portfolio beyond bulk commodity fertilizers.
These include Sardar Sathi, Sardar Raftaar, Sardar Tufani Fipro, Sardar Jandaar, Sardar Aadhar, Sardar G-Gold and Sardar Senapati. All these products will be made available to farmers through Kisan Suvidha Kendras and GSFC’s authorised distribution network.
The launch event was inaugurated by Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendrabhai Patel. Agriculture Minister Jitu Vaghani, Energy Minister Rushikesh Patel, Minister of State Kaushik Vekariya and Minister of State for Agriculture Ramesh Katara were present on the occasion. This high-profile endorsement underscores the state government's support for GSFC's diversification into the crop protection segment, complementing its existing fertilizer business.
Patel said that these seven powerful crop protection solutions reflect Gujarat’s journey towards 'Viksit Krushi' to 'Viksit Gujarat'. He commended GSFC’s role in advancing technology-driven, efficient and sustainable agriculture. The newly introduced products cover various crop protection needs, including herbicides and insecticides.
The Chief Minister highlighted that these seven GSFC initiatives will help farmers improve the quality of their produce, add value, support processing and gain access to global markets. He said that the seven new products under GSFC’s well-known ‘Sardar’ brand will provide farmers with effective options for crop protection.
He said that GSFC is developing a wide range of agricultural products, including balanced nutrients, bio-fertilisers and other inputs, to ensure farmers get quality crop protection solutions on time and in a reliable manner.
Chief Minister expressed his commitment to advancing the nation’s development through prosperous agriculture by promoting innovation, technology and higher farmers’ incomes through effective crop protection. He congratulated the GSFC team of scientists and researchers on the launch of these new initiatives.
On the occasion, Agriculture Minister Jitu Vaghani stated that these new products, part of GSFC’s development journey that began in 1962, will prove to be a milestone in protecting farmers’ crops and making their hard work fruitful. He said that special care has been taken to make these products available to farmers at reasonable prices while maintaining the quality of crops and soil.
GSFC stated that these products will be distributed to farmers through its existing network, including Kisan Suvidha Kendras (KSK). This integration allows the company to offer a comprehensive range of agricultural inputs, from fertilizers to crop protection, leveraging its established supply chain.
