Panel Urges Stronger Penalties to Stop Fake Pesticides

Imagine farmers use fake medicine for their plants, called pesticides, which can be bad for the crops.

A group of people in the government wants to stop this.

They noticed that many fake pesticides are being sold, and the rules aren't tough enough to stop it.

They want to make the rules stricter, like increasing the number of people who check these pesticides and making sure the tests are better.

Also, they want to punish the people who sell fake pesticides more severely to prevent them from doing it again.

They are worried because even though they catch people selling fake pesticides, they don't always get punished.
