Indonesia is the fourth most populated country in the world and is a major producer of agricultural products. Indonesia's economy is integrated into the world economy with great effort by the Government of Indonesia. Today, Indonesia has become one of the world’s largest producers and exporters of crops such as rubber, palm oil, coffee, cocoa and spices.

However, this has also turned into a “business opportunity” for counterfeiters to produce fake agrochemical products such as fake pesticides for quick money with no regard for safety and health concerns. For standard and certified Pesticides, they do not damage the environment and they are sufficiently effective for pest control. But fake pesticides are using unknown combinations of substances and can be potentially harmful to users and the environment.
