🌱 About the Producer / Supplier：
Why don’t organic farmers apply for certification? When the non-certified producers on our platform who use organic fertilizers and organic pesticides and pay attention to soil quality management and fertilizers sell, we often trust the "people" themselves, for example, through on-site inspections and regular inspections between us. Updates on farming conditions actually make consumers more confident.
Compared with large and medium-sized farms that have already applied for certification, they generally lack human resources. Organic certification does have a great effect on some consumers and farms. However, certified organic vegetables and non-certified organic vegetables are two different things. Different markets serve different customers and even prices vary.

Grapefruit is one of the most common hosts for fruit flies such as A. suspensa, which lay their eggs in overripe or spoiled grapefruit. The larvae of these flies then eat the fruit for nourishment until they reach the pupal stage. This parasitism has resulted in millions of dollars in lost economic costs to countries in Central America and southern North America. Therefore, in commercially grown grapefruit, spraying pesticides has become an important means of disease control.
