The company whose bags were found to contain fake fertiliser sold to farmers through National Cereal and Produce Board (NCPB) stores was on Tuesday put to task by MPs over the scandal.

Supreme Packaging LLP Company appeared before the National Assembly Committee on Agriculture and Livestock where it was hard-pressed to explain how bags bearing its logo and artwork ended up containing fake fertiliser that made its way to farmers across the country.
