To act as an agent and sell imported fertilizers, first of all, you have to find reliable sources of goods.

Analyzing the market is crucial. Research the local soil conditions and the types of crops planted, and selectively choose the imported fertilizers to act as an agent for according to the specific situation. For example, in areas with acidic soil, acting as an agent for fertilizers that adjust the soil pH is more likely to meet the market demand.

Establishing demonstration fields can intuitively show the effects of fertilizers. Select a few representative farmlands, use imported fertilizers for planting demonstrations, invite the surrounding farmers to visit, and let the actual effects speak for themselves, which is more convincing than simple publicity.
