A fertilizer that is not registered cannot be sold.
If the selling season is missed, the product cannot be sold until the next one. VAN runs Pakistani registration for its own catalogue, 20 of 23 brands hold a live PSQCA licence, and now runs that work for partners as a service in its own right.
VAN already holds the licences listed below.

From VAN’s trademark and PSQCA master record, July 2026. Product names in this table are the names held on the licences themselves, which is not in every case the name the product is sold under. V-Phosphate is registered as V-Phosphate 10-44-0 and marketed as V. Ammonium Phosphate. 20 of the 23 brands hold a live PSQCA manufacturing licence. The other 3 each have a reason: V-Mag Essential carries a conformance report, V-Compost is registered with the Soil Fertility Research Institute, and SOP is a traded commodity to which no VAN licence applies.
Why VAN holds 2 sets.
When the licences for the Vital line were running late, VAN filed a second set under the earlier V- names rather than wait and lose a season. VAN holds both sets. V-Urea carries CM/L-2564/2022 and V-Potash carries CM/L-2565/2022 alongside the 2025 Vital licences the products trade under today.
VAN files the fallback before it is needed, so that a delay at the authority does not stop the product being sold. Partner registrations are handled the same way.
4 steps. VAN controls the first 2.
| Step | What happens |
|---|---|
| Standard selection | Which PS standard the product falls under, and whether the intended analysis fits inside it. Getting this wrong is the most expensive mistake in the process. |
| Testing | Analysis against the standard, with VAN’s own laboratory data and certificates supporting the file. |
| Dossier and filing | Preparation and filing with PSQCA, including the manufacturing evidence that an importer or a trader cannot supply. |
| Licence | The certificate lands and the product can legally be sold anywhere in Pakistan. |
VAN controls the first 2 steps and completes them inside 3 weeks. The last 2 sit with the regulator; 1 to 3 months is typical, and no manufacturer can promise more precisely than that.
Every VAN product carries a complete technical file, and a partner product is built to the same standard from the start: a 1-page technical data sheet, a 16-section GHS safety data sheet with a per-product hazard classification rather than a blanket template, and a certificate of analysis issued per production lot from VAN’s own QC laboratory with specification, result and method for every assay.
