The Council of Agriculture will do its best to protect the safety of the opening of the market and the │ political wrangling and management system will be a greater test for the northern farmers.

The Taipei Fruit and vegetable auction Market, which has been closed for two weeks and three days in a row, finally completed the auction successfully today (8). Today is the first trading day after the second consecutive market closed for three days. The trading volume of vegetables was 2340 metric tons, an increase of 143m tons from 2197 metric tons before the market closed on the 4th. The average price per kilogram was 19.9 yuan, an increase of 1.50 yuan, or 8.2%, from 18.4 yuan before the market closed.

Chen Jizhong, vice chairman of the Council of Agriculture, went to Yunlin yesterday to meet with the agricultural sector and publicly set a target that the opening volume of goods should be less than 2500 metric tons, and the average transaction price should be maintained at more than 18 yuan per kilogram. So at 9: 00 a.m. today (8), as soon as the overall trading figures came out, all the units related to the storm, including the Council of Agriculture, the Taipei City Government Market Department, and the Taiwan Agricultural products Transportation and Marketing Company (Beinong), breathed a sigh of relief.

Wu Yinning, general manager of Beinong, immediately held a press conference at 10: 00 this morning, specifically explaining the opening of the market three days after the market closed, and stressed that the purchase of fruits and vegetables after the Spring Festival this year was the highest in nearly a decade, but the overall average price was still the third highest in a decade. "it's not easy." She repeatedly stressed that the three-day market suspension previously reported by the media was definitely not the only cause of fluctuations in fruits and vegetables. "We have done everything we can, and all our colleagues have done their best to deal with it day and night."

Although it is safe to pass the border, this incident has made the whole of Taiwan find that every move in the Taipei fruit and vegetable auction market has caused social unrest so easily, and the physique and treacherous political relationship of the northern farmers will affect the whole body. If you are not careful, it will cause a confrontation between the central and local governments.

Zhong Qinghui, director general of the Meinong Farmers' Association, said that the Taipei Fruit and vegetable auction Market is the reference basis for the wholesale prices of Taiwan's agricultural products, and the daily auction market is an indicator for the purchase of markets and industries in various producing areas. Chen Shu-en, a professor in the Department of Agricultural Enterprise Management at Pingtung University of Science and Technology, believes that the storm caused by a three-day suspension of the market for two weeks will not only affect the prices of agricultural products, but also make people see that northern farmers are dealing with the problem of shortage. Chen Shu-en stressed: "Agricultural products are a necessity for people's livelihood. As long as there is a slight difference between supply and demand, the price will be much lower. This is very political."

The Taipei Fruit and vegetable Market was closed for too long, the dissatisfaction of the farmers' association spread, and the Council of Agriculture was "unacceptable" to the northern city government.

Beinong Taipei Fruit and vegetable Market will be closed for 6 days within 12 days! Red fruits and vegetables are ripe and there is a big traffic jam, and farmers feel heartache when the price falls.
