Recently, the Internet went viral with a photo of a truckload of bananas dumped on the ground, accompanied by a picture saying,"News of banana disposal in Meinong, Qishan, Kaohsiung dare not report, everything is news blocked." In response, Chen Jizhong, vice chairman of the Agricultural Committee, held an emergency press conference on the 7th to clarify that this was false news. The photo was taken eleven years ago by Public Television "Our Island" and was not taken this year. Emphasizing that this has affected banana prices and farmers 'incomes will be further reported.

Chen said that there is no such dumping of bananas in the local area at present. This is a false news spread by people with intentions, and the spread of false news may affect the price of bananas in the producing area, which will have a negative impact on the trading market. It has an offsetting effect with the current measures taken by the Council of Agriculture to pull back banana prices. Therefore, it is especially explained here.

The "Chinese Kuomintang @ Nantou County Party Department" and "Wenqing Work Association" also posted the false photo on Facebook. In response, Chen Jizhong criticized the relevant party units for spreading false rumors in this way, causing banana prices to be damaged."Do you want to apologize to banana farmers?" If you do not want to apologize, you will be dealt with in accordance with relevant laws and regulations.
