Vegetable prices are low this year, and leafy vegetable producing areas in central and southern China are generally full of grief and are extremely dissatisfied with the auction price. Although the Council of Agriculture has repeatedly said that agricultural prices are stable, the producing area feels that this is not the case. The DPP suffered a major defeat in agricultural counties and cities in the nine-in-one election, damaging the morale of the ruling team, and cross-comparing the voting figures of Taiwan's important leafy vegetable producing areas in 2014 and 2018. Almost completely reversed.

For example, Eryi Township, which has ranked first in the joint transportation and marketing of vegetables in the past three years, was originally the deep green support area of the Democratic Progressive Party in Yunlin County. In 2014, it voted overwhelmingly for the Democratic Progressive Party, with a margin of less than 2% this year. In 2014, the result of the two parties of the KMT in Meinong District of Kaohsiung City was almost the opposite of that in 2018. In 2014, the DPP won 64.6% of the votes, leaving only 37% in 2018.

The top three directors of joint transportation and marketing of vegetables commented on the price of vegetables and the policy of the Council of Agriculture.

Is the low price of food the truth or the deliberate manipulation of the election? Does the turnaround in the election mean a complete negation of the two-year new agricultural policy of the Council of Agriculture? The "upstream and downstream" interviewed six directors of the farmers' association for the joint transportation and marketing of important vegetables and fruits in central and southern China, and expressed their views on the prices of vegetables and the policies of the Council of Agriculture. Chen Jizhong, vice chairman of the Council of Agriculture, also responded to the opinions of the agricultural side. Please click here to read.

The following content is dictated by the director-general of the peasant association in the first person and is divided into two articles. This article is for the views of the top three directors of the peasant association for the joint transportation and marketing of leafy vegetables, and the views of the other three directors of the peasant association, please click here to read.

Li Dayan of Eryi Township Peasant Association: is this what the Council of Agriculture should say about "stabilizing prices"?

The price of vegetables is really poor this year. In terms of auction price, when South Korean Yoo was general manager of Beinong in 105 years, the average price of leafy vegetables from January to the end of November was 30 yuan per kilogram. Last year it fell to 20 yuan, and this year it was only 19 yuan.

The Council of Agriculture all said that the price was stable, but they put the leafy vegetables, fruits, and roots together to fight a confused battle averagely. The Council of Agriculture said that the auction price was more than 30 yuan, but it turned out to be only NT $5 or 6, so the farmers' association didn't eat it for others. For example, it costs only 2 yuan per kilogram to be sent to Beinong during the Spring Festival this year.

Farmers think that the director of Bei Nong should not work for the underwriter, who wants to buy at a low price. Does the auctioneer dare to shout too high?

This year, because of the favorable weather, leafy vegetables grow quickly as long as the weather is good, of course, there is also a difference, but the impact of mainland visitors is also great. Everyone did not come in to eat. It is good to eat two meals a day, and a dish needs one kilogram of vegetables. Just like pineapple cake will also need a lot of pineapples, the general environment is not good, the replacement of the Council of Agriculture is also ineffective.

In the part of food prices, Wu Yinning (former general manager of Beinong) was a non-war crime. in the era of General Manager Han (Han Guoyu), because of floods and good prices, the prices of dishes were good for a long time, and the weather was favorable in Wu Yinning's era, but she could not even answer the question. it makes people feel that their ability is bad enough, but they don't even understand the food when they get 2.5 million. We are the big clients of Beijing Farmers' Association. She has never been here once, and the drop in vegetable prices has not even come to the producing areas to discuss.

The Council of Agriculture talks a lot to consumers, saying that prices should be stabilized after the typhoon. Is that what the Council of Agriculture can say? You (Council of Agriculture) are the big parents of the peasants, how can you say such a thing? As soon as the Council of Agriculture said that frozen vegetables would be released, the price of the vegetables fell. We farmers all say that you don't have to worry about us, prices, or subsidies, so just don't say these things to affect the market.

Second, this is an area supported by the Democratic Progressive Party, and the peasants support the Democratic Progressive Party the most, but this time the peasants rebelled because they thought, "We support you like this, but you still treat us like this," so everyone said that we should teach the DPP a lesson.

If you look at the policy of the Council of Agriculture, it is certain that it also needs to be reviewed.

I very much agree with the Council of Agriculture in promoting "agricultural insurance". If agriculture wants to be advanced, it must take this road, just like life insurance. However, the leafy vegetables on our side cannot be insured because they are short-term crops. Only rice can make them.

As for pushing the cold chain, it is useful for large vegetables such as cabbage and pineapple, but our short-term leafy vegetables are useless, because leafy vegetables come out again in 3 or 40 days, and the amount of frozen vegetables is not compressed to the back.

The cold chain of leafy vegetables can only be useful with the processing system. For example, it is helpful for us to grind vegetables into flour and make rice fruit together with rice. Several of our peasant associations are discussing whether we should raise funds to build large logistics companies and processing plants. If some peasant associations have strong transportation and marketing, they will let them sell fresh food, and we will supply them with supplies.

In fact, in order to solve the fluctuation of vegetable prices, ploughing hoe (subsidizing farmers to destroy surplus vegetables by themselves and reducing market pressure) is the most effective, but it is a pity, and we also need subsidies, and we do not approve of subsidizing the protection of trays, or to solve the problem of access roads. For example, exports are more effective.

As for the promotion of peasant occupational disaster insurance by the Council of Agriculture, everyone kept scolding it. The Council of Agriculture said, "you can do it with an ID card" and asked him to do it! There are no 100 pieces a day, because a lot of documents are needed. In fact, he will review the claim after settling the claim, so there is no need to bother both the front and the back.

Chen Yonghua, Director-General of Xingang Rural Peasant Association: it is very important to do well the auction market and improve the system.

Over the years, there are times when vegetable prices are good and poor, but this year's prices are really bad, mainly because the bad situation has been maintained for too long and is stable and depressed. Although the government is very active in helping to find large enterprises to buy or adopt, this is not very effective, and the most effective way is to plough a hoe.

Among our farmers in Xingang area of Chiayi, the farmers who grow leafy vegetables are the largest, the farming patterns of small farmers are mainly, and the multiple cropping index is very high. It means that, taking a couple as an example, if two people work together to cultivate hollow vegetables or other leafy vegetables of 2 or 3 minutes of land, they can replant them up to 9 or 10 times a year, and they can earn about 1.5 million yuan a year. After deducting seeds, fertilizers, farmers' needs and hired labor, they can still earn about 1 million yuan, which is equivalent to the wages of the couple who have worked hard for a year.

For farmers and production types like Xingang, joint transportation and marketing is very important, because the freight cost of house matching is at least 100 yuan for a piece, no matter 2 kg, 3 kg or 20 kg. However, if the goods are sent to the first or second city of Bei Nong for auction through joint transportation and marketing, the freight for a 30-kilogram piece of vegetables is only more than 40 yuan. Second, when vegetables are sent to the north farmers, farmers do not have to worry about not being able to sell them. North farmers are a big platform, and channels will come here to look for goods. For farmers, they no longer have to bear the sales pressure outside of production, so as long as the prices of north farmers are not too bad, farmers can still accept it. This is the case with agricultural products. It is inevitable that there are good prices and bad prices.

But the price this year is really not good. On the one hand, the income of the small-scale peasant type I just mentioned is less than 1 million at all. Secondly, in terms of the total price, in previous years, our peasant association sent an average of 11000 metric tons to the north farmers for joint transportation and sales, with an income of more than 300 million, but by the end of November this year, it had less than 8, 000 metric tons, with an income of more than 200 million, a difference of more than 40 million. In addition to the good weather, bumper harvest and falling prices, on the other hand, both the government and the north farmers still have room for efforts.

Farmers have automatically reduced production, prices still can not rise, why?

As far as I know, there are many farmers in Xingang. In order to make less compensation, they only grow it six or seven times, and they have to plant it nine or even 10 times as in previous years, and there are no more. In order to cope with the bumper years, farmers will also adjust themselves! To put it simply, the more you plant, the more you compensate, the farmers will automatically reduce their production, but there is no way to make prices rise again. Why?

The relationship between agriculture and the market is really a very difficult job to do. it is very easy for the government not to be human on both sides. if it is afraid of offending consumers to drive down prices, farmers will not get their due remuneration, and farmers must be sacrificed. In case of natural disasters or other climate changes, I think we should keep vegetable prices high for a while. Don't immediately depress vegetable prices to vegetable prices. Think about it. Over the past two years, the government has spent so much resources subsidizing farmers to build facilities and promote facility cultivation. As a result, there is a typhoon and the prices of vegetables grown in facilities are as low as those grown in facilities. How do you want farmers to feel?

Market reconstruction, quality of auctioneers and improvement of ambition are both very important.

It is very important to do a good job in all auction markets and improve the system, otherwise farmers and consumers will suffer. I think the two most important things are the "market reconstruction project" and "the improvement of the quality and ambition of auctioneers".

First of all, the market reconstruction project has been going on for 20 to 30 years. When vegetables from Xingang are sent to Taipei, we often encounter that the market has already begun to auction, and our vegetable trucks are still waiting in line for unloading. There is not enough space and the moving line is chaotic. If there is no improvement, it will be very difficult for the northern farmers to develop properly. Secondly, it is necessary to provide reasonable salaries and appropriate bonuses to auctioneers, encourage auctioneers to auction to different prices according to the quality of different agricultural products, achieve the basic purpose of graded packaging of agricultural products, and at the same time raise the level of auctioning agricultural products for farmers.

In addition, I think it is also necessary to strengthen the number and content of communication between market auctioneers to the place of origin. On the one hand, it is necessary to let auctioneers know more about the aspirations and current situation of the producing area, and on the other hand, farmers should improve their farming methods and raise the standard of graded packaging through the guidance and assistance of auctioneers. In short, the premise that things should be good is that people should do well.

Now that vegetable prices have been in the doldrums for a long time, we grass-roots people hope that the Council of Agriculture can help farmers improve their skills and provide subsidies, so that consumers can buy cheap agricultural products, while farmers can also reduce production costs.

In addition, the education of food farmers is very important to let consumers know that healthy and safe dishes are more expensive to produce. Even if domestic vegetables are more expensive, they are definitely better and healthier than those imported from foreign countries. Now that people have even bought a cup of coffee worth 100 yuan, can they not even afford vegetables worth 20 yuan or 30 yuan per catty? This is an important task for the government to educate the people.

Farmers' associations should help farmers improve their farming methods and find new varieties.

On the other hand, we peasant associations also have a lot of work to do. To help farmers improve their farming methods and help farmers find varieties of leafy vegetables that are suitable for planting in the right land and palatable. We still have another work that we are working hard but not yet mature, which is the attempt to switch from second-stage rice to miscellaneous grains. We have planted black beans and made Xingang local brand "Black Niangma" soy sauce products, but the import of black beans is only 30 yuan per kilogram. For our own black beans, the farmers' association contracts with farmers for 40 yuan per kilogram, plus drying, selection, finishing and other procedures. The cost per kilogram is 60 yuan. If you want to do processing, it is difficult to compete.

Huang Wanchong, director-general of the Turkmen town peasant association: the remnants should be destroyed so that the price will not be affected.

This year, the price of food has been low for a long time, the average unit price is lower than before, garlic is also lower than in the past, the general environment is not good, farmers, industry and commerce are not good. Bei Nong must review the auction market system. In the past, General Han (Han Guoyu), if there were any remnants, they would all be destroyed as rubbish, which would not affect the auction price the next day. After Boss Wu (Wu Yinning) came to power, there would be no remnants. So the auctioneer should keep the price down and bid it out quickly, and the underwriter would push it down and enter the market again.

In the past, Han always came down to the producing area several times, and he would bring the auctioneer down to communicate, and the farmers were more impressed. Boss Wu did not come to the place of origin to communicate. This year, the output of peanuts affected by the flood is poor, but now the market price is also on the low side. The market merchants shouted as high as 50 yuan last year, but only 30 yuan this year. The government has public power, and imports and exports cannot be controlled by farmers. If the government does not help farmers, there will be a problem of votes.

Looking at the problem after the election 02 "Director-General of the Peasants' Association: the planned production of bulk vegetables should be adopted, and the Council of Agriculture should not only make decisions on Nanhai Road.

Post-election Review "Lin Congxian, chairman of the Council of Agriculture, stepped down, and Chen Jizhong temporarily replaced: strengthen the adjustment of production and marketing, review the attitude of administration, and make farmers feel more.
