The Shennong Award, known as the "Oscar" in Taiwan's agricultural circles, was grandly held at the 31st "National Ten Shennong and Model Farmers Award Ceremony" by the Committee of Agriculture today (30)! Su Zhenchang, president of the Executive Yuan, presented the awards in person, awarded 10 Shennong Award winners certificates, plaques and prizes of 200,000 yuan, and also awarded 12 model farmers election certificates and prizes of 100,000 yuan, affirming the efforts and contributions of farmers to agriculture.

"If there were no peasants, we would not have to eat. We should thank the peasants for eating every day." Su Tseng-chang said that although Taiwan is small in area, it is rich in species and resources. At the same time, hundreds of fruits can be eaten, and they are cheaper than those of neighboring countries. This shows that Taiwan's agriculture is very competitive. He stressed that these are the results of years of research and innovation invested by farmers, improved farms and experts from all sides. Su Tseng-chang promised that the government would give more resources to support research institutions to carry out research and development of agricultural technology, expecting farmers to grow more "Taiwanese flavor" agricultural products.

News dictionary: "Shennong Award" is held once every two years, which needs to be selected by township (town, city, district), county (city) government and the whole country. The top 10 winners selected by the committee members are Shennong winners. Those who have not received the top ten Shennong awards are awarded as model farmers.
