In order to boost the domestic "eating" atmosphere, the Council of Agriculture will hold a "cooking party" domestic rice carnival on February 16 and 17 in the front north square of the presidential palace. Chen Tianshou, vice chairman of the Council of Agriculture, said that in 1970, the average annual rice consumption per person was about 90 kg, but now it is down to 45 kg. He hopes that through this activity, Taiwan's agricultural environment, food culture and health knowledge will be introduced to the public, thus boosting the domestic rice consumption atmosphere.

At the carnival site, there are DIY experiences, rice food products exhibition and "rice life" food and agricultural education exhibition, nutritionists and chefs are invited to break the myth of "fear of fat not eating", and how to cook delicious rice with household electric cooker. It is both interesting and informative, and the public is welcome to participate actively.

In addition, it will also provide consumers with indicators of rice purchase, including the nutritional value of rice and how to identify the "Taiwan Rice Mark".
