Chen Jizhong, chairman of the Council of Agriculture: the purchase price of pineapple is 8 yuan per kilogram.

Affected by the little warm winter rain, the price of Fengli in Chiayi County is not beautiful. Chen Jizhong, chairman of the Council of Agriculture, went south to have a discussion with farmers on March 18 and ruled that from the afternoon of the 18th, the purchase price of inferior products per kilogram was guaranteed to be 8 yuan (4.8 yuan per jin), and the fruit growers applauded. Chairman Chen Jizhong said that by increasing export volume and sending inferior products to processing factories to avoid entering the market, he guaranteed that pineapple prices would stabilize by the end of March.

Affected by climatic factors and early harvest this year, the acidity of pineapples harvested in the early days after February in Chiayi County was slightly higher, affecting the purchase price. in late February, the county government paid attention to the early harvest of pineapples and was in close contact with the central government. in addition to continuously monitoring the production and marketing market, on February 25, in conjunction with the processing policy of the Agriculture and Food Administration, the processing measures of pineapples were launched, and the processing capacity of the processing plant was nearly 1000 metric tons.

In order to prevent secondary products from driving down market prices, County Mayor Weng Zhangliang and legislator Chen Mingwen invited Chairman Chen Jizhong to make a special trip south to the Shanglin vegetable and fruit producers' cooperative in Dalin Town to have a discussion with farmers. Huang Zhenyu, director of the Chiayi County Peasant Association, and a number of directors of township peasant associations were also present to care about the measures taken by the Council of Agriculture to regulate production and marketing.

Chairman Chen Jizhong announced at the forum that starting from the afternoon of the 18th, the purchase price of inferior products was 8 yuan per kilogram, with a multi-pronged approach, and he guaranteed that the price would be stable by the end of March. Legislator Chen Mingwen also said that he believes that as long as inferior products do not flow into the market and affect the price of the whole market, coupled with the impulse of export and the increase in the purchase price of inferior products, the overall price will certainly come up again, and everyone must have confidence.
