Chiayi County launched measures to regulate the production and marketing of tilapia, and accepted the registration and acquisition from now on.

Recently, the pool-side trading prices of tilapia are affected by the increase in the number of clear pond fish in winter and the concentrated listing competition of mullet shells, resulting in short-term market pressure and weak prices. Therefore, the Fisheries Department has launched a measure to adjust the production and marketing of tilapia, purchasing more than 600 grams of fish at 25 yuan per catty (26 yuan for those with production and marketing experience), so as to relieve the pressure on supply from the place of origin. Chiayi County has accepted registration and acquisition of fishermen since December 19.

In response to the weak price of tilapia, the Fisheries Department has launched measures to adjust the production and marketing of tilapia. It is estimated that 4800 metric tons of fish of more than 600g to the north of Kaohsiung, south of Yunlin, will be acquired, of which the purchase target in Chiayi County is 1700 metric tons. The purchase price is 25 yuan per jin (26 yuan for production and marketing experience verification). All aquaculture fishermen who have obtained the aquaculture fishery registration certificate and completed the annual stocking volume declaration can register the acquisition.

The Agriculture Department of Chiayi County said that if you wish to register and acquire fishermen, you can apply to the Chiayi County Fisheries production area Development Association (Tel: 05-3427586; address: 2-6 Xindian Village, Yizhu Township, Chiayi County) from December 19. The association will assist the cooperative community to arrange time to collect fish, and the county government will carry out pool-side inspection operations. At the same time, if you want to pay for the quality and hygiene of the purchased fish, you must also meet the requirements of the Fish harvesting Co-operative Society to ensure quality and food safety.

Chiayi County Agriculture Department pointed out that at present, the edge price of 600 grams of tilapia is about 22 to 23 yuan. In order to maintain stable production and marketing and drive up fish prices, through production and marketing adjustment measures will be implemented until the pond price is stabilized to 25 yuan per catty or reaches the target quantity or until February 13, 109. Eligible fishermen can register with the Chiayi County Culture Fisheries Association.
