COVID-19 (Wuhan pneumonia) affects the sale of agricultural products in Taiwan, and all parties are looking for alternative markets, of which Hong Kong is the most popular. The carrots in Jiangjun Township, which is in harvest a few days ago, have been sold to Hong Kong for a total of 400 metric tons in two weeks. is it feasible for Hong Kong to reduce its dependence on the Chinese market?

The "upstream and downstream" inventory of major agricultural, fishing and livestock exports has greatly reduced the impact of the epidemic on restaurant ingredients (such as grouper), but the demand for afternoon larvae in household households has remained unchanged, the necessities of vegetables have increased, fruits have been slightly affected, and luxury goods such as tea have also been affected. Frozen meat products are currently flat, but after Taiwan meat products announced the withdrawal of needles for foot-and-mouth disease last year, both Hong Kong and Singapore are highly interested in Taiwan meat products, and manufacturers will also develop new products for the Hong Kong market.

The International Office of the Council of Agriculture believes that Hong Kong's grain depends on imports, and Taiwan's export to Hong Kong has the advantages of short transportation time, low tariffs, and subsequent re-export to China. At present, due to the temporary increase in demand due to the epidemic, continuous efforts will be made to maintain the market after the epidemic. Agricultural expert Jiao Jun said that foreign units, trade associations and other organs should be invited to various places (not limited to Hong Kong) to understand the real consumption demand of the local market, regardless of export or domestic demand, must be based on consumer demand.

Jiao Jun believes that the epidemic has affected China's exports, not only agricultural products, but all products, so there is a single-order effect, while the fluctuation in the quantity of agricultural products sold to Hong Kong at this stage stems from the demand of consumers at the end.
