China plans to open lean meat essence ractopamine American pork (referred to as lai pig) into the country, triggering a strong backlash from pig farmers. ── Yunlin County, the main producing area that accounts for nearly 30% of the number of pigs raised in the country, first launched an attack, including pig farmers, cooperatives, township farmers' associations, and nearly 200 people gathered at Yunlin County today (31) to solemnly express their opposition.

Pig farmers lambasted the central government for ignoring the health of the people, for failing to communicate beforehand, and for "going to the countryside to feel their heads" only after the policy was announced, claiming that they would set aside a NT $10 billion fund to support the industry, but there was no specific content. "it's just that they want to put money into our mouths. How can any pig farmer be willing to accept it?" Chien Mingqin, director-general of the Yunlin County Peasant Association, said that pig farmers have no right to resist the entry of Lai Pig, but can only call on people to unite to save themselves and all catering and processing industries to support domestic pork.

Although the Council of Agriculture claims that Mei Pig is not as delicious as Taiwan Pig and is not worried about competition, according to import data, of the 110000 tons of imported pigs, pig feet account for nearly 20, 000 tons. Importers say that import prices fluctuate with the market. Recently, there was a low price of 20 yuan per kilogram, which was at least 40-60 yuan cheaper than that of domestic hooves, while imported coliform heads were mostly used in snack bars and black-and-white cuts. Heavily processed pork products are more likely to be replaced by cheap imported pork.

At present, the number of pigs in Taiwan is 5.51 million, and Yunlin County accounts for 1.56 million, nearly 30% of the total number of pigs in the country. Pig farmers present today all expressed anger at the central decision. Cai Defu, director of Yunlin County Pig raising Association, and Lin Mingzhen, chairman of Yunlin County Mailiao Pig production Cooperative and director of the Republic of China Pig raising Cooperative Association, denounced in unison: "We all went to the parades in the past dispute over clenbuterol. The current government is still taking the lead. When we talk about opening up, pigs are only our property. We pig farmers have the same demand as in the past: imported pork clenbuterol must be zero detected! "

Xu Yucong, chairman of the Yunlin County Pig raising Association, said that the central government did not communicate beforehand, and it was "quite immoral" to open up Lai Pig without discussion, and the association persisted in opposing it to the end. Xu said that the proposed package will continue to be reflected to the central government. When asked about the trip of the Council of Agriculture to visit pig farmers two days ago and the details of whether there was a matching fund of NT $10 billion, another Mailiao Pig raising Cooperative Society in Yunlin County said, "the Council of Agriculture only came to the countryside to touch the head, and the details of the supporting measures were not mentioned at all. They just want to spend NT $10 billion to bribe us, and pig farmers won't accept it!"
