The first phase of rice cultivation in Taiwan covers an area of about 170,000 hectares. The Agricultural Committee announced today (25) that due to the tight water situation, 19,000 hectares of irrigation will be stopped in the Jianan Plain next year, and compensation measures will be drawn up. However, for farmers and rice-related businesses in Chianan, the first crop of rice is the most important income of the year, and compensation is only a drop in the bucket. Everyone's mood is very gloomy when they think that they are bound to lose money next year.

Chen Jizhong promised not to be short of grain and appealed to grain merchants not to lower rice prices

According to the yield data of past irrigation stops, the annual rice harvest in China has decreased by about 10%. Jianan Plain is a big barn in China. Will there be a crisis in domestic grain next year when rice is fallow? Chen Jizhong, chairman of the Agricultural Committee, said that since the Covid-19 epidemic this year, domestic grain, vegetables and fruits have been inventoried. In addition to relying on imported corn and soybeans, the supply of rice is safe and secure."There are 890,000 metric tons of grain supply stocks, which can supply Chinese people for more than seven months."

A researcher of an agricultural reform farm also said that the seedling time of the first phase of rice planting in the west is slowly advanced from south to north, and the transplanting begins at the end of February in the north. There is still some time to observe. Even if it is estimated by the worst water situation, the rest of cultivation in the west will stop irrigating more than 80,000 hectares. From past experience, there will be plum rain and other supplements after the first phase of rice fallow, and there will still be harvest in the second phase of rice planting, and there will be public grain stocks, so there will be no shortage of rice in China.

Although there will be no shortage of rice, the peach and bamboo seedling areas have already appeared.
