[Taiwan's agricultural and fishery products banned Chen Jizhong shouted for export, Taitung County Governor: The two sides of the strait must sit down and talk, and the mainland's basket should not be given up lightly]
Taitung County Governor Rao Qingling said that she agreed with the DPP authorities to export Taitung's pineapple Shakya to other countries or regions, but also questioned whether Taitung's pineapple Shakya is sold to the mainland at 95 percent a year. When distributing some eggs to other places, the mainland should not give up this basket lightly, and the two sides of the strait should sit down and talk about the issue of agricultural and fishery products.
Rao Qingling said that after the mainland suspended the import of pineapple shakya in Taitung last year, the "Agricultural Committee" said that it was necessary to guide the transformation and export to other countries, which was a bit too optimistic, because the freshness period of pineapple Shakya was relatively short, and export needed a considerable cold chain system and frozen storage, as well as tariffs and other issues, which could not be completed in the short term.
She said that she very much agrees that the DPP authorities want to sell pineapple Shakya to countries or regions farther away, but the mainland has 95% of the channels, and it is heavily dependent on the mainland market. Is that smart? Standing in the position of the Taitung County Government, when distributing the eggs to other places, it is also hoped to keep the basket of the mainland, and the reason for the mainland embargo is pesticide residues, it is better to take this opportunity to let taitung pineapple Shakya detect zero, take care of the quality, if the mainland can help control food safety, why should Taiwan give up this market.
Rao Qingling said that she has repeatedly mentioned to Chen Jizhong in person that the two sides must talk about "pesticide detection" and not fall into the ideological trap at once, "first take care of the belly, then take care of the Buddha", the livelihood of farmers is the most important thing for the county government, and it is also what a responsible government should do.
