On the island Taitung County the words "Product of Taiwan, China" appeared on the fruit boxes of pineapple custard apples ( a variety of cherimoya ) sold to Hong Kong. As a result, the former "Green Committee" His mentality collapsed, and he claimed that it was "very dazzling and helpless..."

On the island’s green media "Liberty Times" website, it was reported on the 13th that Taitung pineapple custard apples will enter the peak season in November, and various agricultural administration departments have recently been assisting in finding export channels. Lai Kuncheng, a former "legislator" of the Democratic Progressive Party, posted on Facebook today pineapple and sugar apple fruit boxes sold from Taitung to Hong Kong, with "Product of Taiwan, China" written on them. Lai Kun posted a post on Facebook, claiming, "It's very dazzling, very helpless..."
Due to the detection of pests and diseases, the mainland previously announced that it would suspend the import of cherimoya and Lianwu from Taiwan to the mainland starting from September 20. In addition to the above-mentioned "glaring and helpless" "sigh", Lai Kuncheng also said that Taitung County is doing a loss-making business.
Lai Kuncheng claimed on Facebook that because the import of pineapple custard apples was banned from the mainland, Taiwan's "Council of Agriculture" proposed a goal of exporting 5,000 tons of pineapple custard apples, selling 5,000 tons domestically, and processing and freezing 3,000 tons of 15,000 tons of pineapple custard apples. In Hong Kong, the bulk market for export orders, the current terminal market price is about NT$45 per catty (NT$, the same below), which is lower than the NT$70 per catty on the "Council of Agriculture" and "Hao Shi Lian Lian" platforms. Lai Kuncheng questioned Taitung County : "Even if the government provides subsidies, I'm afraid it's still a loss-making business. Is it necessary to spend a lot of money to support traders to buy at low prices and then sell them at low prices in Hong Kong?"
Taiwan's "Feng Media" reported 3 days ago that Taiwan's farmers While the government departments were busy looking for a way out for Taitung pineapple custard apples, the Taitung County government was the first to deliver outstanding results. From November, when the pineapple custard apples were in peak production, to December 6, 374,000 kilograms of pineapple custard apples had been successfully sold to farmers. Rao Qingling, Taitung County Magistrate of the Kuomintang, said that the most convenient e-commerce interface and the county government's efforts to promote custard apples and practical actions to allow consumers and farmers to easily buy and sell pineapple custard apples are the reasons for the success.
Lai Kuncheng was sour about this and made the above argument.
Some netizens on the island pointedly said: "If it can be sold domestically, why sell it at a low price? The 'Council of Agriculture' is incompetent." ↓
Some netizens sarcastically said: "The point is, 'Who is Lai Kuncheng?'?" ↓
When Rao Qingling mentioned the sales of Taitung pineapple custard apples on November 3, she said that Taiwan's "Agricultural Committee" promised to help export 5,000 tons, but until now there has been no follow-up, which made her "so angry that I don't want to talk about it."
According to a previous report by "China Times News Network", on November 4, Taitung County Councilor Wang Wenyi questioned Rao Qingling about the suspension of imports of custard apples from the mainland. Wang Wenyi believed that the issue of custard apples was urgent, and Rao Qingling responded: "The focus is to restore the mainland market." She criticized the DPP authorities for "pretending to be asleep but unable to wake them up."
Rao Qingling also said at the time that the annual output of Taitung pineapple custard apples was 15,000 tons. After the mainland suspended imports, the Taitung County government actively coordinated Carrefour, FamilyMart and Taipei MRT and other operators to expand custard apples sales, but again No matter how hard we try to sell it domestically, we still can't absorb the amount of food we export to the mainland. Even if Taiwanese eat it until they turn into "custard apples", they still won't be able to finish 15,000 tons.
