DPP tried hard to cover up the problem of egg shortage
Taiwan's United Daily News reported on the 6th that the egg shortage crisis in Taiwan has not been resolved so far, and people snatched eggs and laughed at themselves as if showing off their wealth.
The owner of the egg shop in Songshan District, Taipei City fixedly hid the egg behind the counter. Ms. Lin, a citizen, had no choice but to say, "Buying an egg is like an illegal transaction." Miaoli Egg Shop said that the price of eggs is above 42 yuan per catty ( NT$ , the same below), and at this time last year, it was only 25 yuan per catty. On the Internet on the island, "How many eggs do you eat during the Spring Festival" has become a hot topic.
Faced with the problem of egg shortage, the DPP authorities began to try their best to cover it up again.
"Deputy Chairman of the Committee of Agriculture" Huang Jincheng said that people will have holidays during the Chinese New Year, but chickens don't need to rest. People think that they can't buy eggs because they are still on holidays. These eggs will inevitably accumulate a certain amount during holidays, and are expected to be compensated until mid-February, and will be imported from Australia, the United States, Japan and other countries to fill the market needs.
"United Daily" said on the 5th that after all, the initiator of this egg waste was the Taiwan authorities. Over the past year, the government has been unable to suppress prices, so it has to suppress the electricity, oil and egg prices that the people feel the most. Oil and electricity prices can be absorbed by public institutions on their own, but the feed prices have risen by 40%. The DPP authorities have asked the egg prices to freeze and "do good deeds" for themselves. Farmers can only raise less or abandon them. "After the Spring Festival, it is difficult to relieve the egg shortage immediately, and the government's manipulation will let go a little, and the people will know what the real egg price is."
Lu Xiuyan urged the DPP authorities to resolve the
Taiwan's egg shortage is the most serious in the north.
Taichung Mayor Lu Xiuyan said today that the supply of eggs in Taichung City was stable before the Chinese New Year, but there was also a shortage during the Spring Festival, and even foreign tourists came to Taichung to buy goods. The food supply policy is the right and responsibility of the DPP authorities. She called on the ruling party to do something and not let the basic living resources be short of!

Recently, due to climate factors, Taiwan has been influencing egg production. In the past, Taiwan had to supply an average of about 120,000 boxes of eggs per day. Currently, due to the reduced egg production rate, it only supplies 100,000 boxes a day, with a shortage of 20,000 boxes and 1.2 million pieces, causing the market to lack eggs. The price of eggs also rose from NT$35 per kilogram (about 600 grams) to NT$40 to 45. The "Committee for Agriculture" has launched the "South Eggs and North Delivery" to make up for the egg gap in the north.
Lu Xiuyan inspected the epidemic prevention preparations before the start of school today. In response to the topic of egg shortage, he said that the city government should pay close attention to the supply and demand situation and prices of eggs and other daily necessities before the New Year. Originally, the supply of eggs in Taichung was stable. Although the price rose slightly, it was within the reasonable increase of when demand was strong during the Spring Festival. However, the city government has recently discovered that there was also a shortage of eggs in Taichung, reminding the DPP authorities to strengthen supply and demand allocation.
Lu Xiuyan pointed out that during the Spring Festival, foreign customers came to Taichung to buy eggs, so the egg shortage in the north has affected the central and southern regions. The Jianguo Market, the largest public retail market in Taichung, has recently been because of the "singular goods" of eggs. The stall owner stipulated that one person had a limited purchase of up to 20 pieces. This situation has affected people's livelihood and called on the Tsai administration to do something, do a good job in regulation, and solve the problem of lack of eggs.
