Taiwan’s grapefruit planting area increased last year and the output increased sharply. After the “Agriculture and Grain Department” launched the purchase, the Yongxing Fruit and Vegetable Production Cooperative in Gukeng Township collected 130 metric tons of purchases in one morning.

According to Taiwan's China Times, Su Zhenchang's team likes the four words "advanced deployment" the most. Any action must be deployed ahead of time. In recent years, the "Committee of Agriculture" has been more and more entertaining for farmers. If there is a problem with agricultural products, subsidies and purchases will be made. There is no money to solve it. But is this good for the long-term development of Taiwan's agriculture?
There are certainly various factors that are imbalanced in agricultural production and sales. Some are artificial trade factors, some are natural disasters, and even excessive harvests will cause low grains to hurt farmers. Although the "Agriculture Committee" can argue that it is reasonable to pay money, but in the past, emergency funds for production and sales adjustments could only be used for a small part. Why do the Taiwan authorities now spend a lot of money?
The main reason is that the "Committee of Agriculture" only cares about the surface, spends money to do big internal propaganda, organizes 1450 cyber army, and only looks at the direction of public opinion, so when encountering urgent problems, they want to spend money to eliminate disasters first.
Recently, the "Committee of Agriculture" provides high subsidies for freight to allow pineapples to be exported to Australia, which is an obvious case. It is ridiculed that freight is more expensive than fruits and lacks economic thinking. Moreover, pineapples only start harvesting in April, so the real time for problems is then. But this is the thinking logic of the "Committee on Agriculture", because the news is hot now, and even if you lose money, you have to show your "strength" of exporting to Australia. After a few days of popularity in the media, when pineapples were released in April, how the "Committee on Agriculture" is the real ability.
However, the "Committee of Agriculture" has now established an image of "will give money" and "very powerful". Some people have joked about it in the market and said in a speculative tone that they can set up a "happy" farm. Anyway, they have the opportunity to report agricultural losses at any time. Happy to enjoy subsidies from the Taiwan authorities, and the Taiwan authorities will also purchase agricultural products.
"Agriculture Committee" like this is really easy to do. If you encounter problems, you will spend a lot of money. If someone questiones, he will blame him for hiding Taiwan's agriculture and bullying Taiwanese farmers. But is this a long-term solution? Agricultural government units cannot cope with the imbalance of production and sales from the root causes. They use acquisitions to solve the problem every time. Isn’t it just a financial black hole that can never be blocked?
