The Ministry of Commerce of Mainland China announced the investigation of trade barriers to Taiwan's long -term trade restrictions, involving a total of 2455 agricultural and industrial textile products. Agricultural products are the core projects.Starting two years ago, Lufang has suspended the import of imports of Taiwan agricultural and fisheries products on the grounds of food security and quarantine, but the chairman of the Agricultural Committee Chen Jizhong did not act in a political language.In the era, how much confidence is there in Taiwan's agriculture?
Cross -strait trade has been in an absence for a long time. Most agricultural products in Taiwan can be sold to the other side. They also enjoy various conveniences such as quarantine and rapid customs clearance.Concentrate on the mainland; the mainland opens a "green channel" to Taiwan. On the other hand, Taiwan has built a high wall of trade on the mainland.WTO principle.
Especially after the Malaysian government signed an ECFA, Taiwan can say that the benefits of the mainland's benefit, including the huge trade surplus of the year, this is why when the DPP was in the wild, it was said by Cai Yingwen as sugar and coat.ECFA, not only "generalized", but also higher and higher the dependence on the mainland trade.However, the Democratic Progressive Party held up the anti -China -China Baozai, and he had to humiliate and ugliness the other side. He was close to the horse's predecessor under the game under the game of the big country.
Taiwan has long set up heavy trade barriers to land for a long time, but when the other side has suspended the import of Taiwan agricultural and fishery products one after another two years ago, Chen Jizhong's system responded. In addition to criticizing the political operations of the other side and violating the principles of international trade, it is even more impressive and threatened.The WTO was sued, but from pineapple to grouper, it was silent.Chen Jizhong, who was born in agricultural scholars, certainly knew that there was indeed asymmetric trading between the two sides of the strait, but it was the opposite shore that was not treated by injustice.
However, except for the attack in political languages, Chen Jizhong did not do nothing to improve agricultural physique and enhance competitiveness.Taking the pineapple that has fallen in recent days, the Agricultural Committee has repeatedly declared that it has successfully transferred the export market. In fact, in the past, there were 40,000 to 50,000 tons of pineapple exports in Taiwan in the past.Tons, only 21,000 tons were left last year. The number of originals that did not transfer to the original landed at all caused the price of pineapple only half of the cost, and farmers had no return.
At the beginning, the landfield was suspended from the import of pineapple on the grounds that the shells were seized multiple times and have not been improved.The Agricultural Committee then sacrificed a high subsidy method to change sales of Japan, Star and other places to create the illusion of "pioneering diversified markets".However, this short -term operation method has not been targeted at the local consumption preference investigation and specified deeds in the import country in advance.The signboard caused 273 tons of Singapore in the previous year. Only 42 metric tons remained last year. It almost lost the Singapore market. Japan also reported that the pineapple "black heart" incident repeatedly returned.
As for the grouper that was suspended from the retention of the prohibited drugs by the Lu side last June, it was not only pulled out of the industry's long -term "souvenir culture", but also revealed that most of the farms have not been registered.How much is it?In order to remove the grouper, the Executive Yuan also spent 600 million yuan in the second half of last year to subsidize the school's "grouper" in the school. I did not expect that soon it became a "grouper such as class" due to unstable supply.This kind of sawing method that is urgent and only to solve the problem in front of the agricultural committee is no wonder that Taiwan's agriculture can never be upgraded.
In addition to exports, Taiwan is facing the imbalances of supply and demand such as chickens and pigs, and no pork and pigs. However, the agricultural committee's solution can only be imported by project imports. This is due to long -term policy failure.Ironically, although the pain index of the whole people has soared, Chen Jizhong's official transport seems to be unsightly, and he is waiting to become the first agricultural minister.However, once the mainland no longer plays for Taiwan, in recent years, only the agricultural committee has only had subsidy policies and intervention in market prices. What will happen to Taiwan's agriculture with a weak constitution, it is really unimaginable!
