Changhua City sold an average of 25 bales of fertilizer each month last year, but from the beginning of the month to the 23rd, it had sold nearly 900 bales. According to Changhua City's agricultural organizations, the most sought-after fertilizers sold by peasants are almost no stock of ammonium sulfate and urea; other non-rice, fruit and vegetable fertilizers are also rushing to buy, resulting in many safety stocks for the farmers' association. Almost exhausted.
The local farmer Taiji, a major fertilizer supplier in Dayi Island, deliberately refused to ship, waiting for a price increase to make money. The Changhua City Farmers Association has responded urgently to relevant departments and hopes to obtain more quotas for Taiwan Fertilizer Company to meet the needs of farmers.
A grassroots peasant association in Kaohsiung County also asked the administrative department to solve the problem of fertilizer shortage immediately, and called on the fertilizer industry to work together to make the production line return to normal as soon as possible.
Tainan County fruit growers also said that many farmers have recently heard that farmers can not buy fertilizer, I do not know whether the merchant knows that the price will be deliberately raised the price of goods, or the original material prices soaring, the supply is really a shortage; hope the relevant units to investigate clearly .
In response, Taiwan’s “Agrarian Food Agency†stated that it will prepare an additional budget of NT$3 billion to subsidize the production of fertilizers by farmers and reduce farmers’ expenditures. It will also entrust local farmers’ associations with subsidies-related measures and control the amount and direction of fertilizers. Stop the accumulation of fertilizer.
