[TheEpochTimesJune192022](Reported by Yuan Shigang and Li Yixin in Taipei, Taiwan) The CCP has unilaterally stopped the import of Taiwan grouper. Fan Meiling, acting director of the Fisheries Department of the Agriculture Committee, said on the 19th that in order to avoid fishery products The centralized listing will affect the price, and a low-interest loan of 5 million yuan per hectare will be provided to encourage fishermen to extend their breeding and continue to expand the domestic market; the grouper production season is expected to start in August, and marketing activities will also be launched at that time.
Fan Meiling attended the black tuna marketing event held by Yilan Suao District Fisheries Association in Taipei on the 19th. She said in an interview that China notified Taiwan on June 10 that two batches of grouper had been found to be banned from the drug crystal violet, and that the import of grouper to Taiwan has been suspended since the 13th. Last week, the 11 farms related to the two reported flights, including fish, pond water, and subsoil, have been completely inspected. No banned drugs such as crystal violet, malachite green, and tetracycline have been detected. Provide scientific evidence to China through the cross-strait animal and plant quarantine window, and hope that China will soon resume the import of grouper.
During this period, the COA has also prepared countermeasures. Fan Meiling pointed out that fishermen will be encouraged to extend their breeding, and a low-interest loan of 5 million yuan per hectare will be provided. It is planned to be interest-free for the first year, so as to avoid the centralized listing of fishery products and affect the price. In addition, it will continue to expand the domestic market. It will take about a month and a half for grouper to actually start mass production. At that time, many marketing activities will be carried out in line with the production season, and domestic and foreign market promotions will be strengthened to improve the convenience of consumers’ purchase.
For the export part, the Council of Agriculture will, through international promotion activities, hope that with the assistance of processing and exporters, the good grouper can be sold to more countries. The main target markets are the United States, New Zealand, Canada, and the European Union.

Fan Meiling emphasized that this case is only for a specific business owner, and a week has passed, and the entire leucorrhea sales have not been affected. ◇
