Grape orders plummet by 70 percent, small farmers call for bulk group purchases by companies and communities
Grapes hang heavy on the vines, yet farmers in Dacun, Changhua pick them with great anxiety. After the domestic pandemic alert was raised to Level 3, people's consumption shifted from physical stores to online, causing orders from restaurants and fruit shops to drop; when "Upstream and Downstream" actually asked farmers' associations and farmers in the production areas, it found that grapes in the Dacun area are mostly sold directly by farmers, with a small portion sold on their behalf by the farmers' association. With school closures, staggered work shifts and unstable logistics and delivery conditions, orders have fallen sharply for both the farmers' association and the farmers, with farmers' orders down by more than 70 percent. Last year's warm winter also caused grapes in Nantou to mature early, so the grapes from both areas clashed head-on, which is quite unfavorable for sales.

Big and plump strawberries grown with mile-a-minute weed biochar-based fertilizer and vinegar liquid
Mile-a-minute weed biochar combined with vinegar liquid produces big and plump strawberries. Want to learn how? Then read the introduction below. Huang Ying-pin, senior researcher at the Ecosystem Technology Laboratory of the Central Branch of the Industrial Technology Research Institute, says that mile-a-minute weed (Mikania micrantha) is native to Central and South America, harms crop growth, is known abroad as the "mile-a-minute weed", and is also regarded as the "green cancer" of the plant world. Mile-a-minute weed spreads rapidly in Taiwan, China, and is a plant that forestry units want to eradicate as quickly as possible, but it is not entirely useless. Research has shown that mile-a-minute weed is rich in micropores and is a very good charcoal material, which can be converted into "biochar" and "vinegar liquid" through carbonization technology; biochar can be used for soil improvement, and combined with vinegar liquid it becomes a pest and disease control agent or a plant growth promoter.
