Wuhan Pneumonia Impact 0310"Vegetables in Trouble and in Urgent Need of Assistance! Yunlin Vegetable Farmers Hit Hardest, Bumper Harvest Plus Pandemic Makes Things Worse

As the COVID-19 (commonly known as Wuhan pneumonia) pandemic continues to spread, the restaurant and tourism industries are in the doldrums, which has had a knock-on effect on domestic agriculture. Commercial demand for vegetables has fallen, large quantities of vegetables are unsold, and prices are low. Yunlin County has been hit the hardest, and some farmers have even plowed their field vegetables back into the soil (abandoning the harvest). To help farmers sell their vegetables, the Yunlin Agriculture Department is actively matching them with various sales channels, and says it welcomes businesses or members of the public to call directly to order vegetables at the dedicated line 05-5522469.
