The DPP authorities acknowledge it! 54.02 million eggs are going to be destroyed
From the collusion scandal in the "Chaosi" case to the food safety crisis across the island, the controversy over imported eggs on the island continues to spread. According to reports from Taiwanese media, Chen Jizhong, the head of Taiwan's agriculture department, has finally come out yesterday to explain the flow of imported eggs. Out of 140 million imported eggs, 54.02 million were destroyed due to "wear and tear" and will be composted, with a value of about 200 million yuan.
This response has angered public opinion on the island. Chinese Taipei City Councilor You Shuhui, a member of the Kuomintang, said that "destroyed eggs" are twice as many as "put on shelves eggs". If affected by the imported egg scandal, the inventory of 32.09 million eggs cannot be sold and will expire, resulting in 86.14 million eggs being destroyed. At a price of 5 yuan per egg, the total loss will exceed 533 million yuan. And this bad debt was ultimately paid for by all Taiwanese people, which led to You Shuhui angrily criticizing Chen Jizhong for being absurd.
Former Democratic Progressive Party representative Guo Zhengliang questioned that there are currently over 30 million eggs on the market, and what are the distinguishing criteria between them and the over 50 million eggs that are about to be destroyed? Why is there no problem with over 30 million pieces on the market and problems with those left in the warehouse? He said that Chen Jizhong is "seeking wealth" and "causing harm" on the issue of imported eggs. Why doesn't he "need to apologize and step down?"
Faced with repeated inquiries from Taiwanese media whether to apologize for the imported egg scandal, Chen Jizhong kept talking to him from side to side. The head of the People's Party's Legislative Yuan caucus, Qiu Chenyuan, criticized that imported eggs, from the initial contracts, cash flows, and negotiations, have caused people to doubt their intentions, and now extend to food safety issues. Shout Chen Jizhong not to be too stubborn and apologize if necessary.
This head of the agricultural department has become a scapegoat of Taiwan's agriculture;
Commentary points out that when "Chaosi" monopolizes 60% of imported eggs and earns 38 million yuan, when the egg shortage ends after three years of corruption, and when spoiled imported eggs mix with local eggs, it triggers a food safety crisis... To what extent does the Democratic Progressive Party authorities want to undermine the trust of the people on the island? Taiwanese people have really had enough of Chen Jizhong. Please stop shamelessly sheltering your boy, Tsai Ing wen.
