Typhoon Qiangbi affected the activities held in mountainous areas, and Jianshi Township sweet persimmons faced slow sales, prompting the public office and private representatives to initiate corporate subscriptions.
Affected by Typhoon Qiangbi, the Sweet Persimmon Festival scheduled to be held today (24th) in Jianshi Township, Hsinchu County, cannot be held as scheduled. Fruit farmers are worried that the sweet persimmons harvested after hard work will be unsalable. The Jianshi Township Office has launched a corporate subscription event. The physical exhibition and sale at the bamboo house next to the suspension bridge in the north corner of Jianshi will continue as usual tomorrow. We invite everyone to join hands to support small farmers and accompany the fruit farmers to tide over the difficulties.
Legislator Xu Xinying said that during the storm, she was most concerned about the safety of the people in the mountainous areas. She immediately called Jianshi Township Chief Zeng Guoda and Wufeng Township Chief Qiu Weishu to express their concern about the disaster in their hometowns and the preventive evacuation situation. Fortunately, the overall disaster situation in the two townships is generally stable. We will continue to pay attention to the rescue and recovery work. We also call on all walks of life and corporate partners to actively subscribe for sweet persimmons in the mountainous areas and take practical actions to support local farmers.
Zeng Guoda said that Jianshi Township sweet persimmons are mainly produced in Meihua Village, Xinle Village and Yixing Village in Qianshan, and the varieties include "Jiro", "Fufu" and "Huayushuo". There was less rainfall before the harvest this year. The persimmons are not only extremely sweet and of excellent quality, they also taste fresh, crisp and juicy! The company invites major enterprises and the general public to actively respond to the subscription and accompany Jianshi small farmers through the test of the typhoon.
The "Good Persimmons on Sharp Stones" exhibition and sale event originally scheduled to last two days was suspended due to the typhoon on the rooftop today, but it will be launched as scheduled tomorrow (25th). Everyone is welcome to visit the Bamboo House Exhibition and Sales Center next to the North Point Suspension Bridge to purchase. Enterprise subscription hotline: 03-5841001 extension 306.
Xu Xinying emphasized that agriculture is the lifeblood of her hometown, "protecting safety in the wind and rain, and protecting the harvest after the storm." She invited business partners and villagers and friends to place orders by phone or in person at the exhibition, so that farmers' hard work throughout the year will not be in vain.
