Why It Matters

Taiwan and the United States signed a reciprocal trade agreement (ART). In order to support local peanut farmers in Yunlin, TSMC Deputy General Manager Zhuang Zishou personally purchased 15 million yuan in Yunlin peanut lucky bags, a total of 34,000 pieces. The Yunlin County Government issued a certificate of thanks. The Huwei Town Farmers' Association launched a "share subscription" to sell peanuts to shareholders of the farm. Today (7th), it called on thousands of shareholders to go to the fields to pull peanuts. Cai Wuji said that nine years ago, the Farmers Association first opened the public to "subscribe" shares to become shareholders of peanut fields. For only 1,000 yuan, you can subscribe for one share of a nearly 7 square meter peanut field. This year, a thousand people subscribed for more than 160 shares, and the peanut field covers an area of ​​0.4 hectares. The second phase of peanuts this year has gradually entered the harvesting period. Affected by the rain in August, the output has decreased by more than 20%. The current opening price of the production area is about 36 yuan per catty, which is slightly higher than the average price of the first phase. The farmers' association contract purchase price is 2 to 3 yuan higher than the market price to ensure farmers' income. The second phase of peanut harvesting will begin at the end of the month. We still need to look at the overall production situation, and prices may fluctuate slightly.

[Reporter Li Wende/Yunlin Report] Taiwan and the United States signed a reciprocal trade agreement (ART). In order to support local peanut farmers in Yunlin, TSMC Deputy General Manager Zhuang Zishou personally purchased 15 million yuan of Yunlin peanut lucky bags, a total of 34,000 pieces. The county government issued a certificate of thanks yesterday. In addition, the Huwei Town Farmers Association launched a "share subscription" to sell peanuts to shareholders of the farm. Today (7th), it called on thousands of shareholders to go to the fields to pull peanuts, creating a lively scene. There are also some investors who are worried about their properties. They feel bad after the Taiwan stock market crashed yesterday. Fortunately, with this investment, they have gained a lot and comforted themselves a lot.

Today, thousands of "Peanut Field" shareholders gathered at the Huwei Peanut Field. The Chairman of the Farmers Association, Lin Kunquan, Director General Cai Wuji and others announced the start. The participants accelerated their pace and immediately plucked out all the peanut fields that they subscribed to. People from Chiayi said that they had participated once last year and called on relatives and friends to participate this year, hoping to let children know about the hard work of farmers through practical agricultural experience.

Some people also joked that the collapse of the Taiwan stock market yesterday had affected their mood to some extent. Fortunately, they participated in the "stock subscription" operation in the peanut field in advance. Now they can harvest strong peanuts, taste peanut dishes, and have DIY experiences. It is a great value for money and comforts them a lot.

Cai Wuji said that nine years ago, the Farmers Association first opened the public to "subscribe shares" to become shareholders of peanut fields. For only 1,000 yuan, you can subscribe for one share of a nearly 7-square-meter peanut field. During the peanut harvest period, shareholders are invited to come back to harvest. This year, a thousand people subscribed for more than 1,000 shares. 160 shares, the peanut field covers an area of 0.4 hectares. The reputation over the years has attracted people in Taipei, Taichung, Tainan and other places to become "shareholders". We hope that the Peanut Shareholders Meeting event will polish the Tiger King brand and let more people know about the high-quality peanut industry.

Cai Wuji said that the second phase of peanuts this year has gradually entered the harvesting period. Affected by the rain in August, the output has decreased by more than 20%. The current opening price of the production area is about 36 yuan per catty, which is slightly higher than the average price of the first phase. The farmers' association contract purchase price is 2 to 3 yuan higher than the market price to ensure farmers' income. The second phase of peanut harvesting will begin at the end of the month. We still need to look at the overall production situation, and prices may fluctuate slightly.

The Farmers Association stated that the "Tiger King" brand has been recognized by consumers over the years. TSMC Deputy General Manager Zhuang Zishou recently purchased 15 million peanut products from the Farmers Association in his own name. Yesterday, the county magistrate issued a certificate of thanks to Vice President Zhuang Zishou for his enthusiasm for public welfare and supporting Yunlin Agriculture.
