In this regard, Zheng Yunpeng said at the press conference of the Democratic Progressive Party Group in the Legislative Yuan today that some of the egg shortages are force majeure, including the bird flu problem, and the extremely cold weather from before the Chinese New Year to now, so chickens will not lay eggs. The reason is that there are some comprehensive factors such as seasonal deployment.

Zheng Yunpeng explained that the animal husbandry of chicken farming is not like the iPhone production line. It is produced in a dust-free environment, and there are still uncontrollable conditions such as weather and bird flu. The Executive Yuan also asked the Council of Agriculture to promote chicken farmers to use modern equipment to isolate bird flu infection, etc. .

Zheng Yunpeng pointed out that Guo Taiming has his entrepreneurial spirit, but the government will try its best to allocate and even special import, but sometimes there is still a market mechanism for price fluctuations, and it cannot make animal husbandry and chicken farmers unprofitable. The government must take care of chicken farmers , Taking into account consumers and meeting different conditions, so I respect what Guo Taiming said, but there are some things that Guo Taiming may not know so well.
