[Reporter Lin Xinhan/Taipei Report] The Food and Drug Administration will soon announce the opening of Japanese strawberries that may contain residues of two pesticides banned in my country, such as "flunidramine" and "kefanpai". Chairman Liu Xingzheng, Director-General Xu Qinzhi, and Qingnong of Dahu Township Farmers' Association in the county firmly opposed the Food and Drug Administration's measures to relax the control of strawberry pesticides in Japan, and expressed their protest to the Japan Exchange Association.

Zeng Mingzong, chief chairman of the Kuomintang League of the Legislative Yuan, said that according to the current regulations, "flunidide" and "kefanpai" are not allowed to be detected, and strawberry farmers in China are prohibited from using them. Oppose the Food and Drug Administration's opening of the import of Japanese strawberries containing "flunidamide" and "kefanpai" pesticides.

The Kuomintang group questioned whether the relaxation of pesticide residue standards is the Japanese government's pressure or the Tsai government's initiative to cater to the good. Where does the consumer's health rights go? The Tsai government is considerate of Japanese farmers, but does not take care of the basic rights of domestic farmers. .

Chief Deputy Secretary-General Lin Siming said that for seven years, the Tsai government has used the tactic of "covering the ears and stealing the bell", pretending that the world is peaceful and that the years are peaceful. Quality indicators: If the power is insufficient, the repair and transfer capacity warning will be issued; if pigs, mad cows, and nuclear food are coming in, the food safety standards will be relaxed; now that the pesticide residues in Japanese strawberries exceed the standard, the inspection standards will be relaxed.

KMT Miaoli County Legislator Xu Zhirong said that the Tsai government opened up clenbuterol for "American dads". Carcinogenic pesticides are banned in Taiwan. In order to please the so-called allies and allies, the Tsai government will sacrifice the health of the people in exchange.

Xu Zhirong pointed out that strawberry farmers in Dahu, Gongguan, Shitan, Taian and other townships in Miaoli strictly abide by the regulations on the use of pesticides and are very cautious about pesticide residues.

Peasant associations such as Dahu are trembling, including occasional random inspections of strawberries in agricultural reformation farms, so that the people of the country can eat with peace of mind.

He called on the Food and Drug Administration to rein in the precipice, immediately stop the procedure of allowing Japan to import strawberries containing Kefanpai and Fluniamide pesticides, and strengthen border inspections.

Liu Xingzheng said that the Dahu Farmers Association has been responsible for guiding the development of strawberry cultivation in China. Kefanpai and flunilamine are neutral pesticides and cannot be used in Taiwan at all. Once the import of strawberries containing these two pesticides is opened in Japan, it will inevitably cause health concerns for the Chinese people. , and there is no guarantee for the domestic strawberry industry.

Xu Qinzhi also said that the government has been promoting friendly cultivation and organic cultivation, and the strawberry gardens in Miaoli County follow the government's regulations, including young farmers, and try their best to use non-toxic cultivation methods to grow strawberries. I really don't understand why Cai The government can actually relax the import of Japanese strawberries containing Kefanpai and Fluniamine pesticides. In case of problems in eating Japanese strawberries, I believe that even domestic strawberries will make people afraid to eat them. When the strawberries are unsalable, will farmers still have a way out?
