According to a report from Taiwan Zhongshi News Network on the 12th, Taiwan is facing the problem of egg shortage. A female netizen in Xizhi District, New Taipei City posted on Facebook that she ran all over the supermarkets near her home for eggs this morning (12th), and finally bought eggs at a convenience store. The store bought the last 2 boxes of eggs. After putting the bought eggs in the bicycle basket, she entered the convenience store again due to missing purchases, but when she came out, she found that the 2 boxes of eggs had been stolen. She couldn’t believe that such a thing would happen in Taiwan.
According to the report, the netizen posted on Facebook on the 12th that she ran all over the supermarkets near her home with her children in the morning but failed to buy eggs. Later, she bought the last two boxes at a convenience store. She put the eggs she bought on her bicycle. In the basket, she remembered missing something to buy and entered the convenience store again. She came out and found that the basket was empty. She was surprised that the eggs she had just bought had been stolen, and said, “Oh my God! This is Taiwan, this is Taiwan, I really don’t Dare to believe it!”
The report said that the netizen immediately called the police station to call the police. The police said that there were no surveillance cameras near the convenience store. Although it was impossible to know who stole her eggs, they could help her buy two more boxes of eggs. After hearing this, she immediately refused. “It’s useless for me. It feels like a waste of police force to ask the police to help buy eggs!”
Zhongshi News.com noticed that after the post was posted, some netizens in the island discussed it. Some people said, “Oh my god! Eggs are worth more than bicycles.” “Everything put on a motorcycle will be stolen now! I thought everyone knew it.” “At least I have left a box! This thief is too greedy.” ” Eggs are so precious now that even the unpaid eggs in the Costco (supermarket chain name) trolley will be stolen, let alone the eggs that have been paid for.”
According to previous reports from Taiwan media, affected by the low temperature and bird flu, the egg shortage on the island is difficult to solve, and the prices of eggs and duck eggs have both increased. After the wholesale price of eggs rose to a record high of NT$55 per catty (about 600 grams), the price of duck eggs, which had already reached a historical high, also rose by 3 yuan per catty from the 10th of this month. 48 yuan per catty, also hitting a record high.
A female netizen in Xinzhuang District, New Taipei City recently broke the news that there was a mother goose by the pool in Xinzhuang Sports Park, and all 7 eggs she laid recently were taken away. Some netizens on the island said, “The lack of eggs is so short that I want to grab the eggs of the mother goose.”
In response to Taiwan’s “egg shortage”, Chen Jizhong, chairman of Taiwan’s “Council of Agriculture”, said on the 11th that egg production capacity has begun to stabilize. In terms of emergency import projects, it is estimated that 1 million to 2 million eggs will be imported next week. The outside world frequently pointed out that Chen Jizhong should step down. Qiu Chenyuan, the “legislator” of the People’s Party, criticized that, looking back on the recent “egg shortage” incident, Chen Jizhong said, “Everyone is welcome to purchase duck eggs”; regarding the soaring egg price, Chen said, “Only promise to solve the ‘egg shortage’, but did not say it will be resolved.” ‘Egg prices'”, the “Council of Agriculture” kept making excuses, citing reasons such as feed price increases, bird flu and climate instability, etc., blaming the old chicken coops, blaming the people for rushing to buy them, but not blaming themselves, asking when he would resume supply The egg is also delayed again and again. Qiu Chenyuan sarcastically said, “There is a big shortage of eggs in Taiwan, and only the eloquence of the chairman will be promoted.”
