Luo Zhengzong, director of the Southern District of the Agriculture and Food Administration, said that due to the long-term lack of rain, the bamboo leaves have turned yellow and dried up. The disaster survey of other townships in Chiayi County will be completed this week, and the damage situation will be reported to the Council of Agriculture as soon as possible.

The farmer said helplessly that this was the first time he had encountered such a situation. The lack of water made it useless for irrigation. The soil could not hold the water, which led to the lack of water at the roots of the bamboo, and the leaves turned yellow and withered. Now is the time when the bamboo leaves should flourish, but But the whole tree is bare, and the bamboo leaves are yellow and falling off. It may not be harvested for more than a year after replanting, and my heart is bleeding.

Shen Junmei, head of the Agriculture Section, said that the bamboo shoots in Chiayi County are mostly distributed in non-irrigated areas, which are only irrigated by rainwater. It is now a growing season, and the leaves are growing to accumulate energy. Because there is no rain this year, a large number of bamboo leaves have dried up. Bamboo leaves may be difficult to produce. Farmers can only save the mother plant to prevent the whole plant from dying. More than 300 hectares of hemp bamboo shoots in Dalin Township are almost wiped out, and the situation of another 400 hectares of black-shelled green bamboo shoots is not optimistic.

Legislator Chen Mingwen said that the drought caused serious damage to bamboo shoots in Chiayi. The bamboo planting area in Dalin Township is relatively large, and most of the bamboo leaves have dried up. The comprehensive survey will be completed within a few days, and the results of the survey will be reported to the Council of Agriculture, hoping that the Council of Agriculture will approve natural disaster relief as soon as possible.

Xu Youjiang, mayor of Dalin Township, pointed to the bamboo shoots on the ground and said that even the newly grown bamboo shoots were killed. It can be seen that the drought has had a huge impact. A large area of ​​bamboo leaves on the site withered and fell off. Bamboo cannot carry out photosynthesis, which seriously affects the production of bamboo shoots. Notified the Department of Agriculture in mid-March, and hoped that the Council of Agriculture would start rescue and help farmers as soon as possible.
