Deputy Mayor Chao’s Remarks:
1. The media and City Council members have raised concerns regarding children's rights and the educational environment. The Social Affairs Bureau, Education Bureau, Civil Affairs Bureau, and Department of Information and International Relations are urged to collaborate in addressing these concerns, aiming to expedite the response to media inquiries and ensure the timely clarification of public opinion. This will solidify the sustained endeavors achieved through the dedicated efforts of frontline colleagues.
2. For some agricultural products that have suffered from poor harvests due to climate or epidemic diseases, the Agriculture Bureau must promptly take control of the situation. Upon the decision by the Ministry of Agriculture that applications can be submitted for subsidy, the Agriculture Bureau must promptly notify Farmers' Associations and major institutions, ensuring that farmers are aware of their rights and interests. Additionally, the Agriculture Bureau is urged to continue encouraging farmers to enroll in agricultural insurance programs, utilizing the system to safeguard farmers' rights and interests.
3. The output and value of agricultural products in Tainan City rank among the top three in the country. As output can significantly influence prices, the Agriculture Bureau is urged to manage marketing and sales proactively to stabilize prices and ensure that farmers' incomes remain secure. With the impending enactment of the "Agreement between New Zealand and the Separate Customs Territory of Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen, and Matsu on Economic Cooperation" in 2025, the Agriculture Bureau is tasked with advocating for the interests of current dairy farmers to the central government, safeguarding their rights amidst potential changes.
