Su Chiao-hui Pledges Support for Farmers, Proposes Elder Card for Farm Products

Legislator Su Chiao-hui, a candidate for New Taipei mayor, attended a joint meeting of the Haishan District Farmers' Association and Xinzhuang District Farmers' Association on July 21st. She expressed her commitment to becoming a strong advocate for farmers and promoting New Taipei's high-quality agricultural products.

“

I hope that in the future, I can be the strongest backing for the farmers' associations and farmers, and market more high-quality New Taipei agricultural products.

Su highlighted Taiwan's advanced agricultural technology and New Taipei's array of premium local produce, including Jinshan sweet potatoes, Sanzhi wild rice, Tamsui pumpkins, Sanxia honey black tea, and Wugu green bamboo shoots. She aims to collaborate with district farmers' associations to expand sales channels and enhance brand marketing for these products, emphasizing the goal of not just selling goods but also elevating the New Taipei brand.

She reiterated her "Six Major Welfare Policies," which include an upgraded elder card program. This initiative would increase monthly points to 1,000 and broaden usage, potentially allowing seniors to purchase farm products with their elder cards. Su also plans to increase investment in farmers' associations, expand cold chain subsidies, and encourage cross-district collaboration for marketing New Taipei's agricultural offerings.

“

The elder card upgrade plan will not only increase the points to 1,000 per month but also expand its scope of use, allowing seniors to use the elder card to purchase farm products.

Furthermore, Su intends to leverage New Taipei's position as the largest consumer market in Taiwan to promote local produce nationwide and globally. Simultaneously, she plans to introduce agricultural products from across the country to New Taipei residents, ensuring access to the freshest and highest quality goods.

“

We will not only sell products but also polish the New Taipei brand.
