The head of the Agricultural Products Office, Mr. Su Maoxiang, states that typhoons hit Taiwan again and again in September, severely disrupting the banana production bases in the centre and the South of the island. The small quantity has caused an upsurge of the price that will only stabilise in March at the earliest. This is when the Spring season bananas of the Gaobing region will be ready for supply to the market. So if citizens are of a mind to eat fruit, they are advised to eat oranges, tangerines and similar seasonal fruits, followed by the production season of dates and wax apples that will allow for a broader choice of fruits.
Mrs. Huang grumbles that "one bunch costs more than 140 NTD (or 33.4 HKD), you can eat two meals with that. It's that expensive! I really can't buy it." But Mr. Liao expresses that "when the typhoons came in the past, the bananas weren't that expensive either. The government must act on this. The typhoon can't be given all responsibility for the price surge."
