Plans to build an incinerator have been met with strong opposition from farmers in Taiwan’s largest tea-producing area in Nantou’s Mingjian Township. On Friday, farmers traveled to the capital to voice their concerns at the Executive Yuan. They hope to stop the project by the local county government. Let’s hear more.

Resident
Nantou
Hsu Shu-hua is an unqualified county commissioner. She misled us, claiming that the Muzha incinerator in Taipei is right next to where tea is grown in Wenshan. But that’s not true! The plant is 14.5km away. The incinerator in Mingjian is only 2km away from our plantations in Songboling. If the wind blows north, it will impact all the tea-growing area.

How could the Ministry of Finance just decide to transfer the land to the Nantou County Government? The fact that they did reveals a serious flaw in our national land allocation system. We urge the Executive Yuan to address this problem.

Mr. Lin
Fruit farmer
The county government is using heavy-handed tactics and abusing public power to pressure citizens. This is something we do not want to see. We hope the Executive Yuan will take back the land designated for the incinerator.

The Nantou County Government is proposing to build an incinerator in Mingjian Township, but the selected site lies within a designated agricultural zone, surrounded by tea plantations, orchards and farmland. The plan has triggered a backlash from local farmers and environmental groups, who question the legality of the land allocation process and claim it violates environmental impact assessment procedures. A recent second-stage environmental review meeting even saw intense clashes between police and protesters.
