The COVID-19 outbreak is continuing to grow. People choose to reduce going out as protection for themselves and order home-delivered meals or self-cooking instead, creating a unique aero contact business opportunity as an anti-pandemic lifestyle. Farmers’ Associations of the New Taipei Government follow this trend, launching the “Tasty Agriculture Products Drive-through” service in this campaign against the epidemic.
Farmers’ Association of Shenkeng, Tamsui, Shulin, Jinshan, and Banqiao Districts focus on group buying service, initiating team buying activities on Facebook fan pages to sell fresh agricultural and fishery products, for example, onion, pineapple, squid, milkfish, etc. and cooked food including flaky scallion pancakes, wine chicken, rice burger, etc. Even daily necessities related to epidemic prevention are offered. Customers only need to leave a message under the Facebook post and can pick up goods at the supermarket at the specified time. It is convenient and fast to use mobile devices to shop online. Farmers’ Association of New Taipei City and Farmers’ Association of Tucheng District also initiate live stream broadcasting activities to introduce products. Customers can choose to pick up at supermarkets or enjoy home delivery services, reducing the risk of going out. All groups buying products are limited in time and quantity. Follow Facebook fan pages for the latest news!
Shi-Shuei Lin, Director of the Farmers’ Association of New Taipei City, said that Farmers’ Associations Supermarkets sell agricultural products and processed agricultural products with guaranteed quality, not to aim at making profits. All farmers’ association supermarkets in New Taipei City fully cooperate to promote the “Tasty Agriculture Products Drive-through” service to sell high-quality agricultural products to the public without worrying about the epidemic.
Wen Lee, the Commissioner of the Agriculture Department, said that with the COVID-19 outbreak continuing to grow, all farmers’ associations and supermarkets had implemented epidemic prevention measures such as wearing masks, disinfecting, and checking everyone’s temperature. Now concerning the fast-food industry’s concept of drive-through, New Taipei City Government provides the “Tasty Agriculture Products Drive-through” service to reduce the shopping time of people who come to supermarkets and use mobile payment to lessen checkout time, reduce exposure time, and pollution risks with currencies. Citizens are welcome to use various sales channels to buy fresh farming products and cook at home. The Agriculture Department invites everyone to shop in Farmers’ Association Supermarkets and to support small-scale farmers in New Taipei City, to share the benefit of zero contact business opportunities.
