Chinese feed corn does not represent policy shift: COA

TAIPEI, Taiwan -- The Council of Agriculture has refuted a media report that accused the government of covertly opening Taiwan's doors wider to Chinese agricultural goods by importing feed corn, saying feed corn purchases from China were being made to meet supply shortages.

The Ma Ying-jeou administration has been adamant that it will not open Taiwan any further to Chinese agricultural products in a proposed economic cooperation framework agreement (ECFA) with China, a ledge that has been received with skepticism by the potential deal's critics.

The media report said Taiwan was opening its doors to feed corn and other grains to curry favor with China, but the Council of Agriculture argued Sunday that Chinese feed corn was being imported on a spot basis to meet emergency needs.
