During the typhoon "Lion Rock" struck Hong Kong, two consecutive days of heavy storms and rains started yesterday. Many organic farms in the northern New Territories suffered flooding due to heavy rainfall. Some farmers said that the nearby New Territories North Bypass project had insufficient drainage capacity, resulting in flooding of nearby farmland. In addition, the storm came so quickly and urgently that it was too late to take precautions, and the budget was greatly missed. The vegetable seedlings planted on the autumn equinox were all reimbursed. It is expected that the supply of local dishes in the next few weeks will be affected.
Insufficient drainage of the bypass project site damages nearby farmland
The typhoon caused a lot of rainfall. Yesterday morning, it rose from yellow rain to black rain warning within 1.5 hours. There were flooding in several organic farms in Sheung Shui, Ta Kwu Ling, Fanling, etc. Among them, there were 1.5 buckets (about 1,000 James, an organic farmer of farmland, said that the adjacent Fanling Bypass project is in progress. As there is only one large canal in the site for drainage, the rainfall yesterday was far beyond the acceptable range, so water began to accumulate on the site and then flooded. Dip nearby four farms.
He also pointed out that this time the typhoon and rain are coming too fast, and the observatory has only been hoisting wave No. 3, and it has only changed to No. 8 incident so far. Many farmers have not had time to prepare crops for wind and rain. They just happen to be here. Last month’s autumn equinox (23rd), the seedlings were planted and the harvest is expected to be harvested in one month’s time. Take his farm as an example. The flooding caused corn, lettuce seedlings, coriander and Luo Bai roots to be soaked with water. All reimbursements. After retreat, the farmland can only be replanted after it has changed from wet to dry. It is expected that the harvest of the crops will be delayed for 20 to 30 days, which will definitely affect the supply of local vegetables.
Farmer: After the water recedes, the farmland can be dried and replanted
Sister Qin, who owns eight buckets (approximately 5392 square meters) of farmland in Hokyao, Fanling, said that since about a month ago, a total of more than 1,000 yuan of vegetable seedlings were purchased for planting in the field. Among them, the status of Qidou Nong is in the lower reaches, and flooding has occurred successively. Except for the crops in the shed protected by nets, the remaining kale, cabbage core, tomato, sugar lettuce, sago, broccoli and broccoli, etc. There is a good chance of reimbursement for crops, and the loss can only be counted after the water recedes.
Asan, the founder of Sow & Grow, the founder of Sow & Grow, who has cooperated with several organic farms, said that the northeastern New Territories agricultural land such as Sheung Shui, Shaling, and Fanling were all affected by flooding to varying degrees. Some farms were affected by the Northeast New Territories project and their drainage capacity was weakened. The flooding of farmland means that local farmers rely on the sky for food, and the weather is often the first to bear the brunt. Nowadays, many farmers are rushing to harvest the fruits and vegetables in season before the storm and sell them to reduce losses. I hope that the public will support local dishes.
Heavy rains will affect the supply of local vegetables in the next few weeks.
