Agriculture and Fisheries Bureau

History of the Bureau

The Agriculture and Fisheries Bureau of Penghu County Government was formerly known as the Agriculture Division (within the County) of Penghu County Government and it was reorganized as the Agriculture and Fisheries Bureau of Penghu County (Level I Institution outside the County) on December 23, 1999 and officially named the Agriculture and Fisheries Bureau of Penghu County Government on July 1, 2007, then it was reorganized again on July 1, 2011 and currently is part of the Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Division, Fisheries Counseling Division, Fisheries Management Division, Ecological Conservation Division, Administration Division, Accounting Division, and Personnel Division setup. In addition, there are three secondary institutions set up, including Penghu County Forestry and Park Management Center, Penghu County Animal Disease Control and Prevention Center, and Penghu County Aquatic Seedlings Farm, which are responsible for agriculture, animal husbandry, fishery, farmers’ association and fishermen’s association counseling, agriculture produce and fishery products delivery and sale, natural ecological conservation, livestock, and aquatic disease prevention and control, aquatic seedlings, forestation, landscaping, and green beautification, and park maintenance and management business. Due to the natural geographical environment, the County is a difficult place for the growth of plants. However, there is potential for the development of fisheries. The animal husbandry industry that relies on plantation feed is also limited. In order to revitalize the agriculture and fisheries of this County, the Agriculture Committee and other relevant units have helped implement a number of development plans over the years, such as: the development of agriculture and animal husbandry, the development of fisheries, conservation of marine resources, processing and distribution of agricultural and fishery products, construction of windbreaks and green grasslands, and agricultural and fishing village community environment improvement in order to improve the income of farmers and fishermen and to improve the quality of community living environments through such effort and cooperation.
