Taiwan’s government is promising rapid financial relief for farmers after Typhoon Champi caused widespread agricultural damage over the weekend. Premier Cho Jung-tai has urged the agriculture ministry to disburse assistance within three days of receiving applications. The typhoon brought gale-force winds that damaged crops, leading to total estimated agricultural losses of around US$6 million.
