In the same way, after the sales price of the sweet persimmon, which originally had a very high unit price, climbed to its peak in 2002, one could see farmers from Hsinchu to Pingtung rushing to grow the fruit. The following year the price suddenly collapsed and hasn't recovered to this day. This episode had the further effect of forcing down the price of the hard persimmon along with it.
同樣地，原本單價甚高的甜柿價格在民國九十一年攀上頂峰後，從新竹到屏東都可以看到農民搶種甜柿，第二年價格馬上崩盤，一直到今年都沒有起色，影響所及，使得硬柿價格也跟著下跌。
