Lin Yi-lung emphasizes that because Taiwan is in the subtropics, insect damage is greater here than in Japan. And the oriental fruit fly, which has plagued Taiwan for more than a decade, has damaged fruit crops of all kind. As a consequence, perhaps crops simply can't be expected to be as successful here as they are in Japan.
林義隆強調，由於台灣地處亞熱帶，病蟲害較日本嚴重，加上十幾年前由境外移入的「東方果實蠅」，對果實造成普遍傷害，所以整體質量也許無法像日本那麼成功。
