Hong Kong people want change of not just the government

About 90% of Hong Kong's food supply is imported, and most of it comes from mainland China. But that's about to change. The outbreak of the novel coronavirus has been causing a lot more people losing confidence in the farm produce from mainland China. There is practically no way for Hong Kong consumers to trace the place of origin of the farm produce they consume. As such, there is an increasing number of Hong Kongers buying locally grown vegetables.

Hong Kongers shop locally grown vegetables not only because of their concern about food safety, but also because of their support for local farming. Mapopo Community Farm is in the city's North District and sells locally grown organic vegetables. Besides, it is a "yellow shop" of Hong Kong's "yellow economy", which encourages people to spend money on protester-friendly businesses. Notwithstanding the rampage of the disease, Hong Kongers are still fighting for democracy.

With local farms such as Mapopo Community Farm, Hong Kongers are provided with a wider range of choices which are, more importantly, healthier and safer. Thus, the Government should not ignore the significance and contribution of local organic farming, nor should it rely so much on the supply from Mainland China as it currently does; Hong Kongers are aware that they have the right not only to choose their government, but also what they eat.
