Yunlin County Magistrate Chang Li-shan emphasized on June 24 that before the central government clarifies, the Land Planning Law should not be implemented hastily. Chang pointed out that the difference between land classification as Agriculture I (Ag I) and Agriculture II (Ag II) in the Land Planning Law needs to be clearly explained to the public by the Ministry of the Interior. Yunlin, having the largest area designated as prime agricultural land (Ag I) in the country, faces local opposition and concerns. The implementation details will be finalized in September. Local officials expressed worries about the law essentially seizing properties and limiting land development opportunities while benefiting others. The Ministry of the Interior reassured that existing rights will not be affected and emphasized mechanisms for major construction projects and sustainable agricultural resources allocation.
