There are 500 households culture Akoya oysters in Bigwell village, leading pearl farmers are Li Er, Xie Linfa, Li Zhaoli, Xie Yongxin and so on. More than 100,000,000 Akoya oysters died
Those farmers have been picking died oysters on their farms to take out immature pearls for 7 days. They sell those pearls to pharmaceutical factories and arts & crafts studios. Unit price is at 800 yuan(US$125) per kilogram.Yesterday Xie Weixue’s wife told me that Xie Weixue had not eaten any food for three days, because he is frustrated by losses.
Up to now, the local government has not adopted aid measures to those poor farmers, who are very disappointed at the government.
It is high time that generous businesspeople donated money to them.
