Secretary for Food & Health Dr York Chow says there is limited room for further adjustment in the ex-gratia payments to chicken farms. He hopes farmers will be pragmatic and realistic in their requests to the Government.
Speaking after attending radio talk shows today, Dr Chow said he understands the farmers want to have more compensation for terminating their business. But he reiterated that the formula for acquiring the proposed amount is based on land resumption.
"In land resumption, we take account of all the facilities they have. We have already included all the facilities and equipment at a price as they are new. We have not deducted any depreciation cost. It is a very generous offer. If they have any justification for any additional demand, they need to give us the details to justify that."
