Chen Wu-hsiung (Chinese: 陳武雄; pinyin: Chén Wǔxióng) is a politician in the Republic of China. He was the Minister of the Council of Agriculture of the Executive Yuan from 2008 to 2012.
In December 2010, Chen said that the agricultural industry in Taiwan was gaining strategic importance due to the growing global food crisis caused by climate change and natural disasters. He stated that the Council of Agriculture (COA) was working towards health, efficiency and sustainability in agriculture, and also building on the growing concern over food safety and quality. The COA also had encouraged farmers to boost agricultural tourism through 242 agritourism farms and ranches across Taiwan. The COA also had promoted the use of non-toxic farming by encouraging farmers to reduce their use of chemical pesticides, synthetic fertilizers and additives during production.
