An FDC from Taiwan, sent by S Chuang.
The FDC is from the Food Crop series issued on 5 March 2013. On the cover, Chuang affixed one paddy stamp and two postage labels that show a panda. The special cancel of the issue features a paddy stalk. There are three ordinary cancels applied on the cover as well. The postmark date is 5 March 2013, with one cancel shows a different date: 6 March 2013.
This is the back of the FDC. Thanks a lot S Chuang!
