Floods, Typhoons, Pests, COVID-19 Taiwan Fruit Facing Various Problems

Taiwan's fruit farmers have been facing a variety of problems in recent years. In Taiwan, there is a growing movement to save the fruit farmers. In an effort to save pineapple farmers, who have been hit hard by China's suspension of imports due to pests, pineapple fairs have been held in department stores across Taiwan, and there have been calls on the Internet to eat Taiwanese pineapples more willingly.
In an effort to save mango farmers from the reputational damage caused by the outbreak of the COVID-19 delta strain in their production area, Jason's Fruits , a popular fruit parlor in Taipei's East District, is offering a service to process its famous Aiwen mangoes into dried fruits and send them to Japanese consumers. The dried mangoes, of which only two can be made from one mango, are thick, sweet, and naturally flavorful, and cost 150 yuan (about 615 yen) per bag. The dried mangoes, which were originally popular among Japanese people, are now being resold in response to the recent uproar. The product can be purchased from the Hyakkaen's Japanese website, and has been well received by Japanese people who have lost interest in Taiwan.

Fruits can be harvested all year round Taiwan, the fruit kingdom

Taiwan, also known as the fruit kingdom, harvests a wide variety of fruits throughout the year. Due to its subtropical and warm climate, tropical fruits that are rarely seen in Japan are sold in the market and have become an essential source of daily vitamins for Taiwanese people. Taiwan's fruits have received high praise from overseas for their sweetness and quality, and are exported to many countries, but in recent years they have been facing various crises. Flood damage caused by global warming, damage from typhoons, and damage from insect pests have become more serious each year, and have become a major blow. In February 2021, China banned the export of Taiwanese pineapples due to the detection of pests. In June, a case of COVID-19 delta was reported in Fangshan, a mango-growing area, and this led to the cancellation of mango orders one after another.
