Taiwan Agricultural Mission Impact

Taiwan's agricultural team is actively assisting partner countries in Central America, Africa, and the Caribbean by introducing advanced farming and processing technologies. This includes the cultivation of high-quality fruits and the introduction of juice processing techniques, such as sugarcane juice, which have become popular in these regions. In Saint Lucia, a focus on tourism and tropical fruit cultivation has led to high fruit prices due to limited supply. The introduction of Taiwanese juice technology has had a significant impact on local communities, enhancing their market success and appreciation for Taiwanese agricultural products.
