Introducing upgraded bananas to Tokyo Olympic Village

The Agency has worked with the government agencies in Shizuoka Prefecture, Ibaraki Prefecture and Mie Prefecture, Japan to introduce Taiwanese bananas to elementary and junior high school lunches in Japan. To comply with the food supply regulations of the Tokyo Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, bananas have been upgraded from TGAP to TGAP PLUS in preparation for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.
 
Produce world-renowned Taiwanese specialty coffee

Since 2021, the Agency has worked with the Alliance of Coffee Excellence (ACE) to raise the visibility of Taiwanese specialty coffee to introduce the international coffee auction system. Through the Cup of Excellence (COE), the select national specialty coffee team is put on the Private Collection Auction (PCA) for consumers across the globe to bid online. PCA creates a perfect connection between Taiwanese coffee and international specialty coffee markets.
 
Export a variety of domestic fruits and vegetables

To raise the visibility of Taiwanese fruits and vegetables, the AFA introduces the quality and safety management system for orchards for export, where farmers, agriculture production and marketing groups and farmer groups are guided to use pesticides safely and sign letters of intent with exporters; in addition to encouraging exporters to register as the “export crops supply chain,” the AFA also counsels orchards and packing yards on how to manage health and safety and quality and implements three-tier quality management for export fruits.
