Taiwan holds a unique competitive position in agricultural innovation and exports. Key export commodities include Golden Diamond Pineapple (penetrating the Japanese market — 10,000+ tonnes exported in 2024), Taiwan Oolong Tea (Da Yu Ling and Lishan high-altitude teas internationally recognised), pomelos, and custard apples. Total agricultural exports: TWD 171 billion (MOA moa.gov.tw), with Japan, Hong Kong, Macau, and Singapore as primary markets.
