"passion fruit is currently developing rapidly in Asia. There are nearly 8 million seedlings exported to Vietnam, Thailand, and China alone, with an output value of nearly NT $300 million, while the market is still growing, and it is estimated that it will exceed 9 million this year." At present, agricultural administration units are promoting the new southward direction of agriculture, and in the eyes of the Agriculture and Food Department, "passion fruit seedlings" is a potential extension project. at present, the Agricultural Research Institute has introduced passion fruit virus immune serum and nucleic acid testing reagents, which can effectively detect six kinds of passion fruit virus diseases. it is hoped that this will help the industry to control the quality of passion fruit seedlings from the source and improve the quality of export.

What is the current situation of passion fruit industry? Fang Yidan, head of the crop production team of the Agriculture and Food Department, said that in recent years, the domestic passion fruit planting area has fallen steadily in the range of 680,700 hectares, with Dapingding in Puli as an important town. Although the Kaohsiung Agricultural improvement Farm also intends to help Kaohsiung farmers cultivate passion fruit in winter, not only to avoid Rain Water, typhoons, diseases and insect pests, but also to give birth a month earlier than Puli, Li Wenhao, an assistant researcher at the Kaohsiung Agricultural Reform Farm, says frankly that the cultivation of passion fruit in the south still needs to be promoted.

At present, the domestic production of passion fruit fresh fruit is mainly to meet the domestic demand market. "the domestic price is good, 60, 70 yuan per kilogram, or even more than 100, so there is no export." On the contrary, it is passion fruit seedlings that have become the main export force. According to the Agriculture and Food Administration, there are now six domestic seedling companies promoting the export of passion fruit seedlings, which have great market potential.
