County Mayor Huang Jianting and Speaker Rao Qingling went to Yishan Village in Yanping Township on the 9th to understand the mining, yield and acquisition situation, and beat plum trees with bamboo poles to experience harvesting.

With the fine weather this year, the production of green plum in Taitung has greatly increased, and some candied US dollar food companies in other counties and cities have made contracts with Luye Township, Guanshan Town, and Chi Shang Township for NT $15 per kilogram, which is higher than the market price of NT $12. At present, the total number of households under contract is 422.7 metric tons, and the target is to reach 500m tons. The company will set up a candied fruit processing plant in Taitung from this year to take root in Taitung. It is believed that through the contract between the company and M.G.K.
