Tainan Mayor Huang Weizhe recommended that Tainan pineapple local enterprises subscribe for 1000 cases.

It is now pineapple-rich season. Tainan City-combined with the Shanshang District Peasants' Association, yesterday (14) held a press conference on subscription and marketing of agricultural products in Guili Garden, Shanshan District, jointly marketing Tainong No. 16 sweet pineapple. Tainan Mayor Huang Weizhe appeared as the best salesman to feast on fresh mountain pears and vigorously promote the high nutritional value of pears, which received a warm response from enterprises in the industrial zone on the mountain. More than 1000 cases of pears were subscribed at the scene, and local enterprises supported Tainan farmers with practical actions.

Tainan Mayor Huang Weizhe said that Tainan is one of the hometown of pineapples. The output of pineapples reached 70, 3000 metric tons in the whole year, and the output has not decreased this year. Pineapple exports accounted for 5% of the total output, or about 3,700 metric tons, in the last 108 years. Although export sales have been reduced by the epidemic of COVID-19 this year, the decrease is just offset by the increase in consumption in the domestic market, and pineapple prices remain stable. It did not collapse because of sales promotion, and the overall production and marketing order of pineapples in Tainan can be said to be very good.

The Tainan Municipal Bureau of Agriculture points out that the cultivated area of pineapples in the mountain district is about 300 hectares, and more than 80% of them are sweet pineapples. Sweet honey pineapples are now widely cultivated in the mountains and Minxiong area of Chiayi, and the opportunities on the market are not as large as the number of golden diamonds in Tainan 17.

In order to promote fruits and take care of local farmers, this marketing campaign actively engaged business groups to subscribe. In total, more than 20 enterprises in the mountain industrial zone took action to support local agricultural products, subscribing for more than 1000 boxes of pineapples. Interested people can also order directly from the supply and Marketing Department of the Peasants' Association in Shanshan District (Tel: 06-5783649).
