Taiwan International Fruit and Vegetable Show to highlight potential of local IT sector in helping spur agricultural innovation

Press release

In order to come together and propose complete and effective solutions in Asia's fine agriculture markets, Sphere Exhibits Pte. Ltd. is collaborating with Taiwan trade show organizer My Exhibition, for the Taiwan International Fruit and Vegetable Show (TFVS). The show will receive joint guidance from Taiwan's Head of Agriculture and the city of Kaohsiung when it opens on Nov. 10 and runs until Nov. 12 for the first time at the Kaohsiung Exhibition Center. Running parallel to the second Taiwan International Fishing Exhibit, the agricultural show is expected to attract over 150 companies from 10 nations, and around 5,000 foreign and domestic buyers in total.

The Taiwan International Fruit and Vegetable Show is divided into sections for fresh fruit and vegetables, whole wheat products and nuts, production machinery, transportation machinery and service machinery, as well as seminars on Advantages in Vital Agricultural Technologies, Price Adjustment in Production and Digital Marketing. Covering all aspects of the business, organizers of the show leave no stone unturned as they attempt to display the potential of the Taiwanese market in front of the foreign buyers.

In the past, foreign investment in Taiwan's agriculture has played an extremely important role in helping business grow. But as the environmental effects of any big industry begin to become apparent, the government is beginning to look into new and improved ways to revise Taiwan's agricultural and economic strategies.

Taiwan's machinery industry has seen much competition in recent years, especially against European and American products, and look to gain the edge in sales and service that will bring it success. As the industry launches a campaign to make strides in improving the safety and health of food, it also begins a revolutionary evolution in tactics to accompany progress in biological technology. Given the diversity of Taiwan's food culture, the innovations in food and technology seen at the show will no doubt increase the strength of and the interest in the Taiwanese market.

Food safety has become a universal expectation among global consumers. From green energy to clean cultivation to modern fisheries, Asian countries place the care and quality of food in high demand, and Taiwan has been a driving force in bringing about this revolution. What makes Taiwan's efforts special, however, is the fact that its agricultural sector has the entire world for an audience. If Taiwan's agriculture technology, experienced personnel, booming IT sector and technology establishment can combine to create new leadership in agriculture, Taiwan will not only see increases in sales products and rates, but also an increase in its competitiveness in international markets.

The expo has already seen participation from Malaysia, Thailand, Myanmar, Vietnam, South Africa and the U.S. On the same day, plans have been made for international buyers to meet one-on-one with press to discuss production, international marketing, and other topics.

The international discussion will include the International Fruit Marketing Forum, led by Taiwanese economic experts and heavyweight experts from around the world to present talks. Hopes are that the convention will become the "flagship" fruit and vegetable convention. Additionally, the local government agriculture departments of Taichung, Kaohsiung, Hualien, Pingtung and Tainan together eagerly await the event's beginning.
