Exports to Japan have begun as a new sales channel for Taiwan's specialty fruit, Shakato, which China has stopped importing, and the first shipping work has been carried out at the wholesale market in Narita City, Chiba Prefecture.
Exports to Japan began with Taiwan's specialty fruit, pineapple apple apple.
The first flight arrived at Narita Airport on the 16th, and the first shipping work was done on the 17th at the wholesale market near the airport.
More than 90% of Taiwanese pineapple shakato was previously exported to China, but the Chinese government stopped importing it in September, saying that "pests were detected".
With the growing view that it is part of China's pressure on Taiwan, Taiwanese authorities want to make Japan a new sales channel, which they had not previously exported.
Pineapple Shakato has a moderate acidity while being sweet, and is characterized by a pineapple-like aroma and an elastic texture.
In Japan, it is necessary to import in a frozen state for quarantine reasons, but in order to maintain the taste and quality, we are taking measures such as quick freezing, so export is expected to start in earnest until January. ..
A person in charge of the importer said, "It is said to be a natural ice cream with a sugar content of 20 degrees or more. I want it to be like a bridge between Japan and Taiwan."
