Recently, Japan is experiencing a rice shortage, and Taiwanese rice is becoming increasingly prominent. The Fangrong Rice Factory in Tainan's Houbi District has made its first export of 500 tons of Taiwanese rice to Japan. According to statistics from the Ministry of Agriculture, from January to May this year, the amount of Taiwanese rice exported to Japan has increased to six times that of the same period last year.

As the container door closes, Mayor Huang Weizhe expresses his honor in facilitating this exchange, stating that it is a great opportunity for Japanese consumers to taste Taiwanese rice. Due to a shortage of domestic rice in Japan, the import of Taiwanese rice has rapidly increased, marking a new chapter for Tainan rice with this successful export by Fangrong Rice Factory.

The mayor emphasized that the quality of Taiwanese rice has been recognized, and the Japanese government’s willingness to accept Taiwanese rice is a very friendly gesture. Recently, a Japanese television station even produced a program comparing Taiwanese rice with Japanese rice, and surprisingly, even Japanese people couldn’t tell the difference, as the texture and aroma are quite similar, showcasing the international competitiveness of Taiwanese rice.
