You may have waited longer this year to get a taste of loquat fruits, but you definitely won't be disappointed. The delay caused by the colder weather has actually made the fruit sweeter, which successfully created additional export opportunities for farmers.

These are many games in the event that helps visitors to get to know loquat.

Mr. Yuan, who has three years of experiences in flower arrangement, fully utilizes the fruits to create a visual order and beauty.

On the other hand, visitors are busy sampling fresh and juicy loquats.

The fruits were introduced to Taiping during the Japanese colonization period, becoming one of the earliest sites to grow loquats in Taiwan.

So far the plantation area is as big as 250 hectares.

Even though several typhoons last year affected the flowering period and the continuous cold fronts this year have reduced the production volume to 250 tons, the sweetness level is up by one to two degrees and the taste is even better.

Given better quality, the prices of loquats this year is raised by 20 to 30 NTD.

And for the first time, the fruit is being exported to Singapore.

Although only one cargo of fruit is booked, it's still a good news for Taiwanese fruit in the international market.
