Taiwan: Dairy and Products Annual
Demand for milk and other dairy products in Taiwan are forecast to remain stable or rise slightly in 2017. Fluid milk imports surged to 24,034 metric tons (MT) in the first nine months of 2016, up 40 percent from the same period last year. Strong demand has caused the tariff quota for milk to fill earlier than it has in past years. However, high tariffs for out-of-quota imports and Taiwan’s special safeguard mechanism (SSG) are expected to restrict total imports.
