Taiwan: Fresh Deciduous Fruit Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

In MY2014/15, Taiwan imported a total of 156,007 metric tons (MT) of apples, valued at nearly US$240 million. Apples are the most popular imported fruit in Taiwan, and the Fuji apple remains the favorite variety accounting for 90% of total retail. In MY2014/15, U.S. apple exports increased nearly 29% from the previous year to 64,264 MT, and Post forecasts the United States will maintain its position as the leading supplier of apples to Taiwan in MY2015/16 due to an anticipated record harvest. Meanwhile, domestic apple production continues to decline and currently meets less than one percent of domestic demand.
