Hope Plaza Pingtung Week on the 26th and 27th: Pingtung Mangoes Unstoppably Popular

The Pingtung County Government and the Pingtung County Farmers' Association held a mango and red quinoa agricultural specialty products exhibition and sales promotion event over two days, 5/26-5/27 of ROC year 107, at Taipei Hope Plaza. Nearly 1.7 metric tons of mangoes and 1.3 metric tons of bananas were sold at the event. Due to the enthusiastic response from the public, Pingtung mangoes were unstoppably popular. By Saturday, the public had nearly cleared out all the mango stalls, and additional restocking was arranged, which also sold out. Consumers each carried a bag, saying Pingtung mangoes were super sweet and superb, and that they absolutely had to buy them.

The Pingtung County Government stated that Pingtung County has about 3,914 hectares of mango cultivation area, making it the second-largest mango-producing region in the country. This year's mangoes have high sweetness and full flavor, with rosy-red skin, overflowing fragrance, sweet and smooth flesh, and are deeply loved by domestic consumers, while also being actively exported around the world. Another treasure is Pingtung's specialty crop, the red ruby "red quinoa," which is also in season. It is a characteristic crop of the indigenous peoples and fits the health-conscious trend of recent years. Many folks from the north inquired about red quinoa sales information this time, which shows the charming appeal of red quinoa. The public is also welcome to buy more and choose more; it can be used for tea bags, added to rice, added to dishes, or made into red quinoa donuts. Red quinoa has diverse uses, and everyone is welcome to buy and consume more.

The exhibition and sales fair not only sold seasonal mangoes and bananas, but also freshly marketed Yuhebao lychees, pineapples, onions, papayas, lemons, coffee, cacao, red beans, livestock and fishery products, and various other agricultural products. In the past two days, the weather in the north was hot, and people came to Hope Plaza to cool off, sample fruits and chilled agricultural drinks, and dig into their wallets to sweep up Pingtung County agricultural products. Pingtung Week's popularity remained strong.
