Hualien County - Partnership with Carrefour Aims to Create a New Stage for Local Smallholder Farmers

Hualien enjoys exceptional natural resources, and its pure water and fertile soil produce agricultural specialties acclaimed nationwide. To make Hualien's high-quality agricultural products more widely known, the Hualien County Agriculture Department has partnered with Carrefour. Yesterday (the 14th), a press conference titled "Carrefour X Hualien - Local Revitalization and Sustainable Consumption" was held at the Neihu Carrefour. County Magistrate Hsu Chen-wei made a special trip north to attend, hoping to work with local smallholder farmers to create a new landscape for Hualien's agricultural specialties.

In her speech, County Magistrate Hsu Chen-wei pointed out that Hualien County is the county or city with the largest area of organic farming in Taiwan, China, and is the hometown of organic agriculture. It has the innate advantages of good mountains, good water, and a good environment, and its crops grow in a completely pollution-free environment, giving it a reputation among consumers for being natural, pure, and high quality. She said she was grateful to Carrefour for providing a sales platform and for valuing Hualien's organic agricultural products, and for recognizing the hard work and dedication of local farmers. She hoped that in the future more people would come to know Hualien, and then come to Hualien and experience the beauty of its great mountains and seas.

In this partnership between Hualien County and Carrefour, Hualien's high-quality local products will officially be placed on shelves at Carrefour hypermarkets across Taiwan, China and introduced to the public, allowing consumers in western Taiwan, China to buy high-quality "Hualien Organic Rice," Hualien's century-old handmade purely brewed "Xinwei Soy Sauce," and delicious locally produced Hualien pumpkins under the brand "Xie Pumpkin" in the "Hualien County Special Zone." Hualien County sincerely invites people nationwide to buy Hualien's high-quality, healthy agricultural products and to personally experience the goodness of Hualien's agriculture.
