Domestic soy milk soft-serve, supporting soybean farmers while beating the heat! The Taichung City Darenwu Agricultural Products Marketing Cooperative has teamed up with FamilyMart convenience stores and Rongting Investment Co., Ltd. to jointly launch thick soy milk soft-serve, almond tofu sundaes, soybean butter bread, sesame soy milk angel cake, and black tea soy milk cake boxes, all made with the domestic soybean variety "Kaohsiung Selection No. 10," boosting the use of domestic soybeans.

Chen Jian-wei, general manager of the Taichung City Darenwu Agricultural Products Marketing Cooperative, said that although domestic soybeans are priced higher than imported ones, public support for domestic soybeans has been growing in recent years, which has encouraged retailers to lend their support. With this collaboration with FamilyMart, 45 metric tons of domestic soybeans will be used in a year. He expressed gratitude for the guidance of the Taiwan Grain Development Foundation and the assistance of the Agriculture and Food Agency for making this collaboration possible. FamilyMart stated that 80% of its fresh food offerings use domestic ingredients, and the launch of these new domestic coarse grain products is intended to use the power of its retail network to support local farmers.
