The topic of pineapple production and sales has drawn attention across Taiwan.

As of now, 11,735 boxes of Kaohsiung pineapples worth 5.86 million yuan have been sold.

The Kaohsiung City Government pointed out that as of the 3rd, about 117 metric tons of Kaohsiung pineapples had been pre-ordered across Taiwan.

In addition, various groups ordered 4,235 boxes, and members of the public spontaneously placed orders for 2,200 boxes through the "Kaohsiung First Choice E-commerce Platform" ( www.khagri.org.tw ). In total, under Mayor Chen Chi-mai's pineapple call to action, 11,735 boxes of pineapples have been sold, with a total value of about 5.86 million yuan.

The Kaohsiung City Government stated that Mayor Chen Chi-mai further emphasized that, besides fresh pineapples, Kaohsiung has many pineapple processed foods, such as the internationally certified pineapple-lychee double-heart pastry and dragon-phoenix pastry, as well as preserved pineapple that can be used in cooking, or pineapple popsicles, all of which are good group-buying treats. He hopes all of Taiwan will continue to support pineapple farmers through action, and welcomes everyone to place orders on the "Kaohsiung First Choice E-commerce Platform," so that Taiwan's farmers can live better and Kaohsiung's agriculture can thrive!
