Dried jujube from Kaohsiung is made without using any artificial preservative; instead farmers use natural preservatives like honey and store in room temperature, encouraging the concept of healthy living.

Alongside the Taiwanese Apples (Jujube), Guava, Orange cherry tomato, Wax Apple, dried jujube and dried longan, one of the unique products that Kaohsiung will highlight during their participation at Gulf Food is the heart shaped Anthurium, an Asian symbol of happiness and hospitality.

What makes the produce and Kaohsiung City so unique is its 47,083 hectares of cultivation land which is almost 16% of the total land area of Taiwan. Along with the land, the efforts is further enriched by the Gaoping River running through Kaohsiung providing rich water recourses for the fruits to grow well ensuring the finest quality of Kaohsiung produce.

The Agriculture Bureau of Kaohsiung City Government created the brand “Best of Kaohsiung” a few years ago and expanded the markets in Southeast Asia, Japan, Canada and Germany and was well received by those countries giving Kaohsiung a nickname of “Asian Hawaii”.

Taiwan’s ongoing initiative to strengthen the country’s ties, is further solidified by its participation and attendance in Gulfood 2015. The country’s effort to encourage trade connection with the Middle East creates opportunities for both the UAE and Taiwan in establishing great shared ventures.
