industry, local chocolate makers have also created new flavors of chocolate such as tea,
fruit, and pepper for the past few years. Starting in 2016, this newly emerging cocoa

industry in Pingtung went on to win international fame. In years 2018 and 2019, Taiwanese
chocolate makers won numerous top prizes in the International Chocolate Award (ICA)’s

World Finals. The rise of Taiwan’s chocolate industry and its wonderful results even gave
the country the honor of hosting the ICA’s Asia-Pacific competition in 2019.
Even then, the industry is facing a problem. Not many chocolate eaters in Taiwan go

for local products. To meet local taste, chocolate makers have come up with a variety of
fine chocolates. They hope that as more people learn to appreciate and buy fine chocolate,

the domestic market will take off. Encouraged by their success in global competitions,
the chocolate makers are also targeting at the global market. They are eager to win over

chocolate lovers worldwide with the delicate flavors of Taiwanese chocolate.（摘要：台
灣在地培育出優質巧克力的過程與展望。）

可可樹一開始是日本在殖民台灣島時，他們從印尼帶到台灣。但是，日本人無法克服種植這個作
物的困難。一直到大約 20 年前，台灣的農夫才成功培植這熱帶植物。
感謝現代的科技，屏東當地農民能夠生產出更好品質的豆子來做成優良的巧克力。為了促進巧克
力業，當地巧克力製造者也在過去幾年，開創出新口味的巧克力，例如茶香，水果味，和胡椒味。
屏東這個新崛起的可可行業從 2016 年開始，不斷贏得國際享譽。在 2018 與 2019 年，台灣巧克力製
造者在世界巧克力大賽 (ICA) 的世界決賽中獲得數不盡的最高獎。台灣巧克力業的崛起和它優秀的成
果甚至給予這個國家去主辦 2019 年世界巧克力大賽裡的亞洲 - 太平洋競賽的榮譽。

即便那個時候，這個行業也面臨一個問題。台灣並沒有很多的吃巧克力者愛好在地產品。為了符
合當地口味，巧克力製造者已經想出各式各樣的優良巧克力。他們希望當越多人學會欣賞並購買優良
巧克力，國內市場將會起飛。那些巧克力製造者受到他們在全球競賽的成功所鼓舞，他們也將目標對
準全球市場。他們渴望以台灣巧克力的精美風味去獲取全球的巧克力愛好者。
