Cocoa trees were first brought to Taiwan from Indonesia by the Japanese when they ruled
the island. But, the Japanese could not overcome the difficulties in growing the crop. It was not
until about 20 years ago that Taiwanese farmers succeeded in growing the tropical plant.

Thanks to modern techniques, local farmers in Pingtung ( 屏東 ) are able to produce
better-quality beans that can be made into fine chocolate. In order to promote

chocolateindustry, 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,

chocolate lovers worldwide with the delicate flavors of Taiwanese chocolate.
