1. Taiwanese Pork Debuts at a Famous Singapore Restaurant

Taiwanese pork is making its way to international markets, with great news continuously emerging. After years of effort, following the opening of the Philippine market to Taiwanese fresh pork in early 2023, Taiwan has once again achieved a significant milestone. To capitalize on this opportunity and introduce Taiwanese fresh pork and processed products to Singaporean consumers, Taiwan's Ministry of Agriculture, in collaboration with Singapore's renowned restaurant "House of Seafood," launched a promotional campaign from December 13^th to 28^th. The campaign features a Taiwanese pork-themed meal set, which includes classic Taiwanese dishes such as minced pork rice, sausages, and meatball soup, allowing Singaporean consumers to experience authentic Taiwanese flavors made from Taiwanese pork and further strengthen the brand image of Taiwanese pork in the Singaporean market.
