    THIS REPORT CONTAINS ASSESSMENTS OF COMMODITY AND TRADE ISSUES MADE BY USDA STAFF AND NOT NECESSARILY STATEMENTS OF OFFICIAL U.S. GOVERNMENT POLICY Required Report - public distribution Date: 12/18/2015 GAIN Report Number: TW15044 Taiwan Food Processing Ingredients Enter a Descriptive Report Name Approved By: Mark Ford Prepared By: Cindy Chang Report Highlights: extremely competitive, there are still great opportunities for U.S. exporters. U.S. exports of high value food products to Taiwan reached US$1.3 billion in 2014 and this trend is expected to continue for the next several years. Imports of premium food items from other countries has been increasing, but U.S. products continue to be well-accepted by Taiwan consumers due to competitive prices and consumer confidence in the quality and safety of U.S. food products. Taiwan is the United States’ seventh largest agricultural export market due in part to the great success in the food processing and ingredients sector. Post: Taipei ATO Executive Summary: SECTION I. MARKET SUMMARY Taiwan Food Processing and Ingredients Sector Overview and Trends Opportunities exist to expand U.S. food product sales to Taiwan’s food processing and ingredient sector. Given Taiwan’s current size and population, the country will continue the trend of looking overseas for food processing and ingredients. In 2014, Taiwan’s agricultural industry accounts for less than 2% of GDP and only 5% of employment in Taiwan. Taiwan’s food processing and ingredients industry is comprised of the following major sectors: beverage, coffee/cocoa, condiments/seasonings, dairy products, fats/oils, flour/ bakery products, fruits/vegetables, meat/poultry products, snack foods, and sugar and confectionery.
