with Taiwan in the agricultural sphere, according to Minister without Portfolio John Deng (鄧振中).
In an interview with CNA at the end of September, Deng said Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam and Myanmar have all taken the initiative to seek cooperation with Taiwan, hoping to increase the value of their agricultural products and improve their farming skills.
The trend bodes well for Taiwan’s future exports of seeds, farm machines and equipment, and related agricultural products to countries covered by the New Southbound Policy, which should grow by more than 5 percent annually, Deng said.
Also, overall agricultural trade with those countries will grow over 10 percent per year, he said. [FULL STORY]
