The production of Ponkan in Taiwan as well as the growing demand of Ponkan in the global market has resulted in a very limited supply, said Managing Director of First Emporium Group in Brunei Darussalam Lim Kian Seng. He made these comments at the launching of the 2020 Taichung City Premium Ponkan Agricultural product fair at Warisan Utama Jaya, Sungai Tilong yesterday.

The premium sweet and juicy mandarin orange Ponkan is one of the favourite fruits to have during Chinese New Year celebrations in the country.

“With the impact of the climate change, the production of Taiwan Ponkan for 2020 has decreased. We have a shortage of supply this year. Fortunately our supply of Ponkan is exclusively selected by Taichung City Government,” he said.

Some of the fruits brought into the country for the 2020 Taichung City Premium Ponkan Agricultural product fair, he revealed “are broccoli, green union, lettuce, cauliflower, pineapple, dragon fruit and grapes.”    [FULL  STORY]
