The Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA), a government-sponsored trade promotion organization, said in a post-event statement that the estimate includes US$212 million in procurement orders placed by 15 US buyers and US$204 million in orders placed by nine US sellers.
The result greatly outperformed last year’s event, when combined orders worth US$282 million were placed by 13 US buyers and nine US sellers.
