In early March, it is the beginning of Spring when the weather is most beautiful. The onions cultivated in Hengchun Peninsula taste even sweeter after enduring a whole winter of vigorous winds. In these endless onion fields, even without the presence of flowers and willows, possess a certain blissfulness from the onion farmer’s smiles. This joy is also shared during the harvest season, where towards the end of every year till February of the following year, onions are ready to be harvested. This is the greatest gift from mother earth. Onion has a crispy texture and rich aroma. Whether it is fried or boiled, it’s spiciness contains a sweetness that can be directly mixed hot or cold while preventing the loss of nutrients. It seems as if onion can make any recipe more tasteful by bringing any dish to its’ full flavor. Onion fried with egg, cooked with soup, borscht, are all simple recipes yet carry the most unforgettable tastes.

Although the duration of two of the largest onion production areas are as long as half a year, the market supply remains insufficient. Sometimes due to unsatisfactory climate factors, onions are oversupplied which cause prices to plummet. Fortunately, onions are extremely easy to preserve. The Agroest Agricultural Products Co. Ltd. has taken advantage of the best production period to purchase and store large quantities of onions. Therefore, even during non-peak seasons where supply faces shortage, this problem can be solved by supplying imported onions. This allows for onions to be enjoyed all year along, adjust to market demand, as well as stabilize the price of onions. Following the successful experience of regulating the production and sales of onions, the Agroest Agricultural Products Co. Ltd. has set mid-to-long term goals by assisting Pingtung County in establishing import and export platforms for products such as: mango, lotus, pineapple, lemon, pasture, and other agricultural items. In the same time, Agroest Agricultural Products Co. Ltd sets to expand its business as well as help farmers mitigate any potential disaster or hardship.
