Taiwan: Fresh Deciduous Fruit. Annual 2008. GAIN Report Number TW8068

摘要

The apple is, far and away, the most heavily consumed imported fruit in Taiwan. Fuji, with its sweet taste and firm texture, remains the overwhelmingly favored variety recently accounting for 85% of total retail apple sales. The consumption of apples is not expected to reach the highs seen in the late 1990s but should remain in the 130-145 K mt range through the next several years. The United States should remain the dominant player in the next years with an expected total market share of around 40%.
