Organic and Eco-friendly Farming

          Organic farming is an environmentally friendly and sustainable model for agricultural production. The government has also actively promoted related certification system. TSC has been devoted to an eco-friendly farming and organic production for many years and has gradually expanded the scale of cooperation with farmers year by year. In 2020, we released some self-operated farms and organic farming zones for lease and cooperation with young farmers. In 2021, we continued collaborating with farmers.


Promotion of Organic and Eco-friendly Cultivation

          For TSC to assist the government in the promotion of organic cultivation, TSC had contract farming projects with 32 organic farms as of 2021. In addition, to stay in line with the Organic Agriculture Promotion Act, we provide our tenants engaging in organic cultivation with a 10-year lease guarantee and a 40% rent discount to cooperate with the government’s promotion of new agricultural policy for the promotion of organic cultivation.

          As of the end of December 2021, the Company has provided the government 266.09 hectares of leased land for the establishment of a special zone for organic agriculture; the area of other leased farmland for organic crops amounted to 873.38 hectaresand ; 275 young farmers have been assisted to rent 1,563.16 hectares of TSC’s farmland.



Self-operated Organic Agricultural Products

          TSC actively develops its own organic crop cultivation area to continue trial planning and mass production of economic crops. In 2021, the self-operated organic rice verification area reached 94.14 hectares, and the organic fruit and vegetable verification area amounted to 48.11 hectares. In addition, we also worked with great farmers who have passed the organic certification for the contract farming of organic vegetables and fruits (including remunerative organic agricultural products). In 2021, the sales of organic vegetables totaled 575.83 tonnes and those of organic rice amounted to 457.26 tonnes, mainly to schools & group meals, convenience stores and chain channels.

          The production of indigenous soybeans in Taiwan is scarce, and most of the soybeans in Taiwan depend on imports, and the proportion of genetically modified soybeans is as high as 90% and above. Taiwan’s indigenous non GMO soybeans plantation area passed Eurofins 381 items of pesticide residues test. The decrease in the plantation area in 2021 was mainly because of the decrease in market demands and also partly because that the cooperation model of right to harvest was changed to general farmland leasing for the cultivation of other crops.



TSC’s Maguang Organic Group Cultivation Farm in Huwei

          We set up an organic framing zone with an area of 197.3 hectares in Maguang Farm in Huwei Town, Yunlin County, making it the very first circular agriculture demonstration park in Taiwan. This project was completed on December 15, 2021. After acceptance in 2022, it will become the first demonstration park for circular agriculture. The organic farm area is leased to Huwei University of Science and Technology, which will cooperate with the Council of Agriculture to recruit farmers to plant in this organic farm based on their qualifications, conditions and specific direction of implementation for the selection of farmers to station in the organic farm. Planning for future operation is as follows.

  1. The open field cultivation area is approximately 93 hectares, with the cultivation of rain-fed crops and import substitute crops. 
  2. Protected cultivation area is approximately 43 hectares, with 150 greenhouse facilities, mainly for the cultivation of short-term leafy vegetables, melons and fruits and vegetables. 
  3. The rest 61 hectares belong to public facilities, and 2.3 hectares of it is the management & goods collection center.
