By Chien Hui-ju and Jake Chung / Staff reporter, with staff writerTaiwanese fruit exports to Malaysia and Indonesia are expected to exceed NT$44.8 million (US$1.47 million) by Sunday, the Council of Agriculture said in a report on Saturday. The forecast came after the council commissioned the Commerce Development Research Institute to hold a “Taiwanese Produce and Halal Food” exhibition, which ends on Sunday, at the Mercato Supermarket in the Pavilion Kuala Lumpur shopping center in Malaysia. The department said that it has invited a renowned local chef, Collin Edward Lim, to create Malaysian dishes using Taiwanese produce. The project provides participants with an export platform and assists them with expanding their market share based on their order niche points, Tang said. The council said that it would continue to invest in and assist program participants, vowing to introduce the excellence of Taiwanese agricultural products to Malaysia and other Muslim-majority countries.
