Indian teller wins big with bet on Taiwanese guavasStaff writer, with CNAIn November 2019, Indian Kapil Sharma would not have known that he would share a bond with Taiwan because of its guavas. Unlike most local farmers who planted water-consuming crops like wheat or rice, Sharma visited a biotech company before deciding what to grow. “Taiwanese guavas changed my life,” he said, adding that the story might have been different if he had chosen another crop. Everyone in his village has heard about Taiwanese guavas, he added. Following the success of Taiwanese guavas, Sharma expanded his business by planting sugarcane and lemons, and started keeping bees.
