Up to 224 meetings between the 37 local orchid business operators and 32 buyers from 20 nations were held during the exhibition, it said. Those meetings secured orders worth a total of US$23.46 million, up by 3 percent from last year, and are expected to further generate export orders worth up to NT$10.18 billion, the ministry said. Ministry Secretary-General Lin Chia-jung (林家榮) said agriculture is not just an industry, but also part of people’s daily life. People can sign up for food and agriculture experience activities on the ministry’s Facebook page from Monday next week, it said.
