Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council: Taiwanese pomelo is popular with mainland consumers, promoting cross-strait exchanges and cooperation

China News Service, September 23. On September 23, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council held a regular press conference. A reporter asked: As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, Taiwanese pomelo is available on many shelves in mainland China. On September 22, the "Pinbaodao Wendan Pomelo to Celebrate the Full Moon Mid-Autumn Festival" event was held in Shenzhen. Please introduce the relevant situation.

Spokesperson Zhu Fenglian said that in April this year, the Central Taiwan Affairs Office was authorized to release ten policies and measures to promote cross-strait exchanges and cooperation. On the basis of adhering to the "1992 Consensus" and opposing the politics of "Taiwan independence," relevant parties on both sides of the Taiwan Strait have worked together to promote the implementation of policies and help more island farmers and fishermen explore the mainland market, achieving positive results. Many batches of Taiwanese packaging plants, orchards, and food companies have registered in the mainland, and customs clearance efficiency continues to improve, making logistics and transportation more convenient.

It is worth mentioning that with the joint efforts of all parties, Taiwanese pomelo has appeared at many exhibitions in mainland China and has been sold in supermarkets, farmers' markets and e-commerce platforms, and has been welcomed by consumers. During the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holidays, more Taiwanese pomeloes will enter thousands of households in mainland China. More mainland consumers will be able to taste Taiwan’s high-quality fruits, and more Taiwanese grassroots fruit farmers will be able to share the vast market opportunities in the mainland. This two-way rush presents a vivid picture of integrated development, mutual benefit and win-win results. We will continue to uphold the concept of "one family across the Taiwan Strait" and actively promote cross-Strait economic exchanges and cooperation so that compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait can share the dividends of the peaceful and integrated development of cross-Strait relations.
