Vietnam was the largest supplier of vegetables (HS code 07) to the Taiwanese market. The imports from Vietnam accounted for 20.6% of the total imports of vegetables.

This shows that consumers in the Taiwanese market are very interested in Vietnamese vegetables, opening opportunities for businesses to export vegetables to the market in the near future.

In terms of categories, in the past nine months of 2021, Taiwan was the largest importer of cabbage, cauliflower, kohlrabi, kale and cruciferous veggies which are fresh or chilled (HS code 0704), reaching 93,900 tons, worth US$45.8 million, up 33.4% in volume and 46.3% in value over the same period in 2020.
