The production cause of Taiwan’s fruit plum originated from when there was no clear record , Speculated by sporadic data, About 260 years ago, Introduced by Fujian and Guangdong, Early records are found in Qing Emperor Kangxi 23 years(AD 1684) High Arch Writing "Taiwanese government".In 1944, the records of Taiwanese farmers were recorded. There are wild species on the slopes of 700 to 1,000 meters above sea level in Nantou County, Taichung County, Taiwan , Upstream of Zhuoshui River, Taoyuan County, Hsinchu County (Taiwan Governor's Office Agricultural Research Institute, 1944).
Mei is a unique fruit tree in Asia. In addition to China, Japan and South Korea, It is rarely cultivated in other countries. It is one of the native national trees in Central China, South China and Southwest China. The plum trees in Taiwan are mainly distributed in low-altitude hillsides in the municipalities and counties (cities) such as Nantou, Kaohsiung, Taichung, Tainan, Taitung and Hualien. The distribution of Taiwan plum trees is concentrated in Nantou County, accounting for 1,591 hectares. Concentrated in towns and villages such as Xinyi, Shuili and Guoxing；Taitung County accounts for 1,584 hectares. Focus on areas such as Chishang and Donghe; Concentrate on areas such as Chishang and Donghe; Kaohsiung City accounts for 1,584 hectares, The three lines accounted for 78.5%. The rest are distributed on hillsides in the middle, south and east at an altitude of 200~1,500 meters.
Because most of the green plum is not resistant to storage, Must be processed to produce food benefits, Therefore, except for a small amount of co-delivery channels to market sales, For consumers to their own processing, Or the farmers themselves left to process, Most of them are sold to processing plants for processing through large-scale distributors through producers. Each candied processing plant cooperates with the delivery period. First started from Taitung, Tainan, and Kaohsiung. Until the end of the Nantou harvest period. Therefore, The structure of the traditional green plum transport channel, Limited in the domestic market, In the case that the export market is not smooth, Once the domestic production and sales are out of balance, Often causing Menon to bear the price risk, Income is unstable.
Plum is rich in nutrients, and the Japanese are known as the "king of alkaline food." Although it tastes sour, it is actually a strong alkaline food. Nutritional ingredients include: vitamin A, B1, B2, C, sodium, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, iron, organic acids such as citric acid, malic acid, succinic acid, etc., is a natural functional health food. Rich in organic acid, it promotes the metabolism of human physiology. For example, catechin in plum can promote intestinal peristalsis and improve liver function. Since the ancient times, plums have been used in foods and medicines. Chinese medicine has been used for the treatment of insect repellents of "Umei Pills" for two thousand years.

The future of the plum industry
In the 85th year of the Republic of China, the domestically produced green plum had the most serious production and sales crisis in the past years. In recent years, most of the major export markets have been replaced by low-cost labor and Southeast Asian countries. In order to continuously develop the domestic plum industry, how to improve Meiyuan's business philosophy and improve industrial competitiveness, we must show the advantages of domestically-produced Mei's "differentiation", in order to compete with foreign imports of low-priced Mei, and create a new opportunity for Taiwan's plum industry. For example, counseling and sightseeing Meiyuan combines leisure and recreation to increase the domestic demand market. There are also diversified products, such as plum wine, plum vinegar, and creative plum food, which increase the diversification of the industry and the competitiveness of the products.
