- 23 April 2026 - Taiwan officially opened its Taiwan Pavilion today at
FHA-Food & Beverage 2026, held at Singapore Expo, where it will be
showcased until 24 April, presenting a comprehensive showcase of
Taiwan's vibrant food industry to regional and international buyers.
Organised under the unified brand “TAIWAN SELECT”, the Taiwan Pavilion
brought together over 100 Taiwanese enterprises across 96 booths,
making it one of the largest international pavilions at the exhibition.
The participation was supported by seven county and city
governments—including Pingtung, Yunlin, Tainan, Chiayi County, Chiayi
City, Nantou, and Changhua—as well as seven major food industry
associations.
Visitors experienced a diverse range of offerings spanning
confectionery, sauces, rice-based products, beverages, and processed
seafood and meat. Ahead of the exhibition, a Pre-Show Business
Networking Event provided VIP buyers with an exclusive preview of
products from 34 selected exhibitors, facilitating early engagement and
business conversations.
Responding to Evolving Consumer Demand
At this year's showcase, Taiwanese exhibitors demonstrated how
innovation continues to evolve alongside heritage, particularly in
response to growing demand for healthier, more convenient, and
flavour-forward products.
Highlights included the Green Banana French Fries Snack, a functional,
low-fat alternative rich in resistant starch, as well as Mama's Goose
Oil Dry-Mixed Vermicelli, which combines gourmet flavours with
convenience. Traditional flavours were also reimagined through products
such as the Smart Fish Shacha Flavour Snack, while Taiwan's expertise in
meat processing was reflected in offerings like Taiwanese sausages,
pork balls (gongwan), and pork floss.
Strengthening Trade Ties with Singapore
Singapore continues to be a key market for Taiwan's food exports, supported by strong bilateral trade relations.
“Taiwan became Singapore's largest trading partner in 2025, surpassing
China and Malaysia, with bilateral trade reaching US$53.44 billion,”
said Mr. Wen-Ling Wu, Deputy Representative, Taipei Representative
Office in Singapore. “Singapore's highly urbanised environment and
reliance on imported food — with over 90% of its food sourced from
abroad — make it a strategic market for Taiwan's food industry. With
diverse ingredients, strong processing capabilities, and a strong
emphasis on food safety, Taiwanese companies are well-positioned as
trusted partners for global buyers.”
In 2025, Taiwan's agricultural and food exports to Singapore reached
approximately US$126 million, with key categories including baked goods,
grain-based products, alcoholic beverages, frozen seafood, tea, and
noodles.
A Platform for Regional Growth
The Taiwan Pavilion was jointly organised by the Taiwan International
Trade Administration (TITA) and TAITRA, with the aim of supporting
Taiwanese food companies in expanding into Singapore and the wider
Southeast Asian market.
“FHA serves as an important platform for Taiwanese companies to
connect with regional buyers and strengthen their presence in Southeast
Asia,” said Mr. Cheng-Ta Lin, Deputy Executive Director, TAITRA.
“We are seeing growing interest in Taiwanese products that combine
quality, innovation, and convenience, which aligns well with evolving
consumer demand in the region.”
Through its participation at FHA-Food & Beverage 2026, the Taiwan
Pavilion reinforced Taiwan's position as a key player in the regional
food ecosystem, highlighting its capabilities in product innovation,
processing, and export readiness.
