Taiwan overview
Taiwan has rolled out policies to promote smart agriculture and precision farming. Initiatives include subsidies for farmers who are willing to adopt or develop smart agricultural technology, products, or services. Water efficiency, water treatment and reuse and water storage devices may be a major demand area as the country has been going through drought with associated water shortages which include affecting the semiconductor industry.
There is also a demand for renewable technology in line with net zero emissions targets. Below are a couple of examples of voluntary eco-labels.
