Mostly concentrated in southern Taiwan, betel plantations have a long history in Taiwan. The Taiwanese enjoy chewing betel nuts, which are cut open before lime or ground shell pate is put in and then wrapped in greeen leaves. Chewing the nuts produces red juice. It is said that betel nuts can help remove phlegm and stimulate the spirit....[B]etel nuts also function to mitigate diarrhea, cure eye diseases and eliminate helminths (Chung 1997, p.69).

Such familiar domestic animals and livestock as water buffalo, yellow oxen, indigenous dogs ... [etc.] figure prominently in propaganda materials....For example, postcards commemorating the 'First Mutual-Progress Fair in Southern Taiwan,' and '10th Anniversary of the Administration' all contained pictures of farmers plowing their fields behind water buffalo"" (Yao 2006, p. 62).

[wa0308] [Banana orchard] [wa0308] [Banana orchard]245 Arboriculture; 240 Agriculture; 130 Geography; 137 FloraDuring the Japanese era [1895-1945], the Japanese rulers encouraged the cultivation of bananas, which they found to be sweet and delicious. The plantation area increased from 540 hectares in 1909 to 21,850 hectares in 1936. Total production of bananas reached 2,185,890 metric hundredweight in 1937, an increase from 63,216 metric hundredweight in 1909. Thus, Taiwan became known as the Banana Kingdom'. Banana exports to Japan began in 1903. To control the quality, the Japanese set up fruit companies in Taizhong, Tainan, and Gaoxiong to take charge of production, inspection and distribution of bananas and other fruits (Chung 1997, p.59).
