Due to the warming climate, there has been a surplus of cabbages since last November, with prices falling to as low as NT$10 per head in some areas. To deal with this abundance, the Agriculture and Food Agency has partnered with frozen food manufacturers and convenience stores to offer packages of frozen vegetables, aiming to make use of the 300 tons of surplus cabbage.

Whether stir-fried or added to hot pot, cabbage is a versatile and nutritious vegetable commonly used in many households. Now people can also buy frozen cabbage.

Even though it’s been frozen, it tastes fresh. Due to the unseasonably warm winter, there has been a surplus of cabbage since November, with the abundance driving prices down and farmers struggling to make ends meet. The Agriculture and Food Agency partnered with farmers’ associations, frozen food manufacturers, and convenience stores to offer packages of frozen cabbage, hoping to find a new way to market the vegetable.

During peak harvest season, the produce is processed and frozen for storage so it can be marketed later when supply is low. The current target is 300 tons, and it’s expected to continue growing.

With the plum rain season over and typhoons coming, vegetable prices have started to rise. The agency said that if prices become unstable, it will release more frozen vegetable packs to keep prices steady.

We have over 4,600 tons of frozen vegetables including broccoli, cauliflower, green onions, taro, and green beans. These can all be frozen and preserved, adding to their value.

Working with farmers and retailers, the agency will continue to offer customers affordable choices for frozen vegetables.
