There is quite a long history of exports of orchid sprouts from Taiwan. But in the past, operations were all on a small scale. Though farmers were quite happy to get large orders, they had to run all over to find sprouts, so that the exported items were often criticized as being of very uneven quality.
台灣蘭苗出口也有相當歷史，但以往小農經營，接到大訂單雖然高興，但為了貨源卻得四處奔走找苗，出了貨卻也被買主批評品質不穩，生意往往只能做一次。
