Rui-sui is not a big tea producer: there are less than 20 tea busi-nesses, and with stagnating prices for low-altitude oolong, the township ’ s tea plantations have shrunk from the 200 hectares of yesteryear to just around 60 hectares today.
花蓮瑞穗鄉的茶區不大，茶行不過十幾家，在低海拔烏龍價格不振下，全鄉的茶園面積更從過去的 200 公頃，縮減到目前只剩下約 60 公頃。
