Taiwanese immigrants, no longer doing agriculture, have turned to business in produce, buying fruits and vegetables from the main islands of Japan or from Okinawa. Yokoyama, for example, owns five or six produce shops, and Shiryu Otaki has taken the same route.
目前島上的鳳梨、香焦、水果等等，大多是日本人耕種生產的；不再務農的台灣移民，則轉而做起青果生意，從日本本島及沖繩批進蔬菜水果販賣，像橫山擁有五、六家青果店、王志隆、吳屋寬永等也都走上這一行。
