Weng Zhangliang was the first to expose the highlight product of the Chiayi Museum today, "mullet roe". He said that Chiayi County is the base for mullet farming in Taiwan, because Chiayi County is located in the golden zone where the Tropic of Cancer passes, and has an excellent breeding environment, which makes the mullet plump and healthy. Coupled with sufficient sea breeze and winter sun, it is the production base for making top-quality mullet roe.

Weng Zhangliang mentioned that the 8 double-weight mullet roe on display are eggs laid by mullet roe that has been cultured for more than 3 years.

The Agriculture Department of Chiayi County Government stated that Japan is Taiwan’s main consumer market. Chia County Government will work together with Chiayi’s high-quality fresh food industry to promote high-quality agricultural products to more Japanese consumers. The best products include mullet roe, pineapples, milkfish, quail eggs, dried fruit, oil sauces and snack foods. The Jiaxian dealers will welcome the first-line buyers with the warmest hearts of Chiayi people.
