Australia receives first aquatic weed orchids
The Council of Agriculture yesterday announced the first batch of Phalaenopsis (known as the “butterfly orchid” in Taiwan) grown in aquatic weeds had arrived in Australia, marking a breakthrough in Taiwan’s efforts to tap the market in the southern hemisphere.
Council Minister Chen Wu--hsiung (陳武雄) said Australia has always been very strict in enforcing examinations of imported plants and animals, as it has several unique species and could be greatly affected by foreign species invasion.
That orchids grown in aquatic weeds from Taiwan were approved by Australia is a major breakthrough, he said.
The council said Taiwan was the first country to receive such an approval after four years of continuous efforts, adding that approval from New Zealand was also achieved last month.
Chen said foreign visitors who came to orchid exhibitions in Taiwan were often impressed with the diversity of the species and the fact that up to 14 million Phalaenopsis orchids are exported to the US every year.
