In 1985, TAIWAN FLORA SEED INTERNATIONAL CO., LTD. was
established, with main business of importing different kinds of
flower bulbs, young plants and seeds from the whole world. Our

providing economical flasks to young plant cultivation
nurseries.

RFID systems to ensure the quality and quantity of the plants in
every process. The new greenhouse covers over 3.3 hectares and we
