農業

/nóngyè/Roman

English meaning: Agriculture

Definition

The cultivation of land and raising of crops and livestock. Taiwan's subtropical climate enables production of diverse fruits (pineapple, guava, mango, lychee). While agriculture's share of GDP has declined significantly as Taiwan industrialized, agricultural exports — especially tropical fruits — remain important.

Example

臺灣的熱帶水果聞名於世,高品質農產品廣受歡迎。

In English: Taiwan's tropical fruits are world-famous, and high-quality agricultural products are widely popular.
