Tainan: Guaguayuan Sweet Potato Ecological Story Museum Introduction
【Evaluation Valid Period: 2025/03/11~2028/03/10】 The Gua Gua Garden Sweet Potato Ecological Story Museum is located in the beautiful and scenic Xinhua District. Inside the museum, you can see the varieties and ecology of sweet potatoes, as well as learn how traditional agriculture integrates innovative technologies to cultivate safe and delicious sweet potatoes! If you want to know more about sweet potatoes, a visit to the Ecological Story Museum is just right for you! Traditional agriculture has always played the role of a producer. With the arrival of the harvest season, abundant production means prices drop to rock bottom, while when the yield is low, prices soar like gold. Farmers often struggle to understand market trends and, lacking sufficient information, they remain passive and vulnerable. The Gua Gua Garden Xinhua Edible Sweet Potato Production and Sales Class, established under the guidance of agricultural authorities in February 1991, is dedicated to the cultivation and processing of the sweet potato industry. At class meetings, all members collectively negotiate prices, allowing participants to focus solely on improving planting quality without bearing the risks of price fluctuations. With supportive measures in place, members can operate worry-free, working together to create the highest quality and maximum profit while effectively bridging the gap between farmers and consumers. The aim is to enhance the new direction of Taiwan's sweet potato "production, manufacturing, and sales unified channels." Gua Gua Garden insists on using a professional contract farming process for traditional food—sweet potatoes—leading to a new culinary culture of sweet potatoes, ensuring that consumers can eat with confidence. To achieve this goal, they start from the source to aid in follow-up processing control, establishing standardized cultivation management for healthy sweet potato seedlings, pesticide residue testing management, a six-level quality inspection mechanism, and techniques to preserve each sweet potato to achieve the best flavor. Additionally, they emphasize food safety and hygiene control during processing. Since 2011, preparations for the "Gua Gua Garden Sweet Potato Ecological Story Museum" have been underway to convey how Gua Gua Garden excels in sweet potato production processes, ecological education, and sweet potato knowledge to every friend! This allows everyone to better understand this traditional delicacy that has accompanied early Taiwan and symbolizes the resilient spirit of the Taiwanese people—the sweet potato!
Sweet potato, so that's how it is.
