Shigang Farmers' Association Rice Milling Warehouse Introduction
During the Taisho period of Japanese rule, the Japanese established credit unions throughout Taiwan to manage the production and marketing of rice. It was only after World War II that these were transformed into agricultural associations. Agriculture was a vital part of early livelihoods and the economy, with rice production being the main agricultural output of Shigang. As a result, agricultural associations undertook the critical responsibilities of processing, promotion, and improvement. At that time, the rice milling warehouses and factories held significant importance and were an indispensable part of the historical development of the Shigang District.
