About the Company
In 2009, Typhoon Morakot severely devastated the "Liangxi Corridor," leaving the plum industry a shadow of its former self. Coupled with competition from low-priced plums from mainland China, the livelihoods of local Indigenous plum farmers suffered a heavy blow.

In 2013, initiated by several enthusiastic entrepreneurs, "2021 Social Enterprise" was established. It guides local plum farmers through guaranteed-price contract farming. Beyond purchasing green plums, it also guides them in producing plum embryos (the primary raw material for ten-year aged plums), increasing the added value of the plums and bringing in higher revenues. In addition, it provides interest-free loans to allow plum farmers to hire plum-harvesting workers during the harvesting season, build plum embryo houses, and purchase the sea salt required for sun-drying plums, hoping to make the economic income of the guided plum farmers more stable and allow this "common good" enterprise to develop sustainably.

Since 2014, the enterprise has contracted with plum farmers for plum embryos, and in 2015, it established a plum processing plant in Shanlin District, Kaohsiung, producing candied plums according to the artisan techniques of Wakayama, Japan. As of 2022, a cumulative total of 94 person-times of plum farmers have participated in contract farming, with a cumulative purchase of 348 tons of plum embryos, a production of 295 tons of candied plums, the construction of 140 pings of plum embryo houses, and a cumulative total output value of 45.8 million.

In recent years, due to consecutive poor harvests caused by climate warming, in order to maintain local Indigenous employment opportunities at the plum processing plant, we have traveled over mountains and ridges to visit plum farmers one by one to discuss green plum contract purchases, and to further gain a deep understanding of the conditions in the production areas, achieving strict quality control right from the very source. At the same time, we teach our partners at the plum processing plant to produce plum embryos themselves from the purchased green plums, stabilizing the raw materials for ten-year aged plums, and further providing more employment opportunities for Indigenous people in the mountainous areas.
