AGR-324 · Physical wholesale market · Taichung, Taiwan · TWD

The Dongshi market is run by the local farmers' association and concentrates on fruit. Its operator profile lists pears, persimmons, peaches, citrus, apples and loquats, and dates the market's operation to 1971. Its value to a directory user lies particularly in this specialisation: it offers a starting point for enquiries about fruit of a specified variety and maturity. It should not be treated as a complete equivalent of a large, broadly diversified vegetable market in central Taichung.

The 2024 yearbook records throughput of 12,020,754 kg and transaction value of TWD 1,047,934,720 for Dongshi. Trading value is not the association's financial result or the amount retained by growers after expenses. Annual fruit totals should be read alongside harvest timing and actual deliveries. A substantial yearly figure does not establish that the same variety can be ordered throughout the year, nor does it show the quantity remaining for a particular buyer.

The operator describes negotiated sales, with producers preparing grading and packaging, and posts a management charge of 3% of transaction value. This is an informational-page rate without a clear effective date; confirm it and any additional costs before committing a consignment. Buyers should compare fruit of similar size, variety and maturity. Produce intended for immediate retail sale may require different specifications from a lot destined for further storage or a longer distribution journey.

A seller should prepare a description of origin and lot consistency, then ask about intake, identification and payment handling. For pears or persimmons, establish whether the sale result will be reported separately for each grade. A buyer can request photographs of a representative sample, carton net weight and an agreed procedure for claims involving internal damage. These are recommendations for preparing a commercial discussion, rather than a declaration of services guaranteed by the operator. Separating grades on the order also makes later price comparisons more meaningful.

The listed fruit comes from the business profile, not a verified current quotation table. Before comparing reports, check the market, date and variety code: a broad pear category can include lots with different characteristics. Calling the market department is useful for confirming the delivery date and the appropriate operational contact. Public access to a price portal does not establish that remote buying or admission to trading is available through that portal.
