Innovative technologies developed by the Ministry of Agriculture are revolutionizing pineapple production and marketing in Taiwan. During the growth phase, a digital system integrated with environmental sensors empowers farmers to intelligently monitor field weather data and real-time conditions, ensuring optimal growth for the pineapples. At harvest and export, mechanically assisted harvesting with cold chain technology maintains the freshness of the pineapples during transport, extending their shelf life. In addition, the remaining pineapple plants after harvest are harvested mechanically to extract the leaf fibers and make textile materials and the transformation of by-products into high-nutritional-value animal feed contribute to sustainable resource utilization. These advancements collectively enhance the efficiency of Taiwan's pineapple production and sales, bolstering its competitiveness in the global market.

The fuel cell systems that can apply industrial by-product hydrogen power generation, including two types of fuel cells operating at high and room temperature. One is the first 25kW SOFC power generation system by own technology in Taiwan, with a number of patents including thermal components, hot box modules, and system control. The power generation efficiency of the system is 55.8%, and the total efficiency of a SOFC-CHP system is 87%. Another set of technology is PEMFC system technology, which uses a patented hydrogen cycle control method, which can improve the utilization rate of by-product hydrogen. The power generation efficiency is more than 45%.

Boron (B) is necessary for plants during all vegetation periods. Boron is immobile in plants, so the condition of plants is determined by the fact that they constantly get this trace element. Molybdenum (Mo) has a positive effect on the growth of cereals and row crops. For normal growth leguminous plants require more molybdenum than other plants. In leguminous roots, nitrogen-fixing bacteria use molybdenum for the process of nitrogen fixation from the air. Boron and molybdenum complex as a nutrient improves the immune system of plants. Plants need boron and molybdenum throughout all vegetation, they cannot be replaced by other elements. Drought, insufficient moisture, low temperatures, and high rainfall in a short time are the factors causing boron deficiency. Boron deficiency appears due to an imbalance of boron and calcium as well as the low content of organic substances in the soil. Calcium inhibits the absorption of boron in alkaline soils.
