16 Years of Commitment: From Textile Innovation to Land Stewardship
Since adopting the farmland in 2011, SINGTEX has continued this initiative for 16 consecutive years.
Chairman Chen noted that Yilan, known for its rich agricultural heritage, reflects the deep connection between land and culture. He also recognized the long-term efforts of Mr. Fu-zai Fang, a recipient of Taiwan’s prestigious Shennong Award(National Model Farmer), whose dedication to sustainable farming aligns with SINGTEX’s vision of green manufacturing.
He emphasized that the Fu-Tian initiative is not merely an event, but a journey of local engagement and learning, encouraging participants to reconnect with nature and reflect on how to create a more sustainable future.
Under the expert guidance of Mr. Fu-zai Fang, participants planted rice seedlings into the fields by hand, gaining firsthand insight into the 120 days of dedicated care behind every grain of rice.
