With nearly 72 hectares of certified organic farming land, the rice paddies of“Manna”are located in three areas in Fuli Township, Hualien County: Luoshan Village, the first organic village in Taiwan, Yongfeng Village, with its deep-rooted Hakka culture, and Fengnan Village, with its rich indigenous culture. These areas are equipped with rice terraces, independent water sources, and natural geographical barriers, giving the soil a deep black color that is rich in organic matter. Chung Yu-En, CEO of Manna, said, “Before us is Chengguang’ao Mountain, the highest peak of the coastal mountain range. This mountain is rich in maifanitum quarries, and the reason why Fuli’s rice is so good has a lot to do with the mountain range and the water source.” 60 Hualien Issue
