To meet the demand for land for Taiwanese businesses returning to set up factories in recent years and to create a better investment environment in the central and southern regions, the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) has collaborated with Taiwan Sugar Corporation to develop four industrial parks in Jhongpu, Shuishang, Xinshi, and North Kaohsiung. The aim is to create smart industrial clusters with local demand, low pollution, low energy consumption, low impact, and high added value. The Bureau of Industrial Parks (BIPs) of MOEA launched the second phase of investment promotion from 2022 to 2023, attracting over 55 companies to invest, and the average investment promotion rate has exceeded 90%.
The Bureau of Technology Industrial Parks of MOEA stated that the land release policy this time adopts a lease-only approach to reduce the financial pressure on companies to purchase land and avoid land price fluctuations. At the same time, the policy increases the recycling of industrial land use, it has gained favor within a wide range of enterprises. It is estimated that after the completion of investment promotion in all four parks, the total output value could reach NT$46.9 billion. It is expected to provide employment opportunities for over 10,000 people in the Chiayi, Tainan, and Kaohsiung areas and drive economic development in the surrounding areas.
In the Jhongpu and Shuishang Industrial Parks in Chiayi County, manufacturers such as food, wood and paper, metal and plastic products, and machinery manufacturing are attracted to station by traditional industries upgrading. Currently, 17 companies have expressed interest in stationing into parks to operate, with a total leased area of 13.12 hectares. There are still 2.48 hectares of available land for companies to apply for, and an additional 72.92 hectares will be gradually released in different phases.
