2. Late president's dream comes true with approval of Taiwanese cattle breed

The efforts by late President Lee Teng-hui to conserve a cattle breed that was imported into Taiwan from Japan in the Japanese colonial era from 1895-1945, has borne fruit with the official announcement of its formal name, "Yuanxing Cattle".　The Ministry of Agriculture (MOA) announced its approval of the registration of Yuanxing Cattle as a new cattle breed in Taiwan on Monday, nearly 4 years after the Lee Teng-hui Foundation applied for the name registration in late 2020. The official approval for the naming means Yuanxing Cattle can enter commercial breeding, as well as become an important genetic resource to enhance the diversity of the domestic beef supply chain, it added.
