Approach of Improving Coffee Industry in Taiwan-Promote Quality of Coffee Bean by Fermentation

Coffee is a typical drink with substantial increasi ng in global. With the growing popularity of coffee consumption, raw materials of coffee bean are mostly imported an d are increased year by year in Taiwan. The study is firstly based on a qualitative research method of an in-depth int erview, discussion, field investigation, and analyz ing environment of coffee industry in Taiwan to realize the problem. And then, a quantitative research method finds out an approach of fermentation to help development of this industry. This research has achieved the approach to ferment a good quality coffee bean which improves the local bean with the competitive ability with import product.
