2023年，美式賣場好市多販售的冷凍藍莓驗出A型肝炎病毒殘留，引起消費者對進口藍莓的疑慮。在進口藍莓受到質疑的同時，臺灣的本土藍莓是否可以成為另一個選擇呢？答案是肯定的。

事實上，臺灣早在80年代就開始嘗試栽種有機藍莓。有機種植不僅可以減輕對土地的傷害和降低對環境的負擔，更能讓消費者安心。

然而，要種植藍莓，需要耗費大量的資金和心力，特別是有機栽培更會受到蟲鳥的侵襲。儘管如此，臺灣的農民依然堅持走有機農業的道路。

與此同時，政府也積極制定食農教育計畫，讓消費大眾意識到有機農業的重要性。通過這些努力，我們可以安心地享用這些美味且營養豐富的本土藍莓。這不僅為臺灣的農業帶來新的機遇，也創造了屬於我們的藍海生機。因此，除了進口藍莓外，我們也可以支持本土有機藍莓的發展，讓更多人受益於健康的食物。

In 2023, Costco in the US market sold frozen blueberries detected with Hepatitis A virus residue, causing consumers to doubt imported blueberries. While imported blueberries were questioned, could Taiwan's local blueberries become another choice? The answer is yes.

In fact, Taiwan started to cultivate organic blueberries as early as the 1980s. Organic cultivation not only reduces damage to the land and environmental burden but also provides consumers with peace of mind.

However, cultivating blueberries requires a considerable amount of funds and effort, especially organic cultivation which is more vulnerable to pest infestations. Nevertheless, Taiwanese farmers still adhere to the path of organic agriculture.

Meanwhile, the government actively implements food and agriculture education programs to raise awareness of the importance of organic agriculture among consumers. Through these efforts, we can confidently enjoy these delicious and nutritious local blueberries. This not only brings new opportunities to Taiwan's agriculture but also creates a blue ocean of vitality for us. Therefore, besides imported blueberries, we can also support the development of local organic blueberries, benefiting more people with healthy food.
