History

The corporation was established on May 1, 1946, by the Nationalist government after the handover of Taiwan from Japan to the Republic of China, through merging all of the sugar companies (Dai-Nihon, Taiwan, Meiji, and Ensuiko Sugar Company) in Japanese era in Taiwan. In the 1950s and 1960s, sugar was one of the major exports of Taiwan; the corporation remains a major land owner nowadays.
