PROFILE |
 |
The Taiwan Tobacco & Wine Board's (TTWB) days as a government-owned monopoly are numbered, as it prepares to privatize by mid-2001. The monopoly sells its beer and wine under the Taiwan Beer and Shaohsing brands respectively; its spirit brands include Yih-Lu and Mei liquors. TTWB's Long Life cigarettes are the island's leading brand. Its products are exported to more than 55 countries throughout Asia, the Americas, and Europe. The firm is Taiwan's sole producer of alcohol, the only entity allowed to brew beer there since the early 1900s. TTWB will become a regulator upon privatization, allowing other firms to produce beer and liquor in Taiwan. It plans to enter the Chinese herbal medicine and health foods markets.
