Frequently asked questions

Which Taiwanese agencies back cold chain investment?+

The Council of Agriculture funds agricultural and aquaculture cold chain. MOEA (Ministry of Economic Affairs) supports industrial refrigeration and energy-efficiency retrofits. TFDA regulates pharma GDP. Public infrastructure funding and Taiwan Eximbank-backed export credit are available for qualifying projects.

Can international OEMs win Taiwanese cold-chain tenders?+

Yes for ammonia/CO₂ plants, IQF, automation, pharma GDP and specialty EPC scopes — subject to CNS certification and TFDA documentation where relevant. ColdMatch benchmarks international offers against domestic contractors on equal technical terms.

What CapEx should buyers budget for Taiwan cold storage?+

Frozen warehouse CapEx runs roughly USD 180–360/m³ turnkey; industrial ammonia/CO₂ plants USD 1,150–2,200/kW; GDP pharma rooms USD 320–640/m³. Seismic and typhoon design uplift civil scope by 8–15%.

Does ColdMatch cover Taiwan's biotech and pharmaceutical cold chain?+

Yes — GDP-compliant rooms, ULT freezers and mapping/qualification packages for Hsinchu, Taichung and Neihu biotech clusters.
