ABOUT
About Liangtian
Taiwan's most careful small farms, under one name, shipped direct to shelves overseas.
01
Who we are
Liangtian is a shared brand built for Taiwan's small farms, focused on export. We connect the market directly to the farm: farms grow well and keep clear records; we handle standards, collection, cold chain and export, with no wholesalers in between. Take out that layer and farmers get a fair price, and buyers get produce whose origin can be explained.

Why we started
After years of exporting, we noticed overseas buyers were asking about more than price. They wanted the story behind the shipment.
Who grew this? When was it harvested? Was it tested?
Small farmers are great at growing, but it is hard for them to answer those questions alone, and harder still to export on their own. Every layer of wholesalers between them and the buyer takes a cut of their income and breaks the story one more time. Liangtian exists for exactly that: one shared name that takes careful small farms directly to shelves overseas.
We believe farming is a long-term commitment to the land. Organic or low-impact cultivation, no synthetic pesticides and care for soil and water are the basic conditions for joining Liangtian, and our guarantee to buyers.

TAP traceability
Taiwan's Traceable Agricultural Product (TAP) certification. Every step from growing to packing is recorded and audited by an accredited third party, and the records are publicly searchable.
Organic certification
Certified under Taiwan's Organic Agriculture Promotion Act. No synthetic pesticides or chemical fertilisers; soil and water must pass testing.
Pesticide residue testing
Every produce batch is sampled for pesticide residue before shipping; eggs are tested for veterinary drug residue. Each report is attached to its batch page.
Animal welfare certification

Our egg farm is certified for animal welfare: hens are floor-raised indoors without cages, with perches, claw-grinding play areas and nesting areas.
