Despite this, Taiwan plays a crucial role as a global trading hub and manufacturing center, facilitating the processing and export of minerals and commodities to worldwide markets. Taiwan’s expertise in high-tech manufacturing and semiconductor industries further supports its position in the global minerals trade. While domestic mineral extraction opportunities are restricted, Taiwanese entrepreneurs can still participate in the global minerals business by utilizing the country’s strategic location, advanced technology, and financial services to drive value creation and sustainable development efforts.
