Sichuan is an important traditional Chinese medicine production area in mainland China. After the major earthquake, the production capacity of Chinese herbal medicine decreased, leading Japan to turn to Taiwan for sources of Chinese herbal medicine. The Hualien District Agricultural Improvement Station held the "2009 International Symposium on the Development of the Chinese Herbal Medicine Industry." Dr. Arai Ichiro from Japan suggested that Taiwan should focus on researching the economic utility and effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine to penetrate the Japanese market.

The Hualien District Agricultural Improvement Station of the Council of Agriculture held the "2009 International Symposium on the Development of the Chinese Herbal Medicine Industry" in Hualien on the 8th, attracting over 200 experts, industry professionals, and farmers in the field of Chinese herbal medicine. As Hualien has achieved significant results in the cultivation and research of angelica, ginseng, and scutellaria, the symposium aimed to exchange ideas with domestic and international experts to promote Taiwan's achievements in Chinese herbal medicine to the global market. Section Chief Xuan Daping of the Hualien Agricultural Improvement Station stated: "In the past, Japan imported Chinese herbal medicine from mainland China. After the major earthquake in Sichuan, a major production area for Chinese herbal medicine in mainland China, Japan specifically came to Hualien to investigate whether they could purchase from Taiwan in the future. Taiwan used to produce very little Chinese herbal medicine, but now Hualien is cultivating angelica, ginseng, and scutellaria. If Japan can purchase from Hualien, it will boost the local Chinese herbal medicine industry."
The symposium specially invited Dr. Arai Ichiro from TSMURA Corporation, a century-old company that produces "Chuushingoto," to give a speech in Taiwan. Dr. Arai mentioned: "If Taiwan wants to export Chinese herbal medicine to Japan, it must understand Japan's legal regulations, as Japan has strict standards for imported products, with the most emphasis on economic utility and effectiveness."
