T-TAS Goals
T-TAS的溯源將可以運用農業部輔導設置之國產生鮮禽肉溯源平台優勢，凡經驗證之國產羽絨原料，
Compared with the information provided by ordinary non-governmental organizations, it is more credible and can prove the source of raw materials.
This can provide members with a more niche position to sell high-quality Taiwanese down to the world.
