You couldn't imagine what Taiwanese people had to do with their pineapples.

They invented like dozens of dishes made of pineapples.

Everyone's addicted to pineapple and I got sick eating so much pineapple cakes and things.

So the government actually is saying to the farmers that don't actually increase your export to China because you don't know what they're going to do.

If they're not happy with us, they're going to stop buying from us and we'll be basically in big trouble.

Yes, coffee is my choice.

And on Friday, there will be a big coffee festival in Singapore.

And there will be a woman that has been spearheading efforts to promote Vietnamese coffee overseas.

And she's my hero for today's program.

Her name is Le Hoang Diep Thao, and she's the CEO of King Coffee.

I wonder whether you guys have heard about the brand?

King Coffee is basically a very big manufacturer of coffee and coffee products.

And they are actually selling coffees to 150 destinations in the world.

Well, hopefully you'll be able to buy it in the UK soon.

but mostly instant coffee because Vietnam is the biggest Robusta coffee producer in the world.

So that is actually mostly used for instant coffee.

And Thao, the woman, she's been trying to find ways to promote other products as well.

So to make sure that people understand, appreciate and buy more Vietnamese coffee.

Under her leadership, they have just set up a so-called World Coffee Alliance with 21 countries joining in.

And hopefully they will be able to support each other to make coffees better and sell more coffees to other countries.
