External Risks Drag Down Taiwan Stocks, AI and Semiconductor Sectors Still Offer Opportunities

Food Factory Faces Talent Gap, Experts Propose “Bench Plan”
A food processing factory with annual revenue exceeding NT$700 million is facing high turnover among junior staff and a shortage of mid-level managers while expanding its new plant.
