20 years ago, the beginnings of

Neece lay hidden in Taiwan's best

educational institution, National

Taiwan University.

Benjamin Wang, the founder of

Neece, was studying in the graduate

school of the Horticulture

Department of National Taiwan

University. What he was studying

was orchids.

After he left the army, Benjamin spent two years

in the Taipei Gardening Company learning

international trade and four years in the Integrated

Agricultural Company studying management.

He built up professional knowledge of quarantine

procedures and the quarantine regulations of

different countries. He learned how to communicate

with Customs and negotiate with the Bureau of

Quarantine. He even learned the details of

agricultural management in a company which was

producing Phalaenopsis, such as growth regulations

for orchid seedlings, environment control of

greenhouses, the use of fertilizer and pesticides,

and marketing and production planning. This store

of experience and knowledge has given Benjamin

mastery of all the characteristics of the

Phalaenopsis genus.

All this preparation nurtured the rich soil in which

Neece began to grow in 2002.
