Their website www.lalasun.com.tw during summer peach season is the largest fruit-selling website in Taiwan. In the year 2005, the Lalashan community has been selected as one of the E-commerce and digital opportunity benchmarking communities in Taiwan. Today, 80％ of Lalashan households own computers, and most of the computers are connected to the Internet via broadband. Their children were the winners of the Silver Award in The 2005 International Schools Cyberfair award. A total of 72 Lalashan farmers sell their peaches online, and generate a total sales value of NT$20,000,000 in 2006.
