Agricultural Land Use Policy and Management in Chinese Taipei

摘要

In facing the serious problems of aged farmers,small-scale farms and fragmented farmland,it has attempted to improve these situations through promoting the farmland reform programs in Chinese Taipei.From 1949 to 2008,we have implemented two stages of farmland reforms.The first-stage farmland reform program included farmland rent reduction,the land-to-the-tiller program and public farmlands from leasing to sale.The second-stage farmland reform program mainly focused to enlargement of the farm scale.The government accordingly offered a number of supporting measures,such as financial loans for purchasing land,encouraging joint,entrusted and cooperative farming and land consolidation and farm mechanization.However,these measures had failed to increase the farmland scale.
