Research On Agriculture Of Taiwan From Chinese Mainland's Perspective

As the foundation of the economy,agriculture plays an important strategic role in the development of a region.From a higher level,the coordination and development of “three rural issues” determines whether a region or a country's economy can achieve high quality.Different from the state of the Chinese mainland,Taiwan's "three rural issues" has been very "high-quality development" in some aspects.From the perspective of cross-strait similarity,the successful experience of Taiwan's high-quality agricultural development may set a good example for the strategy of realizing rural revitalization in the Chinese mainland.In order to learn from the experience and achievements of Taiwan's agricultural development scientifically and effectively,we have designed a model called “Agricultural Development Index”.Through the measurement research of this model,we can conclude that:(1)Taiwan has a great advantage compared with the provinces of Chinese mainland,especially the living standards of farmers.(2)The transformation of the agricultural economic system in Taiwan from the 1970 s,to a more open market economy,makes the market play a role in the allocation of resources.The government gradually reduced the regulation of the free flow of production factors,and became a promoter of farmers' living standards and rich & beautiful rural areas.In terms of trade,for an increasingly competitive international trading environment,the international market is used to fill shortcomings through the international competitive advantage.An open market system is the fundamental reason for improving the living standards of farmers and promoting rural construction.Therefore,to promote agriculture development,it is necessary to establish a more open and global agricultural market system,especially providing a possible solution to the problem of the “red line of 1.8 billion mu of cultivated land” in the Chinese Mainland;(3)After the market system changed the allocation of resources,the technology gradually replaced other factors and became the driving force for the development of agricultural economy.Since the 1980 s,Taiwan has gradually established a disciplinary system that promotes the mix of life science and agricultural science,directly promoting technological advances in pesticides,breeding,and epidemic prevention;From the laboratory to the application of production,Taiwan has changed the single-guided system to the diversified system with the core of the Farmers' Association and multi-participation of government,enterprises,universities and social institutions which promotes the use of agricultural technology and rural education.Therefore,to promote agriculture development,not only must we attach importance to the research of science and technology,but the promotion system is equally important.(4)Industrial integration is one of the trends in Taiwan's agricultural development.It combines processing industry and service industry with agriculture to extend the agricultural industrial chain.After the construction of other industries,especially the tourism industry,“production,life,ecology” has gradually become prominent.The peasant industry has been promoting the rural surplus labor in situ and increasing the income of farmers.On the other hand,Taiwan attaches great importance to the village culture,or creative agriculture.And it's a common practice in agricultural development.Therefore,the agriculture development not only needs to seek opportunities to elongate the rural industrial chain,but also needs to consider the organic integration of the profound Chinese civilization.(5)The establishment of Taiwan peasant associations have gone through a long process.Until now,the Farmers Organizations have been established with some features like “self-own,self-governing,selfoccupied,and protected by law” and the diversity of functions of the Farmers Organizations has been guaranteed through laws.Farmers' social public services,a supply and sell system,the financial services and other functions are worked well by the farmers organization which also reduce the burden on other social organizations,and become a solid guarantee behind farmers.Therefore,the establishment of a function-rich peasant organization is also necessary for agriculture development;(6)According to comparison,cross-strait agriculture has complementarity.Taiwan's agriculture is better at capital,technology,management talents and marketing.The Chinese Mainland has advantages in markets,labor,cultivated land,other basic production factors.It's necessary to further promote cross-strait cooperation and cooperation itself is a simple and effective way to promote complementary and sustainable development of agriculture.Besides,the viewpoints above are concluded through a relatively large and logical research system.This system can be summarized as follows: firstly,analyze the basic theory;secondly,make an overview of modern agriculture;thirdly,compare the development of cross-strait agriculture through the "Agricultural Development Index";fourthly,based on the analyze,discuss the advantages of Taiwan's agriculture,and finally draw conclusions to agricultural development of Chinese mainland.
