Studies on the Structure Evolvement of Organic Agricultural Industry in Taiwan and its Influential Factors

In order to study the development of organic agriculture in Taiwan in recent years,and based on relevant agriculture,economic and social statistics,the general scale of organic agriculture and industrial structure were treated with statistic analysis. Results suggest that the general scale of organic agriculture in Taiwan grew rapidly from 2004 to 2011. The certified organic farmers grew by 140. 59%,and the area with organic plantation grew by 302. 40%. The industrial structure has changed significantly as vegetables have become the No. 1 organic crop instead of rice. Besides of the four major crops,organic plantation has played an increasingly important role. Essential factors influencing the great-leap-forward development include the general trend of agricultural industrial structure adjustment,proliferation of management system and strategic opportunities brought by economic cycles.

台湾有机农业产业结构研究

为分析近年来台湾有机农业发展状况,利用相关农业和经济社会统计数据,对有机农业整体规模和产业结构进行了统计分析。结果表明,2004—2011年,台湾有机农业整体规模增长迅速,有机种植认证农户增长了140.59%,有机种植面积增长了302.40%,户均有机种植面积增加了67.26%。产业内部发生结构性变化,蔬菜替代稻米成为了有机种植第一大作物,四大作物之外的有机种植迅猛增长。农业产业结构调整的大趋势、认证监管体系的完善以及经济周期带来的战略契机,是台湾有机农业实现跨越式发展和产业结构调整的重要影响因素。
