Program of Activities ................................................... 157 FOREWORD The rural food processing industry can play a vital role in rural poverty alleviation and sustainable development in many Asia-Pacific countries. It can enhance farm incomes by offering a ready market for farm products, generate off-farm employment, and reduce rural–urban migration. Rural-based food processing industries are mostly small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and face such constraints as poor infrastructure, shortage of entrepreneurial talent and skilled manpower, limited access to appropriate technologies, volatile demand, and small profit margins. In some member countries, successful attempts have been made to develop rural-based food processing SMEs. For example, some advanced member countries have developed well-integrated rural food processing industries employing state-of-the-art technologies and a participatory integrated rural development approach. Others have developed efficient production–processing–marketing chains through farmers’ associations. In this regard, the experience of Japan could be extremely useful for other APO member countries in the development of efficient and viable food processing SMEs. The APO organized the multi-country study mission on the “Rural-based Food Processing Industry” in Japan to learn about the latest developments in the small- and medium-scale rural-based food processing industry and to examine the possibilities of applying its experience in other member countries. This publication is a compilation of the papers and proceedings of the study mission. It is our hope that this publication will prove useful to our readers, especially policymakers, planners, and managers involved in the development of the food processing industry in the Asia-Pacific region. The APO is grateful to the Government of Japan, especially the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, for hosting the study mission, and to the Association for International Cooperation of Agriculture and Forestry for implementing the program. Our appreciation also goes to the resource persons for their valuable contributions and to Dr. Alastair Hicks for editing this publication. TAKASHI TAJIMA Secretary-General Tokyo April 2004 SUMMARY OF FINDINGS INTRODUCTION The Multi-Country Study Mission on Rural-Based Food Processing Industry was held in Tokyo from 6 to 13 March 2001. The study mission was organized by the Asian Productivity Organization (APO) and hosted by the Government of Japan. The Association for International Cooperation of Agriculture and Forestry (AICAF) implemented the program with the financial and technical assistance of the Japanese Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF). Eighteen participants from 14 member countries and three resource speakers from FAO and Japan attended the study mission. The objectives of the study mission were: 1) to observe and review the rural-based small and medium food processing industry established in the host country; and 2) to examine its links with support services, supply of raw materials, marketing, etc. and discuss the possibilities of application of such systems in the member countries. The study mission consisted of the presentation and discussion of resource papers, field visits to various food processing facilities in Gifu and Shizuoka prefectures, presentation of country papers and a workshop. The topics covered by the resource papers were: Characteristics and Problems of Agribusiness for Rural Development in Japan; Status of Rural-Based Small and Medium Food Processing Industry in Japan; and Issues and Strategies in Development of Rural-Based Small and Medium Food Industry in Asia and the Pacific. The country papers focused on the status review of rural-based small and medium food processing industry in the participating member countries. In the workshop, the participants identified the major issues and problems affecting the rural-based food processing industry in the member countries; and suggested specific strategic actions to address such issues. The highlights of the Study Mission are presented as follows: HIGHLIGHTS OF THE RESOURCE PAPERS Characteristics and Problems of Agribusiness for Rural Development in Japan (Dr. Sueo Futatsugi) Agriculture in Japan is undergoing transformation. Rural areas are scattered mainly in and around villages but also around towns and cities. Agribusiness for rural development is thus scattered around villages, towns and cities of Japan. There are three main food consumption systems in Japan, i.e., fresh foods directly purchased by the consumers, processed food products directly consumed by the people, and processed food products first going to restaurants and then consumed. The paper describes characteristics and problems of agribusiness for rural development in Japan with emphasis on small and medium food processing industry based on a farm village as follows: 1. Meaning of Agribusiness for Rural Development C What is agribusiness for rural development? C The background that is required for agribusiness for rural development C The motivation for starting agribusiness for rural development and the effects of such agribusiness. 2. Agriculture and Farm Village Marketing (Agri-marketing) and Agribusiness for Rural Development C Agri-marketing and local management aspects C Putting value-added to local resources and agribusiness for rural development C Exchange activities between cities and farm villages and creation of local customers. 3. Local Small and Medium Food Processing Business Projects that Form the Center of Agribusiness for Rural Development C Local food processing business projects with a clear customer target C Local food processing business projects that enable exchange activities between different business categories voluntarily within a region to function - 3 - C Local food processing business projects with a wide variety of business styles—agricultural cooperatives, agricultural associations, limited companies, corporations, women groups, etc. 4. Examples of Local Food Processing Business Projects with Some Features C JA Sawada agricultural cooperatives (Nakanojo-machi, Gunma prefecture) with a history

  • Modeling Incipient Use of Neolithic Cultigens by Taiwanese Foragers: Perspectives from Niche Variation Theory, the Prey Choice Model, and the Ideal Free Distribution
    quaternary Article Modeling Incipient Use of Neolithic Cultigens by Taiwanese Foragers: Perspectives from Niche Variation Theory, the Prey Choice Model, and the Ideal Free Distribution Pei-Lin Yu Department of Anthropology, Boise State University, 1910 University Dr., Boise, ID 83725, USA; [email protected] Received: 3 June 2020; Accepted: 14 August 2020; Published: 7 September 2020 Abstract: The earliest evidence for agriculture in Taiwan dates to about 6000 years BP and indicates that farmer-gardeners from Southeast China migrated across the Taiwan Strait. However, little is known about the adaptive interactions between Taiwanese foragers and Neolithic Chinese farmers during the transition. This paper considers theoretical expectations from human behavioral ecology based models and macroecological patterning from Binford’s hunter-gatherer database to scope the range of responses of native populations to invasive dispersal. Niche variation theory and invasion theory predict that the foraging niche breadths will narrow for native populations and morphologically similar dispersing populations. The encounter contingent prey choice model indicates that groups under resource depression from depleted high-ranked resources will increasingly take low-ranked resources upon encounter. The ideal free distribution with Allee effects categorizes settlement into highly ranked habitats selected on the basis of encounter rates with preferred prey, with niche construction potentially contributing to an upswing in some highly ranked prey species. In coastal plain habitats preferred by farming immigrants, interactions and competition either reduced encounter rates with high ranked prey or were offset by benefits to habitat from the creation of a mosaic of succession ecozones by cultivation. Aquatic-focused foragers were eventually constrained to broaden subsistence by increasing the harvest of low ranked resources, then mobility-compatible Neolithic cultigens were added as a niche-broadening tactic.

JJ . 'J‘. AUG 2 4 2012 ABSTRACT THE ROLE OF THE AGRICULTURAL SECTOR IN TAIWAN'S ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT by Charles Hsi-chung Kao The role of the agricultural sector in Taiwan's economic develOpment was examined, following Kuznets, in three aspects, i.e., product, market and factor, with special reference to the post-war period. The product aspect of the agricultural sector was analyzed in two periods: lQOl-HO and 19u5-62. It was concluded that the means used in increasing the crop yields in 1901-40 provides "an example of the Japanese approaches applied in a different setting." But this achievement was not attained by merely employing resources that had low Opportunity costs as Professor Bruce Johnston claims. Two modern inputs: fertilizers and irrigation, were used at quite high costs. Further progress was made in agriculture during the post-war period. The total agricultural production increased at an average growth rate of u.9 percent per year in 1953-60, well exceeding the high population growth of 3.5 percent per year.

  • Growing Demand for Organics in Taiwan Stifled by Unique
    THIS REPORT CONTAINS ASSESSMENTS OF COMMODITY AND TRADE ISSUES MADE BY USDA STAFF AND NOT NECESSARILY STATEMENTS OF OFFICIAL U.S. GOVERNMENT POLICY Voluntary - Public Date: 9/20/2017 GAIN Report Number: TW17006 Taiwan Post: Taipei Growing Demand for Organics in Taiwan Stifled by Unique Regulatory Barriers Report Categories: Special Certification - Organic/Kosher/Halal Approved By: Mark Petry Prepared By: Ping Wu and Andrew Anderson-Sprecher Report Highlights: The United States exported $28 million worth of organic fruits and vegetables to Taiwan in 2016, up 74 percent from the year before. In comparison, U.S. organic exports to the rest of the world grew just one percent in 2016. Taiwan is now the fourth largest export market for U.S. organic products. Despite its strong market potential, Taiwan has a number of unique requirements that make exporting organic products to the market challenging. Executive Summary: In 2016, exports of U.S. exported $28 million worth of organic fruits and vegetables to Taiwan, making it our fourth largest export market. This represents a 74 percent increase from the year before, compared to a one percent growth in organic exports to the rest of the world. The highest selling U.S. organic products to Taiwan were head lettuce, cauliflower, broccoli, celery, and apples. Despite its strong market potential, Taiwan has a number of unique requirements that make exporting organic products to the market challenging. The key issue is a requirement that imported organic products must apply to Taiwan authorities for approval to be labeled as organic even if Taiwan has recognized the exporting countries’ organic standards as equivalent.

  • A Study on the Guaranteed Sugar Price in Taiwan by Chwei-Lin Fan A
    A study on the guaranteed sugar price in Taiwan by Chwei-lin Fan A THESIS Submitted to the Graduate Faculty in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Agricultural Economics Montana State University © Copyright by Chwei-lin Fan (1961) Abstract: This report reveals farm survey research applying to the guaranteed sugar price in Taiwan. The minimum guaranteed sugar price is determined on the basis of survey data furnished by the Taiwan Sugar Corporation and is announced by the government prior to the period of planting of each cane crop year. Since 1957 the sugar support price in Taiwan has served as a reliable method for the government's sugar-price policy making and has also been broadly welcomed by most cane growers as a guidance for their farm planning. Part I presents some basic facts about Taiwan's agriculture. Part II reviews the history of fluctuating income and rice-sugar cane competition in Taiwan. Part III describes the research problem from standpoints of the government , the Taiwan Sugar Corporation, and the cane producers. Part IV points out the objectives and procedures of the study. The aims of the guaranteed sugar price survey are to stabilize the local sugar industry. Part V shows the hypotheses used by the Taiwan Sugar Corporation in the study which was used as the basis for the government's announced guaranteed sugar price. The hypotheses are that as the result of the guaranteed sugar price are: (l) farmers will prefer to plant sugar cane, (2; the Taiwan Sugar Corporation might obtain enough raw cane material to operate the sugar factories, and (3) the government can maintain at least the past, level of foreign exchange earned by sugar export.

  • Background the Philippines Is an Archipelago (Chain of Islands) Comprised of Over 7,100 Islands in the Western Pacific Ocean. Or
    Beatriz Dykes, PhD, RD, LD, FADA Background The Philippines is an archipelago (chain of islands) comprised of over 7,100 islands in the western Pacific Ocean. Originally inhabited by indigenous tribes such as the Negroid Aetas and the pro-Malays. Beginning in 300 BC up to 1500 AD, massive waves of Malays (from Malaysia, Sumatra, Singapore, Brunei, Burma, and Thailand) immigrated to the islands. Arab, Hindu and Chinese trading also led to permanent settlements during by these different groups during this period. In 1521, Spain colonized the Philippines, naming it after King Phillip II and bringing Christianity with them. The Spanish colonization which lasted 350 years, imparted a sense of identification with Western culture that formed an enduring part of the Philippine consciousness, unmatched anywhere else in Asia. The prevalence of Spanish names to this day (common first names like Ana, Beatriz, Consuelo, Maria and last names as Gonzales, Reyes, and Santos) reflects this long-standing influence of the Spanish culture. The United States acquired the Philippines from Spain for 20 million dollars after winning the Spanish-American war through the Treaty of Paris in 1898, introducing public education for the first time. During this period, health care, sanitation, road building, and a growing economy led to a higher standard of living among Filipinos and the Philippines became the third largest English speaking country in the world. Above all, the US occupation provided a basis for a democratic form of government. World War II had the Filipinos fighting alongside the Americans against the Japanese. The Death March and Corregidor became symbolic of the Philippine alliance with the United States.
