While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation. Silver prints of "photographs" may be ordered at additional charge by writing the Order Department, giving the catalog number, title, author and specific pages you wish reproduced.

The Problem An examination of the major differences in the economic structure, the institutional arrangements, and the means of production between developing and developed countries adds to our knowledge of the conditions and sources of world-wide poverty, hunger and stagnation. However, this examination does little to increase the understanding of how poverty, hunger and stagnation can be eliminated. In order to learn how to elimi­ nate poverty, it is necessary to study the way in which econom­ ic development takes place. Economic development is best con­ ceived as a dynamic, sequential process of expanding an economy by increasing productivity in order to raise the standard of living and general well-being of the society. Changes in one set of factors cause chsinges in other sets of variables, which in turn may bring about an increase in per capita income. Nor does the process end there. An increase in income can itself set off repercussions that eventually result in a further increase in income. In this respect, Mellor states that Increased production of agricultural commodities provides the basis for increased income and capital formation in the agricultural sector. The growth of population and income which increases the demand for food, provides a favorable environment for increased agricultural production (81, p. 37). The problems, both for those who wish to predict future per capita income accurately amd for those who want to devise 2 policies for accelerating economic development, is to discover the key variables and relationships in the development process. Recent development theory has been concerned with investigating the basic factors that cause economic develop­ ment of agriculture in the developing nations and the ways in which increased agricultural production and productivity occur. Thus, a primary concern for the developing nations is to determine major factors contributing to economic development of agriculture under pressures of high growth of population. In most of the developing countries, agriculture is the dominant economic sector. It is the main source of employment, foreign exchange, and food and industrial raw material. Hence, it deserves heavy weight in any development program. It also indicates that increasing agricultural output and productivity is essential to per capita income growth in today's developing nations. Heady notes that the technological advance of agriculture with the improvement of the food supply is a necessary precondition for take-off in economic develop­ ment of any developing nation in the world (42, p. 32). It is natural that in the process of economic development the rate of growth of the industrial sector, as measured by production (or employment), should be significantly faster than that of the agricultural sector. In fact there has been a great structural change away from agriculture in favour of manufacturing and other sectors in most councries. In laany 3 countries, this shift has been slowed, because of sluggish agricultural development. A result is the rate of increase in agricultural production in general, and food supply in particular, falls short of the rate of growth of population. Unless the past rate of increase in food production can be increased substantially, net imports of food in years ahead will occur. This would involve a heavy drain on foreign exchange, a relatively scarce resource in most developing countries. Thus, the slow increase in food production may not relieve the present inadequate levels of food consumption and may create serious obstacles to general economic development. The availability of U.S. food aid has considerably alleviated the food and foreign exchange shortages for some countries like Taiwan, Israel, and Greece. These countries achieved an outstanding records of growth and development. The capital requirements for overall economic development are extremely large.

  • 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.

The intention of this thesis is to investigate from a criti- cal point of view, the capitalist theory of regional and housing development for developing countries, and the pratice of this theory in Taiwan. Hopefully, this investigation will provide a basis for architects and planners to understand that the housing crisis in most worst developing countries like other social and environmental problems, orginates in the social relation of the society. As such crisis cannot be resolved merely by implementa- tion of partial policies and strategies unless the very founda- tion of social relations are changed.

  • Transformation of Farmers' Social Consciousness in Postwar Taiwan
    Transformation of Farmers' Social Consciousness in Postwar Taiwan The following pages trace how farmers in Taiwan shifted their social consciousness, or world outlook as expressed in social interactions, from that of a moral economy to that of a political economy. This change was effected by the intrusion of government policies into farm society and by changes in the relations of agricultural production. Specifically, this chapter claims that the attitudes of Taiwanese farmers towards landowners have been influenced, if not shaped, by social condi- tions which ha\,e changed dramatically since the japanese occupation of the island in 1895. These changes in social conditions have come in three sets: monopoly capitalist production of sugar and rice, initiated by the Japanese;the land reform and reformation of the Farmers' Associations by the Kuornintang (KMT) government during the 1950s; and the dissolution of farming corninunities in the face of the economic boon and rapid urban- ization of the 1970s. These social changes led to changes in the social con- sciousness of farmers. First, the arrival of the japanese shook the moral economy and social relations based on kinship of the traditional society. Next, exploitation by the Japanese regime provoked and then suppressed political activism. Finally, the position of landowners was diminished as the values of capit,jlism~speciallyindividualism and the profit mo- tive-permeated farming communities. I shall highlight the changes in social rel~tionsand social consciousness by focusing on the distinctions between the traditional moral economy imbued with social feelings and the profit-oriented individualism of mod- em capitalism. This admitted simplification underlines the crucial impact of the shift to modern capitalism and the toll that change took on the so- cial consciousness of farmers as their communities crumbled and gave way to urbanization.
