This paper investigates the contribution of Taiwan’s agriculture andrelated production activities to the gross domestic product (GDP) usinginput-output analyses. Taiwan’s agricultural production only accountedfor 2.2% of total GDP in 2001. However, if we apply the DomesticImpact Coefficient Matrix to calculate the Leontief backward linkageeffect, then the share of value added induced by consuming food andagricultural products is about 13%. Therefore, agriculture remainsimportant in Taiwan’s domestic economies because of itsinterrelationships with other industries. |
