"Strengthening that farmland used for farming is one of the goals of Taiwan's agricultural direct payment policy. And the key to achieving this policy goal is whether fallow farmers will resume farming due to direct payment measures. This study collects empirical data through questionnaires, and establishes the distribution of re-cultivation of rice and other crops to the risk premium based on economic theory models, and conducts empirical analysis by the distribution. The empirical results of this study point out that when the payment amount is TWD 25,000/ha per cropping season, the marginal area increase in percentage of fallow to rice and fallow to other crops will be the largest (0.207% and 0.165%, respectively). In total, about 5.253% of fallow farmland will resume farming due to direct payment measures. For non-qualified farmland, under the agri-environmental basic payment, the payment amount is set at TWD 5,000/ha per cropping season, the cumulative area percentage of re-cultivation is about 0.046%. This measure may have a certain effect on the policy goal of farmland used for farming, but compared with the potential profits of illegal use of abandoned farmland, the effect of the measure is obviously insufficient. The study recommends that in order to prevent the abandonment and the illegal use, the government should appropriately adjust the direct payment, strengthen investigations, and timely forced removal. This can effectively curb illegal use, slow down the loss of fertile agricultural land, and protect precious farmland resources." |
