To cope with the rapid changes in the domestic and international market trends, and to augment the competitiveness of Taiwan’s agricultural sector, the traditional modes of production must be improved in order to enhance their operational efficiencies, and add or create product value. Nonetheless, the adoption of new operation modes entails the associated costs. To accelerate the extension and application of new operation modes, it is necessary to provide producers information and knowledge on the benefits of adopting new operation modes. And in order to improve the efficiency of agricultural operations, and enhance the competitiveness of agri-food products, this Division is establishing economic impact assessment modules to inventory the effects of adopting new varieties, new technologies or new practices.
