¡@Recently, with the speedy pace of upcoming WTO negotiation, import tariff imposed on rice become inevitable. Thus, agriculture in Taiwan has been trapped by the depression atmosphere caused by WTO negotiation. How to make rice industry in Taiwan enjoy a clear business climate and bring with revival development opportunities under globalization is really a critical issue worthy of our concern.
¡@¡@This research is not only aimed to insightfully understand the impact on rice industries in Taiwan after WTO entry but also intended to explore whether the promoted agriculture policies can reach profit goals set by farmers, enhance the competence of local rice and establish marketing outlets under open rice markets. Thus, this research is designed with questionnaires based on SWOT analysis structures. Also, through questionnaire surveys and in-depth interview on farmers and personnel from farmers' association, it is aimed to delineate what impact and challenge (menace) will affect local rice industries after Taiwan's WTO entry. Also, the possible breakthrough opportunities and development to improve the competence of local rice products, together with insightful knowledge on the advantages of natural environment and human culture conditions on Kaohsiung and Pingtung regions are also explored.
¡@¡@Research results indicate that aging farmers show less cognition to advantages, disadvantages and opportunities than that of younger farmers. The employees' cognition to advantages and disadvantages from farmers' associations is stronger than that of amateur or professional farmers. The respondents in Pingtung regions show stronger cognition to advantages and disadvantages to that of respondents on Kaohsiung regions. Higher-educated farmers show stronger cognition to opportunities. Families with higher income show stronger cognition to disadvantages. Finally, based on results from questionnaire surveys and in-depth interview, the suggestion is proposed to solve the possible influential issues on rice industries after Taiwan's WTO entry. It is expected through this research; the issues from the stakeholders in rice industries can be clearly highlighted with beneficial reference for governmental agencies, farmers and scholars to put forward production and marketing strategies in rice industries under WTO.
