Tilapia farming has a largest annual production and is an important aquaculture in Taiwan. This farming is at the second leading place according to its total farming area.
Tilapia produced in Taiwan is majorly supply the need for the international demand. If the international demand is declining as the results of price concern or trade barriers that may cause over supply in Taiwan’s domestic market.
In order to reduce the possible risks, the annual production quantity of tilapia in Taiwan need to be properly managed. The objective of this research is to estimate a set of optimal prices for domestic market concern based on a series of evaluations on supply-demand model, producer- consumer surplus and overall social welfare. As a result, an optimal production scale on Taiwan’s tilapia farming may be well planned out for the policy maker.
The results of this study indicated that the international demand has a significant effect on the profitability of domestic marketing in Taiwan. This study further pointed out that an optimal annual production of Taiwan’s tilapia would be at 73,521 tons according to an estimated optimal price of 40TD/kg for the producers concern. Therefore, the total farming area of tilapia at present would be better reduced by 708 hectares which may be reallocated for the grouper farming in future. As the result, this management may help the tilapia farming to be sustainable and may increase the economic efficiency of Taiwan aquaculture as a whole.
