Comparative Studies on Implementing the Strategies & Measures for Higher Yielding, Quality and Profit Agriculture Between China, the Netherlands and Two Sides of the Taiwan Strait

Higher yielding, quality and profits has long been accomplished by the Netherlands and Taiwan province in their agricultural sector, whose population density and per capita share of arable land are similar to China (mainland). Their fundemental experience can be summarized as: 1. to take the policy of providing higher quality agro-products for ever-upgrading markets at home and abroad as an impetus to orientation, and to have the production structure, research priorities and new discipline installation all based on it; 2. farmers are qualified in knowledge and technology due to an u-nique education system and training model; 3. agricultural research has been closely linked with engineering, and the exploration of technology, produce and market; 4. industries give powerful support to hi-tech agriculture such as environment-controlled horticulture and precised processing of a-gro-substances; 5. harmonious coordination existed between sectors of agro-production, processing, commerce and international trade, aiming at a common target. Although there are few specific conditions for China to realize its higher yielding, quality & profit agriculture, solutions for breaking the barriers still can be worked out in the light of these experiences. An urgent need is to formulate national program and action plans of upgrading the quality of agro-product, so that rare market opportunity of export could be grasped, and technical reformation could be then driven on the scale of whole agricultural sector.
