Summary:碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 農業經濟學研究所 === 99 === Abstract Due to the economic globalization and trade liberalization, the competitiveness of the small landlords in Taiwan has been declined. Ageing population of Taiwanese farmers has caught enormous concerns . Due to the decreased profit on agricutural production, it is not easy to attract young farmers to stay in farming. As a result, the average of the land scope are small, and the farm management is inefficiency. The policy proposal of “small landlords and big tenant” from Taiwan has followed the same topic with the proposal of “the land contract and management rights transfer system” in China, whose purposes are to reduce the ageing problem in agriculture and to expand the farm management. The objective of this study is to let the older farmers be willing to rent their owed land to the person who is willing to expand the farm scale of operation, so that the older farmers can enjoy their retirement, also to increase the farm production efficiency and the agriculture competitiveness. The researcher has invested a farm manage department in Chihu town, Zhangpu county, Fujian, and take it as a study case. In order to integrate the local individual farmers into a single agribusiness, the researcher uses the way of transferring the right to operate individual farms to the department. We look forward to create more industrial added value so that the farmers can gain more benefit. The conclusions of the study are: (a) change and innovate the marketing ways of traditional agriculture product, (b) increase investment, create market differences through the change of technology of production, (c) with the habits of Chinese consumers, making product segmentation in order to create more business opportunities. At the same time, the reason of the successful implementations are as follows: (a) because of the reasonable and effective contract and the geopolitics, the residents are mostly relatives so that can strengthen the contract implementation, (b) the proposal of “small landlords and big tenant” should start from a specific set of regional, (c) the government should strengthen the policy advocacy, using the successful cases in various countries for the promotion, in order to strengthen the farmers’ confidence and cohesion, and (d) the government should take care of the farmers at policy act and tax system.
