Analysis on Agricultural Integration across Taiwan Straits

The basis of the agricultural integration across the straits is the complementary character of the present agricultural development status of the Mainland and Taiwan and the co-challenges facing the two sides after the admission of the WTO.The free flow of agricultural products and factors,the increase of the consumers' welfare,the restructuring function of agriculture and the effect of large scale production are some of the benefits that will be created by the agricultural integration across the straits.The author strongly suggests the two sides openly declare the plan of integrating the two agricultures,and set up the agricultural supply chain across the straits.At the same time,the Taiwan administration should allow the Mainland capitalist to invest in the field of agriculture in the island,for the good of achieving a balance of agricultural integration across the straits.
