In recent years Taiwan's agricultural sector has faced a number of challenges both internal and external, including intensifying climate change, depletion of natural resources, fragmenting of arable land, extreme competition from highly liberalized international trade, severe price fluctuations, a shortage of agricultural labor, and an aging farming population. These problems make it urgent to undertake agricultural transformation and industrial upgrading. Raising farmers' incomes and ensuring that consumers can buy safe agricultural products are major policy goals of the Council of Agriculture (COA). Starting with the objectives of ensuring the wellbeing of farmers, industrial guidance, and improving infrastructure, the COA actively resolves farmers' problems, adjusts the industrial structure, and makes it possible for policy to be promoted in a pragmatic manner and in step with the times, thereby advancing agricultural modernization and innovation.
