Abstract For understanding the distribution of food dollar which we pay for our expenditure and how much Taiwanese farmers will earn from food dollar in the value added agriculture of Taiwan, this paper examines, with a filter of U.S. ERS food dollar series, Taiwan s food dollar series, including marketing bill series, industry group series, and primary factor series using Input-Output accounts of Taiwan. For sustainable development in Taiwan, it is better to transform from traditional agriculture to value-added agriculture. Since enhancing the competitiveness of agriculture and pursuing inclusive growth, it would be necessary to pay attention to farmers value and consider both farmers and agricultural supply chain to implement the effective and comprehensive agricultural policy.
