Abstract
Excerpt from the report Introduction: The study was initiated in the belief that an understanding of Taiwan's agricultural development will hold important lessons that can be applied to the problems of modernizing agriculture in other underdeveloped regions of the world. Therefore, emphasis is placed on the organizational or institutional conditions necessary for implementing and increasing motivation for progress. In general, this study addresses itself to three questions: (a) what changes in agricultural output took place in Taiwan, (b) how were increases in production and productivity achieved, and (c) what changes in the arrangements between people were necessary to achieve these?
