Economist Yang Feng-shuo choruses this, saying: "Focusing on guarantees and preferential treatment for agricultural prices and assets created a vicious surplus cycle-the more a farmer produced, the higher the guaranteed prices he could get. Taiwan agriculture was no longer competitive."
「針對農業價格、農業資財的保證與優惠，造成生產越多，可獲得的保證價格越高，循環性的生產過剩，讓農業慢慢失去了競爭力，」經濟學者楊豐碩也說。
