Hoping to hasten farmland liberalization, action by senior rural legislators led to the passage of the first reading last December of provisions that would immediately allow non-agricultural use of farmland for all land outside certain designated zones, and, after one year, unrestricted selling of all agricultural land (though certain land designated for agricultural use only could only be used for farming even after sale).
立法院老農派立委為了使農地能夠盡快開放自由買賣，去年十二月十七日初審通過，將特定農業區以外的農業生產用地全數開放移轉，並且明訂修正條文實行一年後，所有農地開放自由買賣，不過開放後農地仍只限於農用。
