However, given the fact that the VAC now controls less than 100 hectares of farmland, many people are skeptical that this action will have much impact, considering that nationwide there are 150,000 hectares of mountain land being farmed legally as well as 50,000-plus being farmed in violation of restrictions.
但是以目前退輔會已不到一百公頃的農業區域，是否能牽動其他十五萬公頃的中高海拔合法農地及五萬多公頃的超限利用地也加入行列？許多人並不看好。
