Footnote:
(1) AMS is not subject to reduction or inclusion in the current  AMS because the calculated AMS is less than 5 per cent of value  of production ( de minimis  exclusion).
(2) Value of production (excluding forage crops, which is estimated as described in footnote (3)) is reported in "Taiwan Agricu ltural Yearbook" published by Department of
Agriculture and Forestry of the Taiwan Provincial Government.
(3) Value of production of forage crops is calculated on the basis of the planted acreage of forage crops times the yield per h a. of hay ( 15,000kg) times the estimated averaged
unit price (NT$4.5/kg).
(4) Value of production of other crops is calculated by deducting the sum value of the above crops (including rice, soybean, fe ed corn, sorghum, wheat, peanuts, sugar,
vegetables (including food corn), tobacco leaves, wine grapes, fruit (excluding wine grapes), ornamental plants, forage crops)  from the total value of crops  (including
forage crops).
 Other crops include millet, common beans, adzuki beans, mung beans, sweet potatoes, cassava, potatoes, tea, sugar-cane (fresh) , sesame, rapeseeds, cotton, tachia rush,
triangle rush, perfume plants, sisal, sunflowers, mildew, sericulture and other miscellaneous crops.WT/ACC/SPEC/TPKM/4

Rice Guaranteed purchases 1. There are two types of rice purchase,  planned or supplementary purchase. The purchase is made twice in a year divided into two
crops. The purchase and quantity are as follows:
(1) Planned Purchase
        The purchased quantity: 1,600kg per ha. for the first crop; 1,200 kg. per ha. for the second crop.        The purchased price:   NT$19/kg. for Japonica rice;  NT$18 /kg. for Indica rice.
(2) Supplementary Purchase
        The purchased quantity:  1,200/kg. per ha. for the first crop;  800 kg. per ha. for the second crop.        The purchased price:
  NT$16.5/kg. for Japonica rice;  NT$15.5/kg. for Indica rice.
                                       
2. The market price support is calculated on the basis of the difference between the guaranteed purchase price and the imported  price for
husk rice (import rice is determined by using Hong Kong's rice import price as reference; import data sourced from "Hong KongTrade Statistics," exchange rate data sourced from "Hong Kong Monthly Digest of Statistics") times the purchased quantity. The price
for imported husk rice is converted to the price for milled rice, using the conversion ratio between domestic husk rice and mil led rice.

Vegetables Deficiency payment The Department of Agriculture and Forestry of the Taiwan Provincial Government has implemented a pl an since 1976 to provide
subsidy for summer vegetables in the form of contract guaranteed price.  A "Summer Vegetables Guaranteed Price Fund" was
established in 1979 to provide subsidy for price difference.  The implementation period is from June 1 to October 31 each year.   The
guaranteed price is determined on the basis of 90% of the monthly weighted average price of Taipei Agricultural Products Market ing
Corporation in the most recent 5 years, but in no event such guaranteed price would exceed the guaranteed price for the precedi ng
year by more than NT$2.
Wine grapes Contract guaranteed purchase 1. The TTWMB signs contracts with farmers for the purchase of their products. The farmer s' associations are responsible for the
handling of the purchase.
2. Method for the calculation of internal support for contract purchase of wine grapes: (contract price - external reference pr ice) x
contract purchase quantity.
Contract price is based on the weighted average of the prices paid for the purchase of different grades of locally produced gra pes.
External reference price is determined by using prices of wine grapes in the State of California times 0.75 (quality adjustment )* plus
freight and insurance (at 10% of the price of Californian wine grapes).
*The coefficient of 0.75 is the quality adjustment coefficient calculated according to the difference between US grape sugar le vel
standard of 21 and Taiwan's wine grape sugar level standard of 15 and is sourced from "Final Grape Crush Report 1992 Crop."Data source for price of Californian wine grapes: Wines & Vines, July 1992

Summary of Contracting Guaranteed Price Marketing Plan for Summer Season Vegetables
A. BACKGROUND
In order to fully supply the vegetables to the domestic markets during the summer (Typhoon)
seasons, the big cities’ wholesale market entity tries to promote vegetable production and orderly
marketing scheme.  Since 1976 the Department of Agriculture and Forestry of Taiwan Provincial
Government (TPDAF) has implemented the Contracting Guaranteed Price Marketing Plan for
Summer Vegetables, under which the wholesale markets of populous cities contract with farmers’
organizations to set production targets and to ensure minimum market prices in order to supply the
insufficient summer vegetables.  The plan is init ially implemented by the Taipei Fruit and Vegetable
Wholesale Market, and later adopted by six other wholesale markets in Taiwan Province.  Farmers are
voluntary to join this programme.
B. SOURCE OF FUNDS FOR PRICE GUARANTEE
The Fund for Summer Vegetable Price Guarantee was established in 1979, and is governed by
the Committee of the Management and Use of the Summer Vegetable Price Guarantee Fund,
hereinafter referred to as the “Committee”.  The contributors to the Fund are Council of Agriculture,
TPDAF, Market Administrations in Taipei City and Kaohsiung City respectively, Taiwan Provincial
Farmers’ Association, Taiwan Provincial Agricu ltural Federated Cooperative, Taiwan Provincial
Fruits and Vegetables Marketing Cooperative, Taipei and Kaohsiung Agricultural Products MarketingCorporation.  The representative of each contributor organizes the Committee.
C. I
MPLEMENTATION PERIOD
From June 1 to October 31 each year.
D. CONDITIONS FOR FARMERS ’ ORGANIZATIONS PARTICIPATING IN THE PLAN
(a) Those with sound organization, good records in joint marketing, and the variety and
quality of their products meet markets’ demand;
(b) helping the grading and packaging of products for purposes of selling at reasonable
prices;  and,
(c) having been able to actually supply more than 50 per cent of the season’s target
supply quantity allocated to them or their monthly supplies meet 60 per  cent of the
target quantity at least for three months each year.
E. CRITERIA FOR SELECTION OF CONTRACT VEGETABLE AND GUARANTEED PRICE
(a) Agricultural Products Marketing Corporation in the same month of the most recent
five years, but in any case would not exceed the guaranteed price set for the preceding
year by more than two dollars;
(b) the products selected for including in the Plan are suggested by TPDAF to the
Committee for approval.WT/ACC/SPEC/TPKM/4
Page 41
F. CONTRACTED SUPPLY TARGET
1. The supply target is suggested by TPDAF to the Committee for approval.
2. Each contracting fruit and vegetable wholesale market would determine the monthly
requirement of various vegetable varieties and quantities according to the target set up by the
Committee.
G. PRICE DIFFERENCE SUBSIDY
Each fruit and vegetable wholesale market will calculate the averaged price of each product
which is shipped through the joint marketing on a weekly basis.  If the averaged price is lower than
the guaranteed price set up for the relevant month, the price difference will be subsidized according to
the following formula; on the other hand, if the averaged price is higher, no subsidy will be granted;
provided, however, the subsidy amount shall not exceed 50 per cent of the guaranteed price:
(a) The price difference would be subsidized by 100 per cent and the contracted quantity
would be eligible for such subsidy, if the actual supply quantity is located at between
100 per cent and 120 per cent of the contracted quantity;
(b) the price difference would be subsidized by 100 per cent and the actual supply
quantity would be eligible for such subsidy, if the actual supply quantity is located at
between 80 per cent and 100 per cent of the contracted quantity;
(c) the price difference would be subsidized by 90 per cent and the actual supply quantity
would be eligible for such subsidy, if the actual supply quantity is located at between
70 per cent and 80 per cent of the contracted quantity;
(d) the price difference would be subsidized by 80 per cent and the actual supply quantity
would be eligible for such subsidy, if the actual supply quantity is located at between
60 per cent and 70 per cent of the contracted quantity;
(e) the price difference would be subsidized by 60 per cent and the contracted quantity
would be eligible for such subsidy, if the actual supply quantity is located at between
120 per cent and 150 per cent of the contracted quantity.WT/ACC/SPEC/TPKM/4
