Page 7Footnote:
(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 (6)) is reported in the "Taiwan Ag ricultural Yearbook" published by
Department of Agriculture and Forestry of the Taiwan Provincial Government.
(3)/ "Vegetables" include food corn, radishes, carrots, other root  vegetables, ginger, taros, scallions, scallion bulbs, onions,  leeks, garlic, garlic bulbs, water-chestnuts,
water bamboo, asparagus, other stem vegetables, cabbages, leaf-mustard, chinese cabbages, celery cabbages, water-convolvulus, c elery, other leaf vegetables,
cauliflower, lily flowers, oriental pickling melons, cucumbers, white gourds, bitter gourds, eggplants, tomatoes, peppers, kidn ey beans, peas, vegetable soybeans,
other fruit vegetables, watermelons, seed watermelons, cantaloupes and strawberries.
(4)/ "Fruits" include bananas, pineapples, citrus-ponkans, wentan pomeloes, citrus-tou pomeloes, satsuma oranges, citrus-valenci as, citrus-tankans, liuchengs, lemons,
grapefruits, other citrus fruits, longans, mangoes, betel nuts, guavas, plums, peaches, persimmons, papayas, wax apples, grapes , loquats, Japanese apricots, lichees,
olives, carambolas, pears, apples, jujubes, sugar apples, passion fruits and other fruits.
(5)/ "Ornamental plants" include chrysanthemum, gladiolus, tubero se, dahlia, rose, other cut flowers, bulbs, herbaceous flower s eeds, nurseries and potted flowers.
(6)/ Value of production of "forage crops" is calculated on the basis of the planted acreage of forage crops times the yield pe r ha. of hay (15,000kg) times the estimated
averaged unit price (NT$4.5/kg).  The average unit price of hay is  calculated on the basis of surveyed production costs by the Animal Industry Department of COA.
A breakdown of the production costs include NT$0.4/kg of fertiliser, NT$1.0/kg of labour expenses, NT$1.6/kg of drying and proc essing, NT$0.5/kg of
transportation, NT$0.5/kg of storage and marketing, and NT$0.5/kg of land rent.
(7)/ Value of production of "other crops" is calculated by deducting the sum value of the crops listed in Supporting Table DS:4 ((including rice, soybean, feed corn,
sorghum, wheat, peanuts, sugar, vegetables (including food corn), tobacco leaves, wine grapes, fruit (excluding wine grapes), o rnamental 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/10/Rev.1

Rice Guaranteed purchases 1. There are two types of rice purchase, pl anned or supplementary purchase. The purchase is made twice in
a year divided into two crops. The purchase and quantity are as follows:
(a) Planned Purchase
The purchased quantity: 1,920kg per ha. for the first crop; 1,440kg per ha. For the second crop.
The purchased price: NT$19/kg for Japonica rice and NT$ 18/kg for Indica rice for the first crop of 1993;
NT$21/kg for Japonica rice and NT$20/kg for Indica rice since the second crop of 1993.(b) Supplementary Purchase
The purchased quantity: 1,200kg per ha. for the first crop; 800kg per ha. for the second crop.
The purchased price: NT$16.5/kg for Japonica rice and NT$ 15.5/kg for Indica rice for the first crop of
1993; NT$18/kg for Japonica rice and NT$17/kg for Indica rice since the second crop of 1993.
2. The market price support is calculated on the basis of the difference between the guaranteed purchaseprice and the imported price for paddy rice times the purchased quantity. The imported price of rice is
determined by using Hong Kong's price as reference. The imported value and volume is sourced from
"Hong Kong Trade Statistics." Exchange rate is sour ced from "Hong Kong Monthly Digest of Statistics."
The price for imported milled rice is converted to the price for paddy rice, using the conversion ratio
between domestic milled rice and paddy rice (refer to Attachment 3).
Soybeans 1. Guaranteed purchase
2. Diversion payment,
bonus payment.1. Budget outlays are used as non-exempt direct payment for soybean purchase. The government
purchased soybean three crops a year at NT$ 25/kg; 2.5 M.T. per ha. and sold at the market price.
2. There is a diversion payment of NT$ 16,500 per ha. made for the first crop of 1993 and NT$18,000
made since the second crop of 1993. In the case of group conversion, there is a bonus payment of NT$4,000 per ha. since the first crop of 1990.

Vegetables Deficiency payment The Department of Agriculture and Fo restry 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 thebasis of 90% of the monthly weighted average pr ice of Taipei Agricultural Products Marketing
Corporation in the most recent 5 years, but in no event such guaranteed price would exceed the guaranteed
price for the preceding year by more than NT$ 2.
Wine grapes Contract guaranteed
purchase1. The TTWMB signs contracts with farmers for the purchase of their products. The farmers' associations
are responsible for the handling of the purchase.
2. Method for the calculation of internal suppo rt for contract purchase of wine grapes:
   (contract price - external reference price) 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 grapes. External reference price is dete rmined 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 level standard of 20 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
Data source for contract purchase quantity: TTWMB
Tobacco
leavesContract guaranteed
purchase1. The TTWMB signs contracts with farmers for the purchase of their products at guaranteed price.
2. Method for the calculation of internal suppo rt for contract purchase of tobacco leaves:
   (contract price - external reference price) x contract purchase quantityContract price is based on the weighted average of the prices paid for the purchase of different grades of
locally produced tobacco leaves.
Data Source for contract price and external reference price: TTWMB
Data source for contract purchase quantity: TTWMBWT/ACC/SPEC/TPKM/10/Rev.1
Page 28Wheat Contract guaranteed
purchase1. The TTWMB signs contracts with farmers for the purchase of their products at guaranteed price.
2. Method for the calculation of internal support for contract purchase of wheat:
  (contract price - imported price) x contract purchase quantity
Imported price is based on C.I.F. price data sourced  from "Monthly Statistic of Imports," published by
Directorate General of Customs, Ministry of Finance.
Sugar Contract guaranteed
purchase1. Taiwan Sugar Corporation contracts with farmers according to the "Rules Governing the Contract Sugar
Business of Taiwan Province" on the purchase of sugarcane and share the prices of sugar made thereof
with farmers. Sugar has two prices, one for export a nd the other for domestic sale. Income of sugarcane
farmers' are of the following two types:
(a) Domestic sales, if the price is higher than the prepaid contract price, the whole of the domestic sale
price goes to the farmers; if the domestic sale price is lower than the prepaid price, the farmers retain the
prepaid price.
(b) Export sales, if the export sale price is higher than the export guaranteed price, the whole of the export
price goes to the farmers; if the export price is lower than the export guaranteed price, the farmers will get
the export guaranteed price.
2. Formula for the calculation of sugar internal support:
(a) Domestic sales: (contract prepaid price - external reference price) x domestic sale volume
(b) Export sales: (export guaranteed price - external reference price) x export volume
(c) External price: C&F price of importWT/ACC/SPEC/TPKM/10/Rev.1

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 vegetables 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’
organisations 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 arevoluntary to join this programme.
B. S
OURCE 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 Agricult ural Federated Co-operative, Taiwan Provincial
Fruits and Vegetables Marketing Co-operative, Taipei and Kaohsiung Agricultural Products
Marketing Corporation.  The representative of each contributor organises the Committee.
C. I
MPLEMENTATION PERIOD
From 1 June to 31 October each year.
D. CONDITIONS FOR FARMERS ’ ORGANISATIONS 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) Guaranteed price is determined on the basis of 90 per cent of the weighted average
prices of Taipei 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/10/Rev.1
Page 33
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 subsidised 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 subsidised 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 subsidised 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 subsidised 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 subsidised 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 subsidised 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/10/Rev.1

(5) "Ornamental plants" include chrysanthemum, gladiolus, tubero se, dahlia, rose, other cut flowers, bulbs, herbaceous flower s eeds, nurseries and potted flowers.
(6) "Value of production of forage crops" is calculated on the basis of the planted acreage of forage crops times the yield per  ha. of hay (15,000kg) times the estimated
average unit price (NT$4.5/kg). The average unit price of hay is calculated on the basis of surveyed production costs by the An imal Industry Department of COA. A
breakdown of the production costs include NT$0.4/kg of fertilizer, NT$1.0/kg of labor expenses, NT$1.6/kg of drying and process ing, NT$0.5/kg of transportation,
NT$0.5/kg of storage and marketing, and NT$0.5/kg of land rent.
(7) "Value of production of other crops" is calculated by deducting the sum value of the crops listed in Supporting Table DS:4 (including rice, soybean, feed corn,
sorghum, wheat, peanuts, sugar, vegetables (including food corn), tobacco leaves, wine grapes, fruit (excluding wine grapes), o rnamental 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,

The market price support is calculated on the basis of the difference between the guaranteed purchase price and the
imported price for paddy rice times the purchased quantity. The imported price of rice is determined by using Hong Kong's
price as reference. The imported value and volume is sourced from "Hong Kong Trade Statistics." Exchange rate is sourced
from "Hong Kong Monthly Digest of Statistics." The price for imported milled rice is converted to the price for paddy rice,using the conversion ratio between domestic milled rice and paddy rice (Refer to Attachment 3).

Vegetables Deficiency payment The Department of Agriculture and Fo restry 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. Theimplementation 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 Taip ei Agricultural Products Marketing Corporation in the
most recent 5 years, but in no event such guaranteed price would exceed the guaranteed price for the preceding
year by more than NT$ 2.
Wine grapes Contract guaranteed
purchase1. The TTWMB signs contracts with farmers for the purchase of their products. The farmers' associations are
responsible for the handling of the purchase.
2. Method for the calculation of internal suppo rt for contract purchase of wine grapes:
   (contract price - external reference price) x contract purchase quantity
Contract price is based on the weighted average of the prices paid for the purchase of different grades of locallyproduced grapes. 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 level standard of 20 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

goes to the farmers; if the domestic sale price is lower than the prepaid price, the farmers retain the prepaid
price.
(b) Export sales, if the export sale price is higher than the export guaranteed price, the whole of the export price
goes to the farmers; if the export price is lower than the export guaranteed price, the farmers will get the export
guaranteed price.

Summary of Contracting Guaranteed Price Marketing Plan for Summer Season Vegetables
A. BACKGROUND
(i) 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
vegetables 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’ organisations to set production targets and to ensure minimum market prices
in order to supply the insufficient summer vegetables.  The plan is initiallyimplemented 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. S
OURCE 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 Agricult ural Federated Co-operative, Taiwan Provincial
Fruits and Vegetables Marketing Co-operative, Taipei and Kaohsiung Agricultural Products
Marketing Corporation.  The representative of each contributor organises the Committee.
C. IMPLEMENTATION PERIOD
From 1 June to 31 October each year.
D. CONDITIONS FOR FARMERS ’ ORGANISATIONS 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) Guaranteed price is determined on the basis of 90 per cent of the weighted average
prices of Taipei Agricultural Products Marketing Corporation in the same month ofthe 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/10/Rev.1
Page 65
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 subsidised 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 subsidised 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 subsidised by 100 per cent and the actual supply
quantity would be eligible for such subsidy, if the actual supply quantity is located atbetween 80 per cent and 100 per cent of the contracted quantity;
(c) the price difference would be subsidised 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 subsidised 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 subsidised 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/10/Rev.1

(5)/ "Ornamental plants" include chrysanthemum, gladiolus, tube rose, dahlia, rose, other cut flowers, bulbs, herbaceous flower seeds, nurseries and potted flowers.
(6)/ Value of production of "forage crops" is calculated on the basis of the planted acreage of forage crops times the yield pe r ha. of hay (15,000kg) times the estimated
averaged unit price (NT$4.5/kg).  The average unit price of hay is  calculated on the basis of surveyed production costs by the Animal Industry Department of COA.
A breakdown of the production costs include NT$0.4/kg of fertiliser, NT$1.0/kg of labour expenses, NT$1.6/kg of drying and proc essing, NT$0.5/kg of
transportation, NT$0.5/kg of storage and marketing, and NT$0.5/kg of land rent.
(7)/ Value of production of "other crops" is calculated by deducting the sum value of the crops listed in Supporting Table DS:4  ((including rice, soybean, feed corn,
sorghum, wheat, peanuts, sugar, vegetables (including food corn), tobacco leaves, wine grapes, fruit (excluding wine grapes), o rnamental 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

Vegetables Deficiency payment The Department of Agriculture and Fo restry 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 guara nteed price is determined on the basis of 90% of the
monthly weighted average price of Taipei Agricultural Products Marketing Corporation in the most recent 5 years,
but in no event such guaranteed price would exceed the gu aranteed price for the preceding year by more than NT$

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 referen ce price) x contract purchase quantity
Contract price is based on the weighted average of the pr ices paid for the purchase of different grades of locally
produced grapes. 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 co efficient calculated according to the difference between US
grape sugar level standard of 20 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 1992Data source for contract purchase quantity: TTWMB

Summary of Contracting Guaranteed Price Marketing Plan for Summer Season Vegetables
A. B ACKGROUND
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 vegetables 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 fa rmers’ organisations to set production targets and to
ensure minimum market prices in order to supply the insufficient summer vegetables.  The plan is initially
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. S

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 ar e Council of Agriculture, TPDAF, Market Administrations
in Taipei City and Kaohsiung City respectively, Taiw an Provincial Farmers’ Association, Taiwan Provincial
Agricultural Federated Co-operative, Taiwan Provincial Fruits and Vegetables Marketing Co-operative, Taipei
and Kaohsiung Agricultural Products Marketing Corporation.  The representative of each contributor organises
the Committee.
C. I MPLEMENTATION PERIOD
From 1 June to 31 October each year.
D. C ONDITIONS FOR FARMERS ’ ORGANISATIONS 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. C RITERIA FOR SELECTION OF CONTRACT VEGETABLE AND GUARANTEED PRICE
(a) Guaranteed price is determined on the basis of 90 per cent of the weighted average prices of
Taipei Agricultural Products Marketing Corporation in the same month of the most recent five
years, but in any case would not exceed the guar anteed price set for the preceding year by more
than two dollars;
(b) the products selected for including in the Pl an are suggested by TPDAF to the Committee for
approval.WT/ACC/SPEC/TPKM/10/Rev.1
Page 94
F. C ONTRACTED 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. P RICE 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 priceset up for the relevant month, the price difference will be subsidised 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 subsidised by 100 per cent and the contracted quantity would be
eligible for such subsidy, if the actual supp ly quantity is located at between 100 per cent and
120 per cent of the contracted quantity;
(b) the price difference would be subsidised 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 subsidised 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 and80 per cent of the contracted quantity;
(d) the price difference would be subsidised 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 subsidised 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/10/Rev.1
