臺灣柑橘產業現況及未來展望

Abstract

本省柑橘栽培面積目前高達4萬8千餘公頃，年產量52萬餘公噸，價值逾30億元，為本省水果中面積最廣、產量最高及生產價值最高者，惟近年此一產業遭遇種種問題，果農受挫，投資改良柑園不踴躍，致本省柑橘產業目前呈現停滯甚至衰退現象。 為復興本省柑橘產業，行政院農委會於民國70年研擬臺灣柑橘產業發展輔導方案，針對木省柑橘產業目前遭遇之困難問題提出改進方案。已由有關單位組織健全之諮議與指導體系正依據該方案積極推動。相信在各有關單位之共同努力下，未來本省柑橘產業將於不擴充栽培面積之情況下改善柑橘園之生產力、生產技術，並延長柑橘樹之壽命，達到提高單位面積產量、提高品質並降低生產成本之目的。 Taiwan Province has more than 480,000 Ha. of citrus plantation with over 520,000 MT fruit harvested in 1988 equaled to more than 3 billion NT dollars in value. But for some reasons, e. g. the famers did not invest more money to improve their field practices for they lossed money in their citrus orchards. To solve the problems of the industry, COA(Council of Agriculture) set a long range TAIWAN CITRUS INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT PROJECT in 1981. Commitees boards of the project were established with defferent staffs from several citrus related offices and institutions. We believed under the aide of this project the industry without increasing planting acreage can be reached the aim of increasing unit-area productivity and minimizing the production cost by improvement of field practices and prolonging the tree life.
