Abstract:
【Objective/Meaning】The agricultural exchanges and cooperation between Fujian and Taiwan have always been at the forefront of the country. Zhangzhou was the most active region in carrying out the integrated development of agriculture between Taiwan and the Chinese mainland, and also the pioneering region in the agricultural cooperation and exchange between Fujian and Taiwan. The amount and scale of agricultural investment from Taiwan ranked the first among the cities divided into districts in China, playing a demonstrative and leading role in the country. 【Methods/Procedures】Through exploration and development, Zhangzhou has established four platforms, namely, the agricultural exposition & flower exposition, Taiwan Innovation Park in Zhangpu, and the agricultural integrated development industrial park between Fujian and Taiwan, etc. And Zhangzhou has also formed four mechanisms, namely, the agricultural industrial integration mechanism, the national new farmers training mechanism across the Taiwan Straits, and the provincial new financing mechanism for Taiwan enterprises and Taiwan farmers, which further promoted the integrated development between Zhangzhou and Taiwan and formed the "Zhangzhou Model" of agricultural cooperation with Taiwan. 【Results/Conclusions】Zhangzhou’s pioneering experiments in the introduction and utilization of Taiwanese investment and the integrated development of industries have played a positive role in promoting the transformation and upgrading of modern agriculture in the whole city and even the whole province, increasing the farmers’ production and income and enhancing the cross-strait grass-roots exchanges. The "Zhangzhou Model" of agricultural cooperation between Fujian and Taiwan was being popularized and applied by relevant departments of the country.
