Page 9Footnote:
(1)/  AMS is not subject to reduction or inclusion in the curre nt AMS because the calculated AMS is less than 5 per cent of val ue of production ( de minimis  exclusion).
(2)/ Value of production (excluding forage crops, which is estimated as described in footnote (3)) is reported in the "Taiwan A gricultural Yearbook" published by
Department of Agriculture and Forestry of the Taiwan Provincial Government.
(3)/  "Vegetables" include food corn, radi shes, carrots, other root vegetables, ginger, taros, scallions, scallion bulbs, onion s, 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-valenc ias, 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, 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
rush, triangle rush, perfume plants, sisal, sunflowers, mildew, sericulture and other miscellaneous crops.WT/ACC/SPEC/TPKM/4/Rev.3

The purchased price: NT$19/kg for Japonica rice; NT$ 18/kg for Indica rice.

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 "SummerVegetables 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 thebasis 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 gu aranteed price would exceed the guaranteed price for the
preceding 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 farme rs' 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 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 Californianwine grapes).Data source for price of Californian wine grapes: Wines & Vines, July 1992Data source for contract purchase quantity: TTWMB
Tobacco leaves Contract guaranteed purchase 1. The TTWMB signs cont racts with farmers for the purchase of their products at guara nteed price.
2. Method for the calculation of internal support for contract purchase of tobacco leaves:
(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 oflocally produced tobacco leaves.Data Source for contract price and external reference price: TTWMBData source for contract purchase quantity: TTWMB
Wheat Contract guaranteed purchase 1. The TTWMB signs contracts with  farmers for the purchase of their products at guaranteed pri ce.
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

Sugar Contract guaranteed purchase 1. Taiwan Sugar Corporation co ntracts with farmers according to the "Rules Governing the Contr act Sugar
Business of Taiwan Province" on the purchase of sugarcane and share the prices of sugar made thereof withfarmers.  Sugar has two prices, one for export and 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 pri ce 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, thefarmers will get the export guaranteed price.
2. Formula for the calculation of sugar internal support:
(a) Domestic sales:
(contract prepaid price - external  price) x domestic sale volume
(b) Export sales:
(export guaranteed price – external price) x export volume
(c) External price: C&F. price of import
∗ The coefficient of 0.75 is the quality adjustment coefficien t calculated according to the difference between United States' gr ape sugar level standard of 20 and
Chinese Taipei's wine grape sugar level standard of 15 and is sourced from "Final Grape Crush Report 1992 Crop".WT/ACC/SPEC/TPKM/4/Rev.3

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/4/Rev.3
Page 45
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/4/Rev.3
