為調控國內稻米產業及水資源分配,農糧署自110年開始推行稻作四選三政策,稻農於連續4個期作中,最多可選擇3個期作種植水稻申報繳交公糧,最少1個期作申報種植水稻以外作物。為了解中部地區稻農產銷現況及參與稻作四選三政策意願,本研究以問卷方式調查中部地區408位種植水稻農友,調查結果顯示28.4%農友完全了解、14.5%不是很了解及只有聽過,高達55.6%農友不支持稻作四選三政策,其中不支持原因以除了水稻外,不知道要種什麼為最多(32.5%)、其次為休耕長雜草病蟲害不好管理(24.7%)、當地沒有其他作物業者可與契作(13.0%)、不知道其他作物怎麼種(13.0%)等。建議未來應給予休耕田區管理、轉作、認驗證標章及加強媒合契作業者等輔導協助,並加強政策宣導,提高農友了解稻作四選三政策內容及推行效益,以提高農友對政策的參與度與支持。
In order to regulate the domestic rice industry and water resource allocation, the Agriculture and Food Agency has implemented the policy of choosing three-rice-cropping within four cropping seasons after 2021. In four consecutive cropping seasons, a maximum of three cropping seasons can be selected to declare and pay public grain for rice cultivation, and a minimum of one season for planting crops other than rice. To understand the current production and marketing situation of rice farmers in the central Taiwan and their willingness to participate in the rice planting policy, this study used questionnaires to survey 408 rice farmers. The results showed that 28.4% of the farmers fully understood the policy, and 14.5% did not understand it very well. However, more than 55.6% of farmers do not support the policy, and they do not know what to plant other than rice (32.5%) was the main reason. Besides, a difficult management to weeds, diseases and insect pests in fallow fields (24.7%), a few contract farming in the local area (13.0%), and without knowledge to grow other crops (13.0%) also needed consideration. It is recommended that policy publicity should be strengthened in the future to improve farmers' understanding, and providing guidance and assistance on fallow field area management to increase farmers' participation and support for the policy.
