摘要

日本統治臺灣後，隨即開始進行各項調查工作，尤其著重於臺灣的產業經濟。1895年9月即公布了「產業調查報告要點」，開始展開各地方產業經濟相關調查。1899年臺灣實施食鹽專賣時，是否也曾做過類似的產業調查，調查內容及調查後建議為何？是否為臺灣總督府所採納？調查結果與專賣決策又有何種關連均為本文討論重點。本文針對日治初期臺灣總督府鹽業政策的轉變，利用總督府公文類纂資料，探討鹽業調查報告與鹽業政策由官鹽廢止到食鹽專賣的關連性。藉由日治初期臺灣鹽業政策的轉變可發現，臺灣總督府透過鹽業調查，掌握臺灣鹽業發展與食鹽產銷，更瞭解臺灣鹽業的發展性，也成為決策時重要參考依據，但各種調查報告是否能影響政策決定，端看臺灣總督府的取決，以臺灣南部鹽業調查報告書為例，報告書中清楚呈現臺灣鹽業潛力，使臺灣總督府依其報告書決定實施專賣制度，但同時卻忽視調查者認為應該採取自由競爭的建議。
