摘要

沙鹿鎮所屬土地主要分佈於大肚臺地，自清代移墾以來，農民僅能以種植旱田作物爲主。在這些旱田農產品中，花生與芝麻適於榨油，因而促使傳統榨油業（油車間）於1920年代逐漸在沙鹿鎮興起。尤其二次世界戰後之1960-1970年代，油壓榨油設備的興起，使得油品產能提高，沙鹿鎮的傳統榨油業乃於此時，以花生油爲主要產品而達到全盛階段。不過，傳統榨油業之產品，雖然保有香醇特質，卻難敵現代化工廠溶劑提油大量生產之價格競爭，以及現代人改爲食用大豆沙拉油之衝擊。因此1980年代以後，沙鹿鎮之傳統榨油業，不是縮小經營規模，就是停工歇業。面對傳統榨油業的凋零，如何轉變以生產麻油爲主，並且開發相關副產品（例如油漬保養品），甚至營造文化創意產業效能，是爲傳統產業與文化傳承需要共同努力之課題。

Because most of the land in Shalu Township is located on the Dadu terrace, farmers have mostly been able to grow only upland crops since the Qing Dynasty. Among these upland crops, peanuts and sesame seeds are suitable for oil pressing, and a traditional oil pressing industry therefore gradually emerged in Shalu Township starting in the 1920s. The increasing availability of hydraulic oil pressing equipment during the 1960s and 70s increased oil output. Shalu Township's traditional oil pressing industry, which chiefly produced peanut oil, reached its zenith around that time. On the other hand, although the traditional oil pressing industry produces fragrant, high-quality oils, it cannot compete on price with modern plants employing solvent extraction processes, and was also impacted by the growing use of edible soybean oil. Because of this, since the 1980s, Shalu Township's traditional oil pressers have either gone out of business, or have shrunk their scale of operations.
In view of the decline of the traditional oil pressing industry, supporters of traditional industries and cultural transmission need to encourage the industry to switch to the production of sesame oil, develop relevant byproducts, and foster cultural arts industry offshoots.
