Abstract:	"To meet the requirements of membership in the World Trade Organization (WTO) as specified in 2001, Taiwan must rely less on price supports and other traditional policies to support its agricultural sector. In addition, it must open its agricultural markets to increased imports. Central to this reexamination of agricultural policy is the potential conflict between domestic and international policy goals. For many, these so-called 'non-trade' concerns (NTCs) are captured in the concept of 'multifunctionality', which characterizes agriculture as a multi-output activity, generating both agricultural commodities and non-commodity outputs that are valued by society."
