Since the government was the largest landlord of all, the third stage of reform was to sell public farmland to tenants, with payment spread over ten years. This policy was implemented from 1951 through 1975, in nine phases. According to MOI statistics, 286,000 farming households benefited, with over 139,000 hectares of land released.
In 1953, following the 37.5-percent rent reduction and the sale of public farmland, the government took the final step in its land reform—the land-to-the-tiller program, transferring land ownership from landlords to tenant farmers.
When ownership was transferred, landowners were compensated over a period of 10 years, receiving 70 percent of the purchase price in land bonds to be redeemed in kind, in rice or sweet potatoes, with interest at 4 percent per annum. The remaining 30 percent was paid with stocks in government-owned industries.
From 1951 to 1953, the amount of land owned directly by farmers increased from 57 percent to 90 percent as a result of the land-to-the-tiller program, according to MOI statistics. Taiwan’s successful land reform has since become a model for many other countries. (THN)
