Deep dives

Land Reform and Economic Growth

Land reform in Taiwan during the 1950s led to economic benefits for rural farmers. As a result of land reform, agricultural yields increased, and major landowners saw the value of their holdings decrease. This led them to invest in industrial and manufacturing enterprises. The government continued to release more land to farmers, resulting in a rise in private ownership from 57% to 90% between 1951 and 1953. This equalization of land rights was a success and contributed to economic growth in Taiwan.
