碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 地理學系 === 99 === Erlun Township of Yunlin County is regarded as the most important production area for short-term leafy vegetables. In order to know the processing features and marketing structures of short-term leafy vegetables, this thesis aims to divide the production process in Erlun Township into two sections according to the concept of commodity chains: production end and marketing end. And by probing into the microstructure of the local marketing of leafy vegetables, the author examines the connection between the commodity chains, social networks, social space and environment in Erlun Township. The author finds that the planting of short-term leafy vegetables in Erlun Township is mainly based on households. The family members are the major sources of work force of farming and they depend on self-exploitation as the means of livelihood. Cultivation types and planting species are decided by the environment and biological characterizations, in other words; human is inseparable from the land. However, the narrow social space of Erlun Township leads to a loose production system, lacking of integration, and low cohesion. As for the marketing end of short-term leafy vegetables, there are quite a few marketing channels in Erlun Township such as conventional marketing, co-operative marketing and contract farming. And the prices of short-term leafy vegetables are mainly decided by the supply and demand of the market. Conventional marketing depends on the original social network and has a stable social relationship, while co-operative marketing has a better goods flow. And contract farming can lead to long-term cooperation partnerships between farmers. The marketing areas for short-term leafy vegetables are mainly around Taipei First Market, Taipei Second Market and Sanchong Market. Upon probing into the production end and marketing end for leafy vegetables, the author finds that there is no single node between the production process for the farmers to integrate or motivate the commodity chain and make it consecutive. And because of the distance between Erlun Township and other townships and the closed social space, which is only around Erlun and Hsiluo, there is a difficulty for the farmers to expand their marketing areas for short-term leafy vegetables.
