1. In the census, land fit for cultivation refers to land able to produce crops, regardless of whether there are actually crops growing on the land. With regard to identification of such land, land fit for cultivation is not generally land contained in a land registry or for which there is a registered land title, but is rather land which is actually used for crop production. When the land category consists of paddy or dryland fields, but the land is actually being used for other purposes (such as covered with cement and used for a building or livestock shed, or used as a fish pond, landscaping feature, or parking area, etc.) and cannot be cultivated in the future, the land is not considered fit for cultivation. Land fit for cultivation includes the following types of land: Regardless of the land category, land currently cultivated or prepared for crop cultivation; land category consisting of paddy or dryland fields where the land is not used for crop cultivation but not used for other purposes; land category consisting of paddy or dryland fields where the land is being used for other purposes but can be restored to cultivation.
2. The 2020 Agricultural, Forestry, Fishery and Animal Husbandry Census Taiwan found that plots of land less than 1 hectare in area accounted for 81.4% of land fit for cultivation and individual farmers had an average of 0.74 hectares of land fit for cultivation.
