兩岸農業合作交流或投資在過去十多年的兩岸交流活動中，從來不被放在主要位置，直至2005年四月底、五月初時臺灣在野黨領導人相繼訪中後，中國大陸領導人胡錦濤、溫家寶、賈慶林等人到國台辦有關部門，一致強調要解決臺灣農產品輸入大陸的問題，俾進一步吸引臺灣農民前往大陸投資。2008年5月20日臺灣地區領導人馬英九上臺後，兩岸政治逐步走向和解，同年12月15日兩岸也正式進入大三通時代，這象徵著兩岸經貿正常化的開啟，也再次吸引兩岸業界人士的積極參與，同時也再度吸引兩岸相關機構和學者的目光。據此本文僅就兩岸農業合作交流中存在的迷思、似是而非的觀念提出說明，及探討海峽西岸經濟區在兩岸農業合作交流中宜扮演的角色，最後闡釋了兩岸農業合作交流的方向、前景。

For the past ten years, the topic of agricultural cooperation and exchange or investment have never appeared a major subject during cross-strait exchange exercises. Not until after April of 2005, when Taiwan opposition leaders successively visited Mainland, Hu Jintao, Wen Jiabao and Jia Qinglin then instructed Taiwan Affairs Office and unanimously stressed the importance of solving the difficulties of importing Taiwan agricultural products into Mainland and further attracting more famers from Taiwan to make investments in Mainland.On May 20, 2008, Ma Ying-jeou took office, politics across strait move gradually toward reconciliation. Later on Dec. 15, two sides officially stepped into "three-direct-link" era. This symbolized the start of normalization of cross-strait economy and trade. It immediately re-attracts the active participation from people and institutes concerned both sides.This article is trying to clarify the myth and paradox existing in the task of cross-strait agricultural cooperation and exchanges. The role that "economic zone on the west coast of Taiwan Strait" should play in related to agricultural cooperation and exchange is also discussed. Finally, this article interpret the direction and prospect in the same regard.
