This paper reviews farmland consolidation programmes in Taiwan and Mainland China, and studies their role in promoting agricultural growth while the economy underwent (undergoes) rapid structural changes, and in facilitating these changes by raising agricultural incomes and easing rural-urban migration pressures on cities. A model is developed of a farmer allocating time between three activities, farming, non- farming and urban employment, under conditions of small family farms.

An important feature of the model is that while a farmer can simultaneously engage in rural farming and non-farming activities, he has to choose either urban employment or rural farming and non farming activities. It is argued that as well as directly contributing to labour productivity in farming, FC can play an important role in reconciling conflicts in patterns of hours and pattern of labour inputs between rural farming and non farming activities, thereby enabling a farmer to effectively utilize both activities and helping ease pressures of rural-urban migration on cities.
