In order to identify whether Taiwan Orchid Plantation(TOP) and Chang Hua National Floricultural Plantation(CHNFP) are able to bring about clusters respectively, this research will firstly introduce the definition of science parks and clusters, and then present some case studies of agricultural or horticultural parks and clusters in Canada, European countries and Mainland China, focusing on the relationship between parks and clusters. Secondly, this research will look into the environment, layout, and the incentive system of TOP and CHNFP. Based on the experience of foreign countries and the current situation of TOP and CHNFP, this research will finally give some suggestions to foster the establishment of clusters by TOP and CHNFP. The suggestions include:
1、For the development of TOP, the management team may consider to extend the lease term of land, to set a definite amount of management fees, to build some dormitories for workers and to help the orchid growers establish foreign plantations in order to attract more orchid growers.
2、For the development of CHNFP, it might be better to let Chang Hua County Government make appropriate plans and execute them under the approval of Council of Agriculture. However, this research also suggests the Council of Agriculture to establish a set of rules to evaluate proposals for new agricultural parks.
