Because of altered investment priorities, policymakers in socialist
countries can no longer increase the resources devoted to
agriculture as they have in the past. Instead, they must seek
alternative means of improving agricultural performance. One
approach has been to change the structure of socialist agriculture
and to foster organizational changes within agricultural units. The
contributors to this volume evaluate such reforms and weigh their
implications for agricultural output and trade. They examine the
normless links being introduced in the USSR and compare Soviet
experiences with the successes of Chinese and Hungarian
reorganizations; describe and analyze the changes being implemented
in the German Democratic Republic, Yugoslavia, and Vietnam; and pay
particular attention to the role of Polish agriculture in the
production crisis and to agriculture's potential for improving
Poland's overall economic performance. The contributors also
address issues of infrastructure development, the incentives being
developed to foster more efficient allocation of resources within
the agricultural sector, and the likely growth of East-West and
intra-socialist agricultural trade.
