 Agriculture of the Soviet Union - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Agriculture in the Soviet Union was organized into a system of state and collective farms, known as sovkhozes and kolkhozes, respectively.
The theory behind collectivisation was that it would replace the small-scale unmechanised and inefficient farms that were then commonplace in the Soviet Union with large-scale mechanised farms that would produce food far more efficiently.
However, some observers say that despite isolated successes, collective farms and sovkhozes were inefficient, the agricultural sector being weak throughout the history of the Soviet Union.

 Economy of the Soviet Union - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Soviet Union created the modern world's first centrally planned economy.
One big problem which plagued the Soviet Union's centrally planned economy from the very beginning (possibly excluding the period of NEP), and especially from 1928 onwards, is the lack of the price signal which told the producers about the consumer's needs at any point in time.
The 1976-1980 five-year plan shifted resources to agriculture, and 1978 saw a record harvest followed by another drop in overall production in 1979 and 1980 back to levels attained in 1975.

 Gulfnews: Ukraine marks anniversary of forced Soviet-era famine
Soviet dictator Josef Stalin provoked the famine in a campaign to force peasants to give up their private farms and join collectives.
Authorities collectivised agriculture throughout the Soviet Union, but farmers in Ukraine - known as the breadbasket of the USSR - fiercely resisted and bore the brunt of the man-made disaster.
Russia argues that the orchestrated famine did not specifically target Ukrainians but also other peoples in the Soviet agricultural belt, including Russians and Kazakhs, and this month said the issue should not be "politicised".

In fact, the fall of the Soviet Union and Belarus’ independence in 1991 have had little impact on how the factory is run.
Free of communism and Soviet domination, Poland has made a relatively easy transition to a free-market economy, at least compared to the other countries of Eastern Europe.
Belarus, on the other hand, lacked the same kind of popular opposition to Soviet rule, and independence was more a by-product of the Soviet Union’s fall than a deliberate Belarusian effort.
