Abstract

The economic and political climate of the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics is changing rapidly. Because of these dramatic changes, it is difficult to provide an analysis of development in agriculture. Average annual agricultural production for the 1986-1990 period increased somewhat in volume when compared to the 1980-1985 average. However, the trend of increasing production did not continue in 1991, when agricultural output fell below the 1990 level. The primary causes of this downturn are crisis in the financial sector, disintegration of the material and equipment supply system to farm enterprises, price differences between industrial and agricultural commodities, the rigid purchasing system for agricultural outputs, weakening of central authorities, and state monopoly. Financial recovery and political stability are necessary for future growth of the agricultural sector. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
