Back to Basics: Household Food Production in Russia

Author

  • Paul Caskie

Abstract

In this paper the increasing importance of household production to total food supply in Russia is analysed and its relevance to agricultural reform discussed. The structure and profile of production are described and its incidence amongst households quantified. Factors influencing production are identified, and distinguishing characteristics between urban and rural households are highlighted and given historical context. The market share of output traded is also estimated. Finally, it is argued that the relationship between rural household production and large‐scale farming operations has impacted on continuing attempts to re‐structure socialised agriculture.
