Abstract

This chapter examines the profit structures of farm management under the People's Commune by using a production cost survey and re-calculated the amount of net revenue utilizing our hypothetical wage for agricultural labor. The estimated results showed that the levels of hypothetical wages were consistently lower than those of official standard wage for major crops. Moreover, the amount of net revenue for major crops by use of the hypothetical wage recorded consistent surplus during the Mao era. These results suggested that production teams generated positive revenues from agricultural production and the surpluses were siphoned off through higher-level organizations such as brigades and communes to urban areas.
