Économie rurale, 1976, vol. 111

Abstract: The social progress of the rural community, the objective of the farm and land policy of the GDR, cannot be achieved without reforming the land laws. The land reform which, both globally and in principle, concerned land ownership and use and the means of production, is heading towards collectivization. The gradual changes in the laws governing land ownership and use are connected with the different stages of socialization. The setting up of LPGs - farm products cooperatives - has led to a change in the law governing ownership of land and of the means of production and of output. The intensification of socialization and the gradual transition to industrial-type production methods, by means of the cooperative movement, are based on the setting up of bigger and more specialized production units - LPGs, GPGs, VEGs. Finally, as a result of the LPGs and VEGs, the intercoopera- tive - legally an autonomous body - has its own plan, management and finance. Its main concerns are improvement cooperatives, agricultural chemical centres (ACZs), intercooperative undertakings (ZBOs) and various specialized plants (for drying, storage, processing, animal production). In conclusion, collectivization of land and of the means of production, the development of cooperatives and the setting up of specialized firms, make possible an intensification of agricultural production, the introduction of industrial-type production methods, lower cost prices,, better returns for funds invested, and greater productivity. The rights to land ownership of the cooperative members remain. Their ownership is realized above all within the activity of the cooperative and in their financial results.
