Abstract: Agricultural performance in the Communist Countries was generally favorable in 1971. In the USSR and Mainland China, production remained at the high level of 1970. A small decline in Soviet crop production was offset by an increase in livestock output. Also, livestock gained in Mainland China while the grain harvest was lower. East European Agriculture, however, recovered sharply in 1971 after suffering from flood damage and winterkill in 1970.
