Commune- and Brigade-Run Enterprises in Rural China: An Overview

Keith Griffin and Kimberley Griffin

Chapter 6 in Institutional Reform and Economic Development in the Chinese Countryside, 1984, pp 210-222 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Agriculture as the foundation and industry as the leading sector: today more than ever before this epigram describes an important feature of China’s strategy for rural development. Since 1978 there have been major changes in economic policy and with these changes has come increased priority for commune- and brigade-run enterprises. Indeed, within the Ministry of Agriculture a new division is in the process of being established— the General Corporation of Chinese Commune and Brigade-Run Enterprises — in order to regulate rural industry while encouraging its rapid expansion.
