ASSESSMENT OF THE SOVIET FOOD PROGRAM

Robert Koopman

No 277843, Staff Reports from United States Department of Agriculture, Economic Research Service

Abstract: The Soviet food program, officially introduced in 1982, has had no significant impact on Soviet agriculture. Rising production costs and slow growth in per capita production of many agricultural products remain the rule today. Poor coordination and cooperation between agriculture and its related sectors continue. Prospects for improvement in production depend upon short-term, nonsystemic factors rather than dramatic changes in the basic Soviet system under which agriculture operates.
