Abstract

The People's Republic of China started food control policy in 1953. In the first few years, rural areas were in crisis because of aggressive purchases by rural cadres. However, despite such hard controls, the amount of collected food was stagnated. This caused by the inability of rural cadres to accurately assess food production. In order to overcome the difficulty, the PRC adopted a new policy of fixing the amount of food purchase. The timing of the new policy and agricultural collectivization movement overlapped led peasants to joining agricultural cooperatives even for those who were originally reluctant to agricultural collectivization. Thus, the agricultural collectivization movement progressed at a speed faster than the central leader's expectation.
