What were the economic reasons for collectivisation and was collectivisation an economic success in the 1930s?

Collectivisation is a policy of creating larger farms by combining small farms with each other. This way the farmers would farm together rather than individually. The reasons for collectivisation were for the soviet agriculture, the food was needed to feed the workers in the cities, NEP (New Economic Policy) was not working for Russia, cash crops were needed. In the 1930s coollectivisation was not an economic success. In 1927 the Soviet agriculture (1) was still old fashioned …

…Collectivisation was paused. In Conclusion Collectivisation was brought by due to the fact that NEP was not working for Russia and also for Stalin's five Year Plans and because Russia was going to be in famine if the country didn't do anything about. But Collectivisation was not economically successful. Bibliography 1. www.johndclare.net/Russ10.htm 2. www.historylearningsite.co.uk/collectivisation.htm 3.
