Research Abstract

Our research on the changes of rural society in the Russian Far East has finished for the present since we have tried on-the-spot inquiries in the Khabarovsk region twice from 1995 to 1996 and also in the Amur's plains in 1996.
A radical land reform started in 1989 to reorganise the traditional Soviet state and collective farm system and to establish a lot of 'Farmer' has caused big changes also in rural societies in this area. The number of newly founded 'Fermer' increased by 1993 at its peak, but began to sharply decline to 13,540 in 1995. These trends caused a critical situation in the 'AKKOR'.
Among of the state farms, we can recognise two trends of diversity. Some huge farm groups are improving their business performance by making for efficiency of administration. The others being forced to dissolution or disruption.
The performance of complexes processing farm products are taking a bed turn because of a cost increase by inflation and a reduced demand by ordinary citizens' defense by … More self-support farming on 'dacha', a tiny allotment. While import volume of foreign vegetables continues to increase, 'FPP' has accepted heavily damage.
What is shown above suggests some key points for the agricultural resurrection in the Russian Far East. Newly settled 'Fermer' and newly named old fashioned big farms should be firmly asked to organise co-operative work at every stage from production to sale. They could be requested to make further efforts for effective use of investment funds and management resources, and to challenge the higher technology of administration.
From this point of view the agricultural reform in the Russian Far East has just started. However, the changing process of social and economic features in the rural districts clearly reflect the structural distinctions between each character of the regional agriculture. After the next year's survey, we will be able to totally clarify the original subject 'agricultural structure under the Transition to a market economy' in the Russian Far East. Less
