Yefimov, Vladimir (2005): L’agriculture de subsistance et les exploitations agricoles commerciales en Russie : la coexistence pacifique ou la guerre ?

Abstract

In the process of creating new enterprises on the basis of former collective farms, including those managed by large vertically integrated companies ("agroholdings"), it is necessary to separate its functions of social support (community dimension) and its functions of commodity production (commercial dimension). Some of these new businesses must deal exclusively with support of the villagers, and others may be turned exclusively to the commercial activity. This separation is absolutely crucial, because these two functions are in conflict with each other and the support of the rural population is not really the job of "agroholdings."
