Restructuring of traditional farms and new land relations in Ukraine
基于1993/1994年对2500名农场管理者、雇员和私人农民的调查,报告了乌克兰农场层面在土地改革和农场重组计划下的变化,发现改革处于早期阶段,超过60%农业用地已从国有转为集体所有,但私人农场规模小、占比低。
This paper reports the results of a 1993/1994 survey of 2500 farm managers, farm employees, and private farmers in Ukraine, highlighting changes at the farm level in response to programs of land reform and farm restructuring. As of early 1994, Ukrainian reform had moved to the first stage, which involves privatization of much of the agricultural land and creation of shareholding farms. Over 60% of agricultural land in Ukraine has been transferred from state to collective ownership; among the collective and state farms surveyed, nearly 75% have reorganized and most of them have allocated land and asset shares to members. The number of independent private farmers in Ukraine exceeds 30 000, but with an average farm size of 20 ha they cultivate less than 2% of farmland. Reform at the farm level in Ukraine has thus begun, but at present is at a very early stage.
