EXPANSION OF RURAL COLLECTIVIZATION IN'CHINA
PROGRESS IN RURAL ORGANIZATION -- Peiping, Jen-min Jih-pao, 17 Nov 53
In 1952, about 25 percent of farm households in newly liberated areas of
China were organized while in old liberated areas more than 65 percent were
organized. In the entire country, there were more than 8,300,000 mutual aid
teams of all types, 3,663 agricultural production cooperatives, and 2,219
?.tate farms of which 52 were mechanized.
In the past year, the mutual aid and cooperative movement has not only
increased in size, b'it has also increased in quality. The future hopes of
China's agriculture lie in her organized farmers.

entire Southwest will increase agricultural cooperatives to more than 3,400
and in each province, households participating in mutual aid teams or coopera-
tives will be increased from 40 to 60 percent. In 1953, organized households
already formed 40 percent of the total and there were 59 experimental agricul-
tural cooperatives at key points. In all parts of the Southwest, organized
farmers produced more than working individually. Yunnan Province will have
more than 40,000 mutual aid teams.
